My father was in his late 60's before I ever saw him vote and that was because I was taking my daughter with me when I went to vote I was able to get him to vote then and afterward until his death. -- I knew his story, had heard it many times, both he and my mother, who always voted, had grown up outside of Scranton and he would watch the Ward captains go into the bars or go to work places and pay for the vote -- it embittered him, because he felt that all politics was crooked -- watching the devisiveness going on with Hillary and in the state of Pa I often wonder just what goes on in those back rooms and who really is casting those votes. But, unlike my Dad, I have taken my privilege to vote and used it if only voting for dog catcher. ABC News last night did American Voters a great diservice is their so-called televised debate -- watching it I could just hear my father's comments as I was growing up and yes he was bitter.
