Disqus offers a new feature, similar to the one on tumblr, to reblog comments. I have begun to get more comments, and each day (or so), I will follow Fred Wilson and Bijan Sabet‘s lead and reblog one comment.

I really liked this well thought out comment by Roz. The fact that she stumbled across my post from a tweet, and felt strong enough to comment so completely and thoughtfully, blows me away.

Roz, you have added thought to my day (I am still not voting, but I am inching closer…)

Dear Micah:

I found you through a tweet on Twitter.

You, yourself made the case for voting in what you just shared above.

NOT to vote… IS a vote for McCain.

I am a registered democrat, but vote by the issues. Usually I stick to democratic, but I have been known to cross party lines in the voting booth.

As a New Yorker, I would have voted for Ruby Giuliani (or at the least strongly considered it) as I liked what he did as our mayor, especially during the 911 crisis.

In my opinion… Rudy Giuliani is a smart man and I believe he changed his mind cause he really did throw the election – in my opinion, that is.

Then I was for Hillary Clinton. I was for Hillary all along, but I was true to Giuliani. When he dropped out I was full swing for Hillary.

Then Hillary lost and I was going to vote for McCain, for the wrong reasons. Stupid I am not, so I really had time to be swayed.

During the democratic convention I popped in and out. I listened to the speeches (still have to find Bill Clinton’s speech, but I know what he said).

I AM one of the masses who are struggling because of the way things are. I am NOT alone and am surely better off than those who are losing their homes and have no food on their tables. I am far from complaining, just being honest as to how things really are.

I listened and I cried. I cried because I DO NOT want this to go on. I feel so bad for all those who are hurting so badly — people who worked hard all their lives are standing on food lines and have no health insurance.

WE as a country deserve more. WE as a country have known better and our leaders have let us down.

I listened and learned about Barack Obama and his “carefully” selected running mate – Joe Bidon. I had never heard of Joe Bidon before, but I AM VERY impressed.

IF there is the slightest chance Obama and Bidon can make a difference they “have my vote!” I AM voting for Barack Obama and Joe Bidon — for sure.

To NOT vote, is like giving the election to McCain.

HIGHLY INSULTED…

As a woman, I am highly insulted by the stupidity of this all. The idea to choose an unknown “woman” with no experience to run the country in case of the worst case scenario – McCain passes on, is ludicrous and UNcaring by McCain.

I am not sure I can change your mind and prompt you to vote, but I ask one thing of you… PLEASE THINK HARD before you give this vote away by not voting.

Sincerely,

Roz Fruchtman
