Just being "devils advocate" but "Rom. 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God" could also be used to justify one's decision to vote."
Since God operates all and we do not have free will, our decision to vote and our preference for a particular candidate or group which is established by environmental and other facors, is technically (albeit indirectly) directed by Him.
However there is no monopoly on "got involve in politics and did wrong very wrong insulted a lot of christian family members and was harsh with them." We've all done stupid stuff like that and most of us have those moments we would love to undo, but can not.

It is silly to argue about something God has already determined before there was a world.
We have our opinions about how the country should be run but even that is willfulness on our part.
For better or worse God has a plan. We should do as we are told and simply observe and prepare.

Absolutely True Dennis, it was predetermined a long long time ago before We were Born & it's awfully Silly to argue about it, Amen to that.
Thanks, Samson.

When I have already said something inconvenient or with the wrong spirit/motivation.. All I have left to do is to think:
-What just really happen out there...
-What would have been the right way to handle that...
-Now, what am I going to do about it?...
Once I figure out the answers, I move on and regrets are gone.
Anyway, the points I have just said tell pretty much how everybody have been trying to help.

In my opinion, When I don't vote, neither do I feel with the right to complain. And, since I don't expect much from them: I never feel disappointed (well, maybe sometimes a little bit, but I sleep very well at nights :)
