I'm Abstaining this year, because I wont choose between a turd and a douche.

Of course, there's always the old "if you don't vote, you have no right to complain" line. I think the opposite is true: if you vote for the perceived lesser of two evils, you have no right to complain when more evil ensues.

The two party system that graciously allows us to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich every four years is no longer legitimate. Voting (for anyone) only lends an air of legitimacy to an otherwise hopelessly lost system. Not voting sends a powerful message if enough people do it.

How about you?

I think "not voting" or "voting for Ron Paul" will garner the attention of absolutely no one...and will send " no message".

Fish on...

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

There are a bunch of other candidates on the ballot.
Most are not much worse than the 2 choices from the major parties.
I will probably vote for 1 of the others.
Given the screwed up the electoral college system it really does not matter who you vote for Obama will get Washington's electoral votes.

I will vote for Romney. He seems to be the most sensible bet for the
country in spite of his failings.

I'm going to vote as I always have. I think I've only ever missed out on a few. The sad part is not having your vote count.

Not voting Romney or Obama this year.

I don't care if anybody cares who I vote for, or notices for that matter.

Still undecided who my write-in candidate will be. Sadly, Rodney King, one of my life coaches, died this year so he won't be getting my vote.

Vote for a guy that killed American citizens with out due process or a guy who said he would do it as we'll if elected? You are standing with criminals if you vote . You are also voting for a fiat currency system and a ponzu scheme monetary system if you vote for anyone in federal govt. hoping for change supporting the same old same old is folly.

Yes, I'll vote.

If not voting is the most powerful message you can send then, demographically, the young, poor, and uneducated folk have been sending the loudest message for quite a while.

I'll vote for that also.

I agree that not voting sends a clear message that the asylum is running just fine.

No one has my vote as of yet.

I generally like to go down to the little town hall in Buckley, say hello to the old timers that run the sign in tables, get the sticker that says "I voted" and I probably will again this year, though, I may just sign in, say my hello's and then leave with a smile on my face.




It is like that at the VFW hall in McCleary.

It really troubles me when I see such a priviledge go totally wasted. Casting your vote, sacred right as an American citizen, for someone who has no chance of winning, only to say you do not like either candidate, says nothing...butt nothing .... to anyone.

I personally would never choose brag about this this course of action for fear I might not be able to look someone in the eye say I really voted.

That's why I'm voting..........because it IS a privilege.

Do you get a 'Super Citizen' certificate for voting for Obama or Romney?

No?

Then how about you shut your cake hole about what I do with my vote, and whether it's "meaningful" or "wasted". You cast your f'n vote and I'll cast mine, and I'll be able to defend my vote just fine.

What I do to affect change in this country is not vote for those I believe are perpetuating what's wrong with it. So sue me.
