Do you really want people to think you are "just another one who doesn't care enough"? If not, how else can you demonstrate that care? I suspect that very few people who do vote for either of the candidates will do so convinced that their candidate is perfect.
Being part of a flawed solution is better than being part of the problem.

Ok I really was gonna drop this and not get into any more, but this little voice inside keeps pestering me.
Lets see, you mentioned lesser of two evils and few people who do vote for either canadidates, so are you saying that there really is only 2 canadidates on the ballot and not 5? I only know there is 5 because I picked up a sample ballot today from the court house. But all I ever hear about is Bush and Kerry!! So are the other 3 wasting their time? Is it true that it's all about who has more money? So if I vote for one of those 3, will it really make a difference?
The only reason I posted to this thread in the first place is because of the poll. If I choose to use my RIGHT not to vote, then this poll is making me feel like I'm a criminal and a non american which sould be punnished by having a voter withhold sex from me. Maybe I'm taking it all wrong. But I was born here which makes me a citizen. I love my country even if has it's problems. I have a flag in the back of my car window that has been there since the first day of 9/11. I always thought I was very patriotic with my t-shirts and coffee mugs of the american flag. I thank all the military persons who come into the store where I work. I guess this poll just hit a nerve with the choices of the terms used. I am a patriotic american citizen, wether it's right or wrong. I knew better then to make a post, but that dam little voice would'nt leave me alone.
