I don't I was able to vote finally in 04 I didn't care then or now in 08. :-( I looked at factcheck.org (a site someone had in there sig.) and was amazed by the LIES!! It's sad!! !! Plus it'd take the 4 years of office to get anything done!! ! Yes it'd matter job wise,money, etc. so I SHOULD care but I don't!! !! I hope there are others on my side to an extent. *Stands in forest all alone with owls hooing since no one is with me on this*

I believe this years' election, more than any other I've watched in the past is the farce EVER. It's the Jerry Springer of all elections and it shames me to no end that this is what we call "democracy".

Hoo- hoo.

I've never cared, there's never anyone I can side/agree with.

I did but I lost interest in it. It doesn't matter who gets elected. This country is screwed either way. The damage the Bush Administration has done is irreversible.

It's about choosing the lesser of two weevils. If you'd be happy with the big weevil, then don't vote.

Nothing wrong with voting, but the problems start when all options suck
- one gets the "whats the point" feeling, if i vote for this guy its gonna
blow, if i vote for that guy its still gonna blow just in a slightly different
way - The big question is:

I would run for office myself but if I ever get access to nuclear weapons, I WILL take over the world or at least establish full dictatorship over the United States. F*** that Checks and Balances crap, I want absolute power!! ! :twisted:

I don't care, but I should care. I mean, most people don't even have the right to vote. But that doesn't really bother me, since most of the elections are filled with so much crap I don't know what to believe.

I was going to say, "Is this campaign starting to drag on too long, or is it just me?" You guys just answered my question. Thank you.

Both candidates and political parties are unworthy of our trust and wish to give amnesty to illegal invaders. Their "compassion" only extends to the tools they are using in order to lower our wages and standards of living. Then they wish to offer us solutions that don't obliterate the root cause. The politicians wish to act as our saviors in expense of our personal dignity and the principles of the U.S Constitution. Don't forget that George W. Bush ran on a fairly non-interventionist platform in the 2000 elections. Always remain skeptical of these traitorous leeches.

In Australia we have to vote when we have elections. Anyway how long does it take to have an ellection, and how much money has been wasted on it, imagine the better uses of what they have used up.
