I have become so disillusion that I plan not to vote this go around.
isnt that just burying your head in the sand? not voting is not having a voice imho. having said that, in aus we have to vote :P

I know, it's a cop out.  But you think, what's one vote?  It won't make that much different.  But in my heart I know it can.  We have two years before elections, and let's see what is offered.  If one is as bad/good as the other, then it won't make a different.

I personally think that voting is a waste of time, but yet I still vote. I guess the reason I do so is mainly because it is my duty, but then again, I think that some how it is all worked out some place and to give people the right to vote is just a way of giving the people a voice, but without the sound. I guess this might not make sense to some of you, but I just feel that if everyone was to cast a vote for one person, the other person would win if that was the plan, and our votes don’t’ really count anyway, it just shuts us up.

I have read a lot of all the post in this topic, and I have to honestly say that just a few of you are on the right track, while a few are blowing the old conspiracy theory which is totally normal. This topic was a good one, and I would like to hear from more then just the few people who have made a comment. Of course I do feel that maybe this is a subject that shouldn’t have been brought into such a great site, it is very depressing, and can cause problems with others whom might not agree with others.

We have all been treading lightly ;)

You would be surprised at how many people feel that same way that you do, and it isn't a cop out, it is a choice, and your choice is respectable, and no one will look down on you for not doing it.

eeek

You cant complain if you dont vote   ;)

You have chosen to accept what other have voted for.

That's funny, because I did vote for Bush, twice.  Personally I think he is doing a fine job and I do not think Blair is a USA puppet. Things look bad now because no one not even I anticipated war and all that has come about.  But I should not have been surprised because I know where we are in the scheme of things and we have been warned to be on the look out.  We weren't!  WE got clobbered again with our pants down.  If I personally was attack on my my person such as the USA was on 9/11, I would come out swinging with no holds barred.

And so would have any other person, or country.  Of course it looks wrong, barbaric, terrible to everyone else, you weren't attack. Walk a mile in our shoes before you critized.  As being called dumb or dumber by 'you', you need to do a reality check.
