2008 Presidential Election

I would vote. IMO if you don't vote, you don't get the right to complain about who's in office.

Ah, but that's the lovely part about this country. Everyone has the right to complain, about anything. And some people do, endlessly, about everything.

One other nice thing about this country as that we take voting to be a right and a privelege, NOT a mandatory requirement. If you don't like any of the candidates, why bother? A write in vote, for someone not even on the ballot is an exercise in futility. Do you really think anyone in the political hierarchy really cares if you write in someone else? Do you really think it will make one iota's worth of difference? Hell, do you really think that voting for ANYONE will make one iota's worth of difference?
