There is nothing wrong with not choosing a candidate for President when both are imbeciles (as in 2004). Our nation voting for "the lesser of two evils" over and over has come to the synthesis of our modern, flip-flopping ineffective Presidential candidates more concerned with polls and what people might think than living and dying by the side of core beliefs. I will be the first to admit that voting for Obama in 2008 was the wrong choice. I eat my crow. But, there was NO way I was going to vote for McCain. So yes, in hindsight, I should NOT have voted for either or anybody for that matter (as all the third party candidates are pretty much useless). To denigrate somebody for doing that is to take away his or her voice. If everybody would grow the set needed to say NO and the turnout for the Presidential election was something ridiculously low like 30% then maybe it would wake politicians up and tell them they had better change their tune.
So, just quit with your self-righteous "civic duty" bullshit.I and many other people are turned off by the sweet choice of Obama or Romney or, ooooh... maybe Nader will jump into the fray again. Or, maybe we can make a real statement by getting Lyndon LaRouche one tenth of one percent of the vote! Third party candidates... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
