Let's see ...
Democrats = Big govt., open borders, abuse of civil rights.
Republicans = Big govt., open borders, abuse of civil rights.
Oh, I can think of a few more negatives on both sides
But as there are no constitution party candidates on my ballot and no place to write anyone in.... I'm not voting!

From your answers, it's clear that you think your vote actually means something...
poor fools.

Exactly. As Henry Ford said, "you can buy my car in any color so long as it's black."
Both parties in their hearts have one goal: One world government and the creation of a worldwide totalitarian utopia.
What is the difference? What does the constitution matter to anyone on any ticket?
Why should I vote when my choices are between Bad and Bad. No one reflects my values - why should I vote?
Should I choose between being forcefed glass or forcefed razorblades? Then, you say I'm not allowed to complain about my torture at all because I didn't choose my torment????? How stupid is that?
As for the writein - NO. Doesn't exist in my state except by petition which almost NEVER happens.

Cont'd:
It is all a joke, and now that it's over, watch what happens. Even with a Dem congress, big spending will prevail, the current Iraq policy will prevail, open borders will prevail and creeping socialism will be the order of the day. And if any one facist policy is thwarted, THEY will think of a workaround.
It's nice to believe the system works but it doesn't. It's hard accept that we've been rooked, but we have. Take the red pill and wake up people.
Read some of the more intelligent conspiracy literature out there. Yes, it's full of flakes, crazyness and red herrings as well. But nestled among all the garbage are a few bits of solid matter. Put them together and with any hope, you'll see the layers of fraud and deciet.

At last a voice of reason! Voting only enslaves you to this bastardized political system we have today. If you feel you must vote, do as I did and vote for Popeye or NOTA. You must be blind not to see how both sides are playing you against each other. No substance at all, only emotional knee jerk reactions. Wake up people. We are not free and the illusion of freedom is dwindling. Most sit back and allow more and more rights/freedoms to be removed every day. To those of you who are saying "you can't complain if you don't vote" I say this - don't cry to me when the fascist state removes the veil it's been hiding behind.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Long live economic anarchism

If you don't vote and things are going the way you would like them to, you cannot complain...there are other candidates/parties out there, such as the Libertarians...even if you don't like the candidates, there are local proposals that are important. A lot of people gave their lives so that you had the right to vote, so be responsible and do the right thing

If you don't vote, things will never change. Sitting around complaining about everything without voicing yourself in a valid way (voting) is just pointless.
I vote in every election and am PROUD THAT I DO. If my ballot has a candidate that I don't support, I always use the write in feature. I've never encountered a ballot (and I've voted in several states throughout my life) which didn't offer such an option.

No..I'm proud that I voted. Just to let you know...on my ballot there was open places to write in someone you wanted to have certain positions. You don't have to vote for everything on the ballot if you don't know about the person or issue, but you should atleast try to vote for the things you do know and care about. (ex. issues and such)

Yes, I am, this is my small way to protest all this nonsense, all this smoke screens and garbage happening in politics. I do not agree with how this country is being run so I no longer wish to participate in this so called Democracy. Right if your rich than you count, if you are the working class poor, than you taxed higher and have no real say. It sucks really!!!!!!!!!!

You'd be the one everyone could hear for 10 city blocks if your right to vote were taken away from you. I'm proud for the priviledge to vote, and I'm glad that I have.

Why wouldn't you vote? This is your time and your voice. If you don't want either dominant party, vote for the low man on the election ballot.
