Even if you are disillusioned with the candidates do you still vote?

I'm not discouraging anybody from voting, I'm just wondering whether or not they vote if they don't like the candidates.

Yes, I vote (since I became eligible in 1986).
Not that it has done a lot of good :) - my Presidential votes have been Fulani, Perot, Dole, Phillips and Cobb, all my candidates for Governor have lost and I haven't voted for a winner for U S Senate in 19 years.
I voted for who I thought was the best candidate each election, and glad for the way I voted. If anyone wants to run for office, they should probably have me endorse their opponent!
I agree with Eugene Debs in that "It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it." I think that voting is a great right, and everyone should exercise that right.

I voted on election day in 2004, 2005, and 2006. I have always been happy with the candidates I voted for.

I do vote. If I am disillusioned I try to find the candidate that best fits my beliefs, even if they are not the two front runners.

You bet! Don't discourage people from not voting, either. More power for me and the people that do vote.
They pay millions to convince us to vote one way or another.

I haven't missed a vote since I turned 18.
