If you were eligible to vote in the 2004 election please answer honestly. Did you vote, or do you just love to complain but take no action.

I' voted in every election since 1960, it's my duty as a American and out of respect for all who gave their lives in past and present wars to pay for that freedom and privilege. I can't say my choice won every time, but I Voted!God Bless America!

I like to vote, then complain. I did vote for George W. Bush twice, but I do regret it. Mind you, there is no way in HELL that I would have voted for Gore or Kerry, but I wish that I had voted third party.
I still have no idea who to vote for in this election. As a conservative, I have doubts about all of the Republican front runners. Ron Paul has a vocal following on Yahoo! Answers, but I have to do more research before I'll make a final decision. And yes, a good third-party candidate is definitely an attractive option.
Or I could follow the advice of my favorite bumper sticker:
"Cthulhu for President: Why vote for the lesser evil?"

Yes! I am now 44.
I have not missed a vote since i was first eligible.
Even for local offices, issues and primaries.
Also volunteered for candidates in 2004.
It is every Americans duty. If we all did this, then we would never have to worry about anyone stealing elections by a few thousand votes. It would then have to be clear loss/win of several hundred thousand votes.

I vote not to vote.
I will gadly vote when the time comes that the candidates are so good that I am in the position of choosing between the field of best of the best. Two goods instead of the best of two evils.
After all who goes to a bakery and makes a choice between two things he does not eat, but the desparate. Which you choose dung pie or dung cake? If you don't eat dung why choose at all? Why patronize that bakery?
Voting is not the only way to take action. For some, voting is a way to complain. For others, voting is a way to alter or abolish the things disagreeable. For many, voting is peer pressure, performed because "we say so".
There are other methods available to citizens to alter or abolish the destructive habits and behaviour of government administration. Most start with being resposible as a individual citizen.
Ask yourself what is missing and what do you stand to lose. Ask yourself who has been benefiting and continues to benfit. Is voting merely busy work to keep the masses pacified.

I have voted in every primary and general election since 1970. I have always registered with a political party so I could vote in the primary, but I have never voted a straight party ticket and never will. EDIT: I just saw the other answers--I'm ancient aren't I? I didn't feel old till you folks answered :)
