Simple. I can't seem to find a candidate I want to get behind.
I am not "copping out." I am not apathetic. I simply want a candidate whose platform includes a stance on issues, the majority of which I can get behind. Why should I be relegated to choosing from among two (or five or even fifty) candidates with whom I disagree on a majority of issues?
Granted, I need to see more than just the propaganda crammed down my throat by the Bush and Kerry machines. However, if I can't find a candidate, I have no qualms about abstaining. I fully understand that if I decide not to vote this year that I will be consciously foregoing the greatest privilege afforded to citizens of the USA. Call me what you will. I refuse to give my vote to someone I despise, merely because other think I should.
Now, on the topic of finding a candidate... anyone know where I can find objective and unbiased information on all current presidential candidates (not just Bush and Kerry)?
