You could have voted for the independant or at least wrote in someone. It is pretty sad to think that about 60% of Americans didn’t even bother to vote.

Write in was NOT an option where I voted.
I also never got that “lesser of two evils” argument… if that’s the way you felt, vote for the lesser. Not voting all boils down to laziness, excuses and apathy.
So vote for some I disagree with so I can say I voted. Then why do I need to vote if I do not agree with the Republican? I should vote in someone I disagreee with because of this phantom belief that voting matters?
look at 2008 now, pick issues that are important to you, identify candidates or special interest groups that are aligned with the issues that are important to you, seek those candidates/sigs out and get involved.
as you know, voting is the end of the whole process, don’t sit around doing nothing until early Nov 08 and then complain, again.
When people don’t want to research the candidates, the easy way out is to proclaim that everyone sucks, its hopeless, and there’s no point in voting, ect. I believe its a copout.
So your going to throw that neo-con bullshit at me. Excuse I have served in the military in those locations and I have seen what those systems do but you still have not answered my question.
If I do not believe that my choice of candidates will make any real changes then why should I vote?
