Palin's Speech Tonite...

The way I've always looked at it if you don't vote you don't have a say. Voting gives you the right to carry on, and gripe, complain, or sing hip hip hooray. I view voting as a civic and social duty.

By the way, you can vote without voting for Obama or McCain, you know.

But even if you do not vote, I think you still have every right to complain - especially if the reason you didn't vote has to do with the issues and the candidates and not just because you don't care or are too lazy to.

Every person has the right to decide on voting but I'm with Mark here. Don't you see anything with any party that you would vote? Why be disappointed in the other guy getting in and you did nothing about it? At least if your choice lost you will know you stood up and got counted for what you believe in. I mean the old adage of "you have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything" comes to mind.

Neither of those candidates - or any others - adequately represent my views. I have pretty strong views on both ends of the political spectrum and can't bring myself in good conscience to vote for a candidate who goes against fundamental beliefs of mine that I won't budge on. I could vote for one of them if the differences were minor or issues that don't mean that much to me, but that isn't the case.
