Why would you vote for Romney? Are you worried about the national debt? The deficit? Romney isn't offering anything, any better.

At least vote third party. I hate to see hypocrites who have cried about Obama's spending for 4 years, vote for someone who will spend just as much in the next for years.

Stay home, but keep your mouth shut about the results.
Pretty simple, really.

There is also this "new" thing called a "Write in" ballot, where you can write the name down of any individual you want, even yourself.
Let me get this straight, I should waste time going to the polls to write in my own name, just to exercise my right to participate in the voting sham?

Nope I am voting for Romney because i want Obama out period. If Romney is as bad as Obama is I will want him out too..... And already i don't like Romney. I wish we could vote both the bums out...

Because there are other elections where my vote might matter, I'll be voting for Gary Johnson, which I figure is a miniscule message of dissatisfaction with D's and R's.
And you'll be ignored because you're part of the problem that you're whining about.
I don't give a hoot who you vote for, that's your choice, but if you don't vote, shut up.

You rely on others to make your decision for you.
Don't complain if you don't participate.

I'm going to save this post, as a favorite. Next year, when the deficit hasn't gone down, and Romney is spending more, I'm going to show you this post.

You are going to vote for someone you don't like, and don't think will do a good job, damned shame.

Its not a waste of time. Voting is never a waste of time. If you vote third party, at least you get a chance to make a change in 2016, because we won't get one from this election.

While you vote for a candidate that wages war all over the globe and then get on here and complain loudly about it? Congrats you voted him in and can consider yourself part of the problem.

Exactly!! -But they just don't get it. Bush didn't reduce the deficit. If anything, he gave one of the biggest handouts to the banks. The joke is really on Americans, because once Obama came into office "under hope and change", he continued the same failed policies as Bush Jr. In fact, the very first thing that he did was grant billions of dollars to the corporations.

Both Bush and Obama aren't concerned about average Americans, but they were very much in tune to the needs of their corporate masters. This is why I will continue to point out that both, the dems and repubs are two sides of the same coin. So it doesn't matter if the coin lands on heads or tails, you're screwed either way.

It really doesn't matter if she voted for Obama or Romney. The wars will continue under a repub or dem administration, because in essence the president is just a puppet. War and financial decisions are made at much higher levels.
