That's right, I'm done. I thought Obama was gonna be different, but at the end of the day, he's just like all the others: A puppet on a string. It makes no difference who ends up in office, so I'm never voting again... EVER. The last draw was when the U.S. decided to invade Libya.... Our country is in a so-called recession, yet we can afford to spend millions of dollars on a brand new war... For real?? And our reason for demanding that Ghadafi step down??? Because he is allagedly gunning down his own citizens.... Since when does the United States care about the fate of Libyan citizens? You know there's an ulterior motive... So, yeah... I just don't care anymore.

    if anything, i vote so i can have the right to complain. of course you can anyway, but what good does it do to yell outside when you can be right there in the kitchen? not that politicians give a ? about voters anyway......? it, you know what i mean.

    Wait a minute yo...hasn't ? BEEN ? up??? What voting has to do with the way the federal banking system pimps this country?

    That voting ? is for the gullible...

    How do you dethrone a force that doesn't want to be dethroned? By voting? LMFAO!!!

    And for real, George Bush Jr. wasn't even ELECTED in his first term by the people. I repeat HE WASN'T EVEN ELECTED. The people voted for Gore. But the electoral college put his ass in that office. Voting didn't put him in that office...at least not of the people's votes

    People voted for Obama but that's not what got him in there. They placed that homie there all in the effort for PR. Bush was so hapless and so blatantly dumb that they had to put somebody in there that the majority would feel safe with. While they continue their same ? ...

    And don't politicians always change the tune they're singing when they get elected????

    Voting is a lie...

    You may have freedom of speech

    But say "I hate ? " or jews on TV and see how that works out for you...

    sometimes i don't think people understand how voting works in this country. oddly enough, the electoral college also put every previous and subsequent president in office.

    I'll vote 3rd party, but I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to vote again. I doubt highly things could be any worse than now, a Republican can't be much worse than Obama. Republicans and Democrats both seem to love the same things so America is completely screwed in the long run. Endless wars, tax cuts for the rich, cuts to all kinds of budgets while the Pentagon rakes in 500 billion plus a year. A vote for a Democrat or Republican seems to be a wasted vote, unless one votes locally. Locally I see some good in Democrats, but nationally, Dems and Reps both suck

    Which shows all the more reason why your vote is meaningless. Why should states(individuals appointed by politicians) get the right to determine the President indirectly, instead of the American people, in a Federal election? Granted, it has only worked in GW case, but I just wish people would stop saying this is a democracy because clearly it isn't.

    LOL, at people voting for a candidate chosen for them and getting mad when he doesn't keep his promise.

    well, some states run their particular electoral systems differently. and there's nothing wrong with taking issue with how the system works if you're brainstorming changes for whatever reason. but i don't see why anyone would pretend it was some kind of new twist in how the system works.

    How does voting give u the right to complain when its you that voted these ? in. That George Carlin video sums it up perfectly. I voted for Obama at 18 just cause he was black and it was my first time voting. I knew he wasn't gonna be ? though, I was heavily on my conspiracy ? in 08. I was also very pro-black during that period though. I probably won't vote again until politics in this country stop being so predictable and Hollywood. That will probably never happen.
