1) Too inconvenient
2) Lack of trust in a delegate
3) Lack of trust in the government
4) Not particularly a fan of delegates available

So wait a minute...you are asking people who don't vote to comment on WHY they don't vote?
#1 answer (if honesty were required) would be "Got stoned and forgot".
So, this being the undeniable fact that it is, what the hell am I (who does not vote) supposed to use as an excuse (since I don't smoke pot)?
I simply do not believe in the process, do not wish to support the electoral college and think the entire thing is bullshit. Money seems to win, no matter how stupid or incapable the person in front of the money is.

I have not even registered to vote.
Truth be told, I hate just about everybody in the government, and frankly could careless who runs for what.
I am a strong believer that Politics are pointless to me, and could careless what happens.Comment

I honestly do not keep up with any of the events, who believes in what, etc. I dont know anything about the candidates, so I feel it wouldnt be fair for me to vote. My ignorance on the situation is what stops me from voting. I wish anyone else who didnt know what was going on wouldnt vote either. Rather than making a stupid vote, leave it up to those who are educated on the situation. Its not your "duty" as an american to vote, IMO you're doing the system a disjustice.
Thats why I dont vote.Originally posted by blunti would jerk larry king off while tonging jflips ass if h0lmes would blow his head offComment

Give me a candidate who will actually uphold the Constitution instead of using it to wipe his ass when he runs out of toilet paper and I will vote for him/her/it.
Could you imagine a political race where candidates discussed and debated real constitutional issues instead of all the garbage they spew out at us on a daily basis?

I would have voted for Ron Paul - but any politician that speaks the truth is shit out of luck. Not just Ron Paul.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?Comment

Maybe it is just mis-trust. I vote in all of my local and state wide elections, and some of you may call me an idiot or an ignoramus or whatever, but I really don't care. I don't care how much CPSAN or whatever you watch, you don't know the true character of the person you vote for. I feel that a presidential election has come to picking the lesser or the evils, and that is plain no good to me.

If Ron Paul's "base" included something more than stoners, WoW shutins and White seperatists, he might have had a chance to at least score higher than the margin of error on most polls.
No, even then he was still some small town congressman who's just a wackjob that appealed to all the other internet wackjobs out there. Hey, at least he supports insurance companies dropping you if they don't like your genetic information. http://wonkette.com/386422/ron-paul-...ving-fat-genes

I'm glad more Americans don't vote. America as a whole are retards.
I'd estimate that less than 1% of the population has enough knowledge to vote. I mean that two ways. Smart and know what's going on in politics.
The last several elections I've been voting for the lesser evil of the candidates. Not for who I agree with.
Ron Paul is a bit of a whack job.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
