YOUR VOTE DOES NOT COUNT!!!
It's all a big hoax dude.
The NWO wants to make you think you have a choice, the fact is, you don't, not only is it incredibly easy to hack a voting machine several different ways WITHOUT getting caught, but the people who create the machines actually make sure that a certain candidate wins, usually the one who pays them the most, this IS proven.
All you're spewing is the same vomit the MSM spits up all the time, you don't know jack about what you're talking about, show me where it states that it is my DUTY as a citizen to vote, bullocks!
If you think you're so smart, answer this question:
How does a candidate get MINUS votes, like John Kerry did, he got -1,600, that's MINUS, that's a mathematical impossibility considering voting, it's either zero, or more than zero.
You should consider watching this documentary before making anymore stupid statements:

Seriously dude, seriously.

And I am okay with it. I would at this point, on this day of the 2008 Presidential Election, to remind everyone here that this is indeed a conspiracy website. While I respect and commend our many members for their participation regarding the decision of our government, I must respectfully disagree that the election is not fixed.
It is irrelevant as to whether or not Obama or McCain wins. They are both humans who have enjoyed the attention of various political and corporate interaction and as well enjoy a higher standard of living than the Average American. Good for them, and while I am aware that 'individual success' is a good indicator with regards to the efficacy of ones expression, I do not hold it to be true in this particular case.
There is a lot at stake here...the attention of arguably the strongest national superpower in the world.
My question to the membership is this:
Why do you think that the 'Powers That Be' would accept any percentage of chance regarding the leadership of this nation?
My follow up is this:
Why is it then relevant to place a vote for one of two individuals likley conditioned and prepped for the role of such a vaunted position?
Please keep this thread on topic. My questions are clear and I am indeed curious to hear response from the membership, but as 'civil duty' is a vehemently cherished concept in some regions, I feel the need to remind everyone to remain within the Terms and Conditions of this site when 'judging me' for neglecting my 'civil duty'.
Thank you.

However, it will also not make your voice be heard. Those ticks? That voice? They mean nothing to the preordained leaders who've been handed to us by TPTB. Zilch. Sure, you're voicing your opinion... to a brick wall. Not talking to brick walls does not make somebody a bad citizen, it makes them a non-insane one.
I did not see any way that supporting - or if what you say is true, voicing my opinion for - any of these jackasterisks would help me or my country, so I withheld my support. If it helps you sleep at night, go ahead and say that my voice was made heard in the form of a "tick" on the list of people who think all the candidates suck.
Oh, and write ins? They don't mean jack unless the person you write actually ran as a write-in candidate.
You want to make your voice heard? Write a letter to the paper or something. Every word you put in it will carry twice the weight of your meaningless vote.
FYI, this "you're a bad citizen" crap that you're regurgitating is just more of the "Us Vs. Them" population control tactic that's gotten us into this two-party mess to begin with.

The point is, we basically already have a country where nobody votes. Oh, sure, you might stand in the box and check somebody's name. They let you do this, so you think your voice matters. I can do this in my living room, on a fake voting machine. It will have the same effect: Nothing.
Forgive me if I don't believe in wasting my time just to try and "voice my opinion" in one of the least effective ways possible, and spare me the "good citizen" crap - I pay my taxes and obey the laws, and according to the law and the Constitution those are my ONLY "civic duties."
