    Electile Dysfunction :

    The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president
    put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

    Why just 2008? not since I have been old enough to vote, which is a long time.

    Since you brought it up! Has it always been the case that your vote goes to the lesser of two evils?
    I've been voting for quite a few years ago, and occasionally I find a candidate that I support. I'm becoming less and less political. But usually I just can't get excited about voting.

    Exactly. Funny how Ameicans are willing to have only two major political canidates (Dems & Reps) to choose from when voting for president. If the American people only had two physicians, hospitals, automobile manufacturers, restaurants, etc. to chose from, they would revolt.

    But they seem content to only have to viaible political parties to chose from. And that has not been working all that well for decades but I doubt it will ever change.

    The fringe parties don't offer much to admire so far either.

    Haven't been excited about a Presidential candidate since Reagan.

    All of the rest have just been "the lessor of two evils."[V]

    I have a question: Everytime I bring this issue up, lesser of two evils, or I'm voting for a third party, I get trashed by people who say I am just throwing my vote away. And yet, my principles dictate that I not vote for a lesser of two evils in some cases because they are still evil. So, what would you say to someone who says you are throwing your vote away?

    I would ask them if they know what "principled" means. Of course it is rhetorical and sarcastic, because the answer is already known.
    If they said yes the follow up is "What have you against practicing it yourself, or those that do?"

    To quote southpark- don't you know? Every election pretty much boils down to the choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

    It makes it hard to get motivated enough to actually vote. It really doesn't seem to matter who you vote for. You never know what they are going to do when the get into office but you can be sure that it will fall far short of the promises they made during their campaign.

    I tell them that I will be doing it AGAIN, if necessary.
    I sleep just fine.

    Most of us don't vote for someone we like - we vote for the one we dislike least.
