I\'d love to vote Green, but did back in 2000 and felt that although I voted my conscience, I also felt that my vote was somewhat wasted on a candidate that really didn\'t have a chance to win. Unforntunately, neither party has really put forward a candidate that I feel I could back. It looks like this year, I may abstain my vote. I feel that voting for someone that you cannot fully back is worse than voting not voting at all.

I can\'t vote in the Democratic or Republican ,primary and I\'m pretty sure Massachusetts is gonna vote whoever the democratic candidate is gonna be in the actual election. I might as well put in a vote to let the final tally know there are some of us out here.

just towards politics in general. they are all a bunch of crooked puppets bowing to the all mighty oil barrel because the dollar just isn\'t worth it anymore. I\'m just sick of working for nothing.... the US would be good off if they just kept there collective political mouths shut along with there doors for a couple years and get back to building the crap out of this nation of ours. quit feeding every country but our own, quit stepping in with both feet. but unfortunately some **** stepped in past there waist and no one wants to help pull them out. these rich **** need to stop doing what they think is good for US. if they want to control something so bad go and buy yourself a third world country and run them into war and poverty because my ancestors left a nation to get away from that **** to make a better life for there future generations.
