If you feel strongly against a candidate, vote for the person running against him/her. It might just keep that person out of office.

Despite how you feel about his politics, most people realize that it would be VERY difficult to defeat President Obama if the elections were held June 2011.
He is VERY popular.
This FACT is probably the reasoning behind Huckabee's decision to save his name, time, money, and resources to "fight" another day.
We still have time though.
Maybe the economy will tank again, making millions more Americans jobless, angry, and hungry.
Then, we will forget how much we admired him and vote for the other guy.

As usual, I disagree with you.
Not voting is what is stated-- not voting.
Ask today's American Muslims if their silence is a statement against Hamas and other Muslims who use violence as a means to an end.
Before we know it, people will be calling wrong right and right wrong, all in the name of whatever cause they're passionate about at that moment.

Not in our system of electing candidates.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. We're talking about voting for presidential candidates, not Hamas.

Maybe you're not aware that the economy tanked and stayed "tanked" for millions of Americans. I'm glad for you that the economy has recovered, but there are millions yet who need to experience this "recovery".
Who's the "we" admire him? There are multiple millions who cannot admire a man whose abortion beliefs are staggering in it's scope.
The media is acting and will continue to act as his cheerleader. If the truth were told as often as they hide his wrong doings, there would be less populairty for this man.

I believe that is what happened in the Primary between Hillary and Obama. Some republicans switched parties and voted for Obama, because they knew that Hillary had a good chance of winning over McCain. I know a republican that did that. I wonder if the democrats will switch parties in this coming republican primary election to pick someone to win that would not have a chance to beat Obama. What if, Cain wins the republican primary. That would be awesome.

And I know of Republicans who voted for Hillary trying to keep Obama from winning the Democrat ticket. As we all know - it didn't work.  I'd much rather have Hillary than Obama! (and I am NOT a Hillary fan!)

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY SANDIE!!!!
In regards to Hamas, American Muslims are by and large silent-- never coming in support or against Hamas or their tactcs.
Not voting is akin to this. It's silence in the face of the opportunity for a person to make a stand. It can be argued that it is this kind of silence that is most dangerous to any society.
The calling right wrong and wrong right is related to not voting when the time comes that not voting is touted as the way to enact change in our country.
The way to enact change is by voting-- using the electoral process codifed by our state and federal constitutions.
Not voting is not the way to bring about change or to make your voice known.

Hillary did not need republican votes, she would have beat Obama, it was Obama that needed the republican votes, and he got them. Yes most definately it did not work. I voted for McCain and Sara, and if McCain would get in for 2012, I probably would vote for him again.
