None Of The Above...

I'm like you and have wished a few times that none of the above was a chioce we had. It's unfortunate that we don't have this choice. I think more of the people running would get off of their kessters and do what is right and neccesary for this country and the people in it if that were a choice for us. Then they'd know how most of us really feel. We are not given that choice however. I think they would be afraid to make that one of our choices. Because it would get more votes some years.

Do we even have that option? Honestly, I am like you. Not huge on McCain, but definitely not for Obama. I WANT to be able to write in my vote for Ron Paul. But you know even if there was a None of the above option they would only record it and report it as other or undecided in the news and one of the Yahoos would get what ever majority of numbers there was. Because if they recognized that as an option then we would still not have a president. Personally, I think all voting booths should be write ins. Make those public servants and volunteers count 'em LOL. It's their civic duty, right? But then again I guess I still think we are all born with an honest action based soul and follow through with that. But seriously I do think they should all, or allow all voting booths to have a write-in option.

I am also scared "spitless" about BO (body odor?). Do you mean none of the above offers a 3rd person or do you mean we would have a country with no leader? That would be even worse than BO. IMO it would cause absolute pandemonium and anarchy.

Hey Two. I understand the way you feel. I do like Barack Obama and will be voting for him, but if I ever find myself in an election year where I cannot side with any of the candidates, I would do the same thing. None of the above. Some may say that is unpatriotic, but then again is it really? If you cannot get behind any of the candidate, why give any of them your vote? The only problem is, someone will get in anyway, but I wouldn't want it on my conscience once they started messing things up that I voted for them if they got in, knowing that I only cast my vote because I wanted to vote for someone. I may not share your views in your opinion of the candidates this year, but I do understand and support your right not to vote.

I have to agree with you. Actually, I think Hillary would have been the best of the three and I really don't like any of them. I would definitely vote for none of the above!! It is a bit scarey that alot of the people in this country probably agree with you.

Well I never liked Hiliary Clinton, for no specific reason! I think John McCain criticizes to much! I am not crazy about Obama, but I think he is better!

I have to agree with you. I am not the least bit happy with the choices. I would love to see the box, but then what would you suggest?

Hi twoey, I can't vote here but heard from in-laws who are Democrats that they will be Republican this time..

Yeah, my client found one of those. If "none of the above" wins, they have to find new candidates - that sounds good to me. As for who I might want - well, that's also a good question - I don't know, just none of the ones offered to me. Oh, and like you, I will be having to vote for McCain, inspite of how much I don't like him.

I feel like you do "NOW OF THE ABOVE",But what would happen if we all voted that way I have no idea.They might leave the one we have in there until they can decide on an action.I feel like that is what they would do.I feel like BO is gonna get it,and we are in a lot of trouble,but we will have to wait and see.

This is one election that I wish that I could pick none of the above.I don't care for McCain or Obama.At least McCain was in the war.Obama I get bad vibes.Maybe when the election gets closer I will be able to pick someone.Great discussion Twoey.

I do agree, none of the above for it's how I feel too. I just don't feel completely comfortable with any of the candidates. I never have from the get go so I doubt I'll be at the polls this year because I don't know who to vote for.

I will say that is what I am thinking on doing I dont care for either candidate so I am really thinking on not voting for president.I am not sure what happens if everyone voted that way maybe Bush would have to stay.You have a great evening.

Hi Twoey if I lived in the USA I think my vote would be for Hilary Clinton for what reason I dont know why but I do think she would be a good candidate to go for yet on the other hand I really think that all partys are much a muchness and not worth voting for anyway but someone has to be in 'control' of the country so whomever takes over will be as bad as the one that got left behind so whats the difference really..bright blessings littleowl

Although I'm not American I think this is a great idea as very often none of the candidates are worth voting for. For the past two elections here I have just spoiled my voting paper. I could just not vote but I was brought up to realise that women fought hard to get the vote for us so my only option unless they do start putting 'none of the above'.

Ron Paul withdrew, but he also won several primaries. Write him in:D

I cannot vote in the American election since I live in Canada, but I think none of the above would work if the worse candidate gets in. So supposing many of the McCain supporters feel that since his stand against abortion is not strong enough, his design to open up the oil fields not forceful enough, they would never vote for the other candidates, so they refrain from voting. Guess what, the worse candidate, the one you do not want gets in, because I am sure that the Obama candidates will get in. Now you could vote for a lesser known candidate. What you have to do is to make sure that the worse candidate, the one that would take America's freedom away and who admitted children are a punishment, does not get in.

I was just saying something similar to someone else last night - There is no one that I want to vote for at this point. And I, too, wonder what would happen if when we went to the polls we just left that choice blank and went on with the rest of the ballot. Could we have a "None of the above" campaign? I'd probably even contribute to that campaign!

I am so disgusted with the election and i do not like any of them really..I do Hope Obama does not win(and NO its not because hes black) its because he scares me...I think Hillery only ran so she could get votes so she could drop out and give them all to Obama,hoping that she would be nominated for Vice President..I am going to just put down Ron Paul..He won't win but at least it will take my vote away from them i do not want to win..I might even put McCain down ,im not sure.I really would rather him win since someone will have to win,but i don't think he has enough votes either,,

As voters and Americans it is YOUR duty to do the WORK yourself. Do NOT listen to the talking heads on your TV or the slanted writings of those with their own agenda. You can find your own background info, voting records and platform issues that each candidate is aligned with. It is just a lazy cop out to say you won't vote because nobody is EXACTLY what you think is right. You can even write in your own name, Could YOU do the job required? Stand the scrutiny and face the grueling schedules of the campaign and /or the office itself? Make the sacrifices that will be demanded of the POTUS? Just be sure you are voting for a leader for OUR entire complex country and not a pope, pastor, soldier, husband or boss of your own SPECIAL INTEREST! Once elected...hold them accountable, stay involved and communicate! Call them on the promises that are soon forgotten and DEMAND they represent the voters that put them where they are and not bend to the will of corporations, bankers or clergy! We are a diverse nation with diverse interests but we ALL deserve fair treatment from our government. Worried about Immigration but know many businesses that prey upon them? Boycott those businesses and publically state your reasons. The reason we are in the mess we are in is because as a people we got scared and lazy after 911 and allowed our leaders to become comforters instead of Statesmen and problem solving partners. We did as they said and turned our heads and we went to Disney World and did some shopping......remember? Well, now we sadly reap what they encouraged us to sow. We shopped til we mortgaged our very lives and our childrens futures while they sold our country out from under us to the highest bidder. I will never believe the souls of those we lost on 911 rest peacefully knowing where the end result of their loss has brought us. Just stay home if you do not have the love and best interest of the United States of AMERICA at heart. We don't need or want your 'help'. Drag out another credit card and buy another Ipod.do what you know. God Bless and SAVE America.
