What a ridiculous cop-out! Every election you hear this same thing from the same people.

"Everybody running for office sucks! I don't wanna vote for any of them, so I won't!"

The system is what it is and it's been this way for as long as we've been a country. You can either participate in the process and vote for who you dislike the least or you can sit on the side-lines and do nothing. And then you'll be the same people who sit around and bitch all the time because you don't like the way things are!

If everyone who refused to vote because they "hate everybody" got together and voted for someone, they could actually wield some power in this country.

I'm actually kind of surprised to hear that someone who is going through the process to get citizenship has this attitude. If I was a new citizen to this country, I would be excited to get to vote here. I look forward to voting in every election. It's the only real power that each of us has. Why would you give up that power?

I know several people who every election say that they aren't going to vote because they "hate everyone." The truth is that these people (that I know anyway) are simply too lazy to go vote so they use the "why bother" and "everybody is bad" as an excuse for their laziness.

Rinky, I do hope that when you become a citizen that you pick someone and vote.[/b]
If I was able to vote - I certainly would. Just glad this time I don't have to figure out who gets the vote.

Well I took a very similar quiz on another site and all of the top candidates were Republican - Ron Paul & Hucklebee.

My Top 3 on this one are:

Mike Gravel
Score: 40

Barack Obama
Score: 32

Hillary Clinton
Score: 27

So I'm kinda thinking that news site must be run by the Dems!
