I've reached such a point of disgust with politicians in general 
that I feel almost no inclination to vote. Why vote, if none of the 
candidates promises to do what you believe to be important, or even 
speaks about important issues?

The choice offered is an illusion when you don't want any of the 
candidates elected, and when you know they are all going to lie to 
get elected, and then do essentially the same kind of things once in 
office. It becomes a question of, "Who is going to screw up the 
situation the least?"

I can't even remember when there was a politician I had the least 
respect for. They are all lying, hypocritical, gutless bastards.
