If people don't vote, they need to accept everyone else's decisions becuase that is why you have the right to vote.  You each have to exercise that right or you don't have anyone to blame but yourself.

I would vote for a law that would prevent misinformed and stupid people from having their vote count.  (weighted according to knowledge level at the very least)

If you don't vote, don't complain about what is going on. I voted, now I can complain to my heart's content...certainly worth the trip to the polls. Of course, once the votes are all counted, they will be sent to Florida to be recounted, and we will all win with another wonderful, honest, peace-loving government, won't we?

First things first. You need to weed out all the people who didn't vote in 2004. Because if you didn't vote you have no right to complain.\n\nThen you need to realize what you are dealing with is a bunch of spoiled brats that aren't getting their own way.

It wouldn't happen... as long as there are candidates, they will vote for themselves.

The truth is there is no "one man one vote," and there hasn't been since the beginning. It's just more obvious now, that our government is really about "one dollar one vote." Such is the way of a republic. So save up your money and become one of the haves.. that's the only way to win. Our government has no power. It's a front.

Yes, how can we be a country of the people if the people don't talk.  I might not agree with others but they should vote to make sure the people's will is being followed.  I like to think I am in the majority, but I do conceed I might not be.

Screw that - I'd settle for people who understood what the hell was happening in the countyr / world being the ones with the vote. Most of the voting morons I know - who probably need help to get dressed in the mornings let alone decide my future - are taxpayers...

I'd be completely baffled that enough people voted for her to actually gain office! Then I'd move to New Zealand or something!

You want to scare the politicians which is what will need to happen.  You can start this simple plan.\n1) Get nearly 100% of voting age population to vote.\n2) Write letters to the editors of newspapers accross the country.\n3) Write to you elected officials.\n4) Call your elected officials.\n5) E-mail your elected officials.\n6) Remember you can do more on a local level, however if all local levels are taken care of the National Level will take care of itself.\n7) Get involved personally in a campaign or run for public office yourself.\n8) Start to elect a cross section of the population to the Federal Positions and not exclusively millinaires.\n9) Register people to vote and take them to their polling place if need be.\n10) Remember that one vote counts.\n\nNow if you get enough people to do this all accross the country then you will find that yes one person does make a difference.  We have the makings of the best system in the world we just need to have full participation in it.  The squeeky wheel gets the grease.

Yeah, you got it about right. They may not to be able to do anything about it. It's up to the voters, remember this is a free country. We all get to vote.

Do due lack of anything else better to do.  I would be willing to bet that at least a third of them (if not more) did not vote at all in the last election.  \n\nNo vote=no right to gripe.

dont worry...they wont pressure the people into submission...and as for those vote pandering politicians who go against their voters...they might have a rude awakening come election day

Yes, because part of the "choice" in a democracy is not to vote for anyone at all. (Although a "none of the above" option on a ballot would suffice for that.)  The problem is that Americans don't believe that they have a duty to vote.
