That does mean, however, that you forfeit your right to complain about whoever comes into office should you abstention nevertheless result in someone being elected (which is the likely scenario unless a huge portion of the population declines to vote).

There is nothing that I hate more than people who complain about the government, and about the politicians in office when they did not even take the time to vote. If you are going to bitch, then vote! If you are not going to vote, then dont bitch! Let the best man or woman win the 2008 election! As for me, I'll be voting for either McCain, or Guiliani, or Obama, or Edwards, or Huckabee, or Clinton... actually, i don't even know who i want to vote for!

He favors a non-interventionist foreign policy which will no doubt please many people outside the States. But then, they don't have much say in this election do they... How is he faring thus far compared to the other Republican candidates? From what little I know of Ron Paul, he’s a halfway decent fellow.
