Refusing to accept the "I don't like either candidate" excuse

Ok, I'm tired of folks saying "I don't like either candidate", or "I don't think we have a good choice this election". In my opinion this is a very weak argument or justification for a lack of civic engagement. If you don't like either candidate, then vote for one of the other third party candidates.

Interestingly, most of the people that I get this response from did not participate in the primaries and are not familiar with the local and state elections on the ballot. Also, these folks seem to be leaning towards support of McCain.

If you have a reason but just don't want to share, I strongly urge you share your logic or justification as there are other undecided voters out there that may be able to benefit.
