I'm sick and tired of the majority of my friends, and the majority of the poeple on message boards constantly contradicting themselves without having any real basis for their own beleifs. It seems everyone is just jumping on whatever bandwagon they think will be most fun. I have no idea what i think politically, and for that reason I don't plan on voting this election. I'd rather not vote at all then vote misinformed, which in my belief 80% of the public is doing.

No doubt about it, there are plenty of people on both sides of the Iraq thing who have their minds made up and do not want to be confused with the facts.
Edit:
Having acknowledged that neither pro-war nor anti-war people have a monopoly on the truth, I would rather err on the side of no war. In other words, the presumption should be that we do not start wars unless we have no other choice. Bush/Cheney applied the opposite approach.
