To Vote or Not to Vote?

I'm not sure whether I should vote or not... Election day is fastly approaching and I'm still on the fence as to whether I should vote. I read a lot about politics and have been following pretty intensely with how the election has been unfolding and I can honestly say, I'm not impressed with either candidate. I know I wouldn't vote for Obama, but I'm not the biggest fan of McCain either, so should I just call it quits and not vote? A lot of people say that I should vote regardless because every vote counts and blah blah blah, but what good would my vote be if it isn't sincere? In all honesty, I probably will vote because we're able to vote on other issues and candidates (at lower levels) in spite of the presidential nominees (which I've also done research on and have stronger ties to) but what about those uneducated (by uneducated I don't mean a formal education, just about the election in general) voters, who should they vote for? Should they even vote?

I was speaking with a friend (who's totally and completely against gay rights), who mentioned she was voting for McCain. To summarize the gist of her reasoning, she said it was because he was republican and apparently republicans have some loyalty to opposing homosexuals. Well in all actuality, with gay rights (in terms of same-sex marriage), Obama, as well as McCain are opposed. In speaking to her, this seemed to be the only issue she cared about (or at least knew anything about) and yet the outcome would of been the same (in terms of gay rights) regardless of who won. Yet after telling her about this, she still said she was voting for McCain.

Should people like her, unaware to facts or anything for that matter be allowed to vote?

I've heard people say they're voting for Obama because he's black and I've heard people say they're voting for McCain because Obama's black? Wtf?! I know that everyone has the right to voice their opinions, and yes, we live in a democracy, everyone has a right to vote and thats all swell, but I don't want some uneducated voters risking my future well-being on their prejudices, indifference and/or ignorance.
