If they have no interest in politics whatsoever then no, not voting doesn't matter, really. You can't force someone to do something they have no interest in.
If, however, the person is even remotely concerned about politics... (ie "anti bush/kerry") and they don't vote, that's irresponsibility and laziness.
Generally it's the whole "blah blah, I hate so and so, but I won't get off my ass and do anything about it." It's annoying.
IMO, if you didn't vote, you can't really complain about who's in office. I guess this does change from state to state... if you lived in CA (guaranteed democrats) and you hate Bush and don't vote, it's not as bad as you living in, say, Utah or Texas as someone who hates bush and doesn't vote.
