Cances are the battery is extremely low. It takes a ton more power to crank the starter than to power the radio etc.
Turn the headlights on and crank the engine. If the lights get real dim, the battery is low.

I did what you said and the lights didnt dim at all.Everything stayed lit.So I am allmost positive it is the starter.

It could also be the ignition switch. My truck did the same thing, sometimes it would start fine, others it wouldn't even try, and then one day it just gave up entirely. Doesn't mean that yours wouldn't just up and die either. Pull the starter and test it with another battery. If it spins good and strong, you've either got a bad ignition switch or faulty wiring.
