On paper you've gotta go for Nader, but it's unfortunatly true that it's basically a vote for Bush. Change comes a little at a time I guess. Please just get that murdering fvck out of there...

WTF is wrong with this picture. There's this great candidate who's been running for years who isn't even allowed to debate with those two stuffed shirts. Voting for the candidate I really want is almost as bad as throwing it down a hole.

I hate politics. Can somebody sell me a good rock to live under?

as someone who has mostly voted democrat or libertarian, i have been torn between a 3rd party candidate and an "electable" one. but for me, especially in this election, i am looking at the cabinets each of these guys would install. for example, i think bush is a puppet. it's not bush i want gone as much as it is cheney, rumsfeld, ashcroft, wolfowitz, rove and rice. also i am thinking about the supreme court appointment looming - there will be a vacancy soon. nader has great ideas - and i support him but in this election, i have to go for the overall picture - there is too much at stake.

to quote Cheney, Nader can go f**k himself. Running once as a spoiler was bad enough, but he's still trying to get on the ballot even though a majority of his "supporters" are republicans trying to split the liberal ticket. Anybody catch the clip on the daily show last night? One of the people trying to get Nader on the ballot:

guy on phone: "Hi, I was wondering if you'd like to help split the liberal ticket..."

It's not about reform anymore, it's about his ego trip, and b/c of it he's helping bush get re-elected. :mumble:

Cool, then Vote Nader then. Stick to your Principles! Don't cave and be a flip-flopper... especially for the sake of political expediency.

Cool!!! Who is it? Because the only other person I see is a freakshow peice of crap that is in it for his ego...

The only chance in hell that a third party had in the last election was if McCain had balls enough to go independant. He would have taken enough republicans and enough democrates to be a VERY serious contender (IMHO).

And if so many republicans are signing up for Nader, then he's not a third party... he's an extension of the Republican party.

..and McCain is busy stumping for Bush and Nader can't get on any ballots...
