Originally posted by xKaoSx I seriously dont see how someone can vote for Nader- Althought you may agree with all his views- blah blah blah- He is not a feasable candidate to win. Im glad YOU at least realized this - unfortunately many others think they're making their voice heard (and pretty much voting for Bush at that point- which im pretty sure would be 3rd on their list)

Nader would be a feasible candidate if the centrists and progressives united to rally behind him. Instead, everyone is stuck in a two-party mentality: only Democrats and Republicans may be president. As a result, we have a political system in which corporations and other wealthy individuals and groups essentially fund the re-election of candidates.

If you had to run for re-election to your job every 4 years, and someone paid for you to do so, you would look out for their interests first. The people who voted you in would be somewhere much lower on the list. Both the Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this. I would much rather have a candidate who's first priority is the people who vote him into office. Additionally, Nader has excellent ideas on electoral reform, enviormental policies, and consumer protection. He balanced the budget based on 2002's fiscal tax revenue and provided enough of a surplus to pay off our national debt. He then made the figures avaliable on his website. On top of all that, i beleive Nader is extremely open with the American public and doesnt need a team of spinsters or political skewing to get his point across.

Yes, I did vote for Nader/Camejo this morning. As someone else said, theres much more that the Supreme Court.

Or a tube of petroleum jelly, whichever your poison.

But seriously, I found it much easier for any newbies here to come in with a more or less "open-minded" approach, even if you feel passionate one political party over the other. Ask questions more often than making assertions.

After awhile, you'll get to feeling more on stable ground where you can start throwing out wild accusations and tin-foil hat conspiracies, hoping to God some of them actually stick. Of course you get flamed every now and then, but occasionally your accusations and vitriole hold water, and then you feel oh so vindicated!

Hence my daily routine!
