Na, Na, Na, Nader!

[Ben Kenobi]

Answers #2 and #3 on your poll are both correct--why isn't this multiple-choice?

Because I want people to really show their support for Nader, or to call him a tool of fascist republicans.

Since we're talking about third-party candidates, I found this. Currently on the front page of politics1.com:

MOORE ACTING MORE LIKE A CANDIDATE. Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore (R) -- the "Ten Commandments Judge" -- is starting to act more and more like a third party Presidential candidate. For a guy who isn't running for President "right now" (to quote his spokesperson), he's sure doing things that candidates seem to do. In fact, according to the Constitution Party's website, Moore is speaking at party events in Oregon and Montana this month. With President Bush currently trailing both Kerry and Edwards for re-elction by double-digits -- according to the latest CNN poll -- that last thing he wants in November is a "Ralph Nader of the Right" draining Christian conservative votes from his essential base.

Hey, Missouri voted in a dead guy in 2000.

I have to agree that many people will switch to the Dems just to get rid of Bush. The country can't take another 4 years of him.

Personally, I'd be all for a democracy where we got representation in proportion to votes, as I think happens in most first-world countries, rather than the U.S.' idiotic winner-take-all system. In the existing system, and lacking an instant-runoff option, I don't want Nader to run, even though I think he'd be a vastly better president than either of the corporate party candidates.

EVERY system is "winner-take-all" inherently. Unless each candidate gets a certain % of the presidency in your country?

Again, we're not talking loyalty to the DP--we're talking about beating Bush. Beating Bush will trump this ire in November, I guarantee it. Hell, most Deaniacs came to him because he was so anti-Bush. Why would they then aid Bush and not vote for the non-Bush? We learned the lesson in 2000 that the line "there isn't a difference" is hogwash.

If the Democrats had any cajones Bush wouldn't be the terror he is. They are the ones that refused to stand up to him. They voted for the PATRIOT ACT. They voted for war. They confirmed Ashcroft and Bush's other cronies. Even as far back as 93-93, when they had the Presidency and both houses, they let the Republicans set the agenda. Why will it be any different this time around? Dean I could see standing up to them. Clark I could see standing up to them. Kerry and Edwards are both p*ss**s who will let the Repugs tell them what to do.

He answered you already. It is a fitting answer. The people most enraged with Bush, are enraged because of the war and the PATRIOT act. The majority of Democrats cannot get it through their thick skulls that the energizing of hatred towards Bush was not because he was a Republican, but because of the war and the PATRIOT act. If Kerry and Edwards gave the green light, they are no better.

So, the DLC has made, once again, a strategic blunder. And it will cost them, once again.

I was tabling this afternoon at a youth conference in Virginia and Nader messed things up. He was doing the keynote which was scheduled for right before the tabling time, but his plane was late so it delayed everything.

The tabling time was slashed half an hour. Ugh.

Though I guess its not Nader's fault, its the airlines, but whatever. I didn't stop by to hear him speak, all the students said he was boring. I've heard him speak before, he isn't a particularly captivating speaker.

I think Nader just wants to run to give more votes to take away more votes from the Democrats so that Bush will win again.

[monkspider]

I think that you that you are an idiot.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Oh, please, please, please let Moore run!

Ain't gonna matter. Remember, the Republicans have more party discipline. They'll come out for Bush.

I think that you that you are an idiot.

This may be the first time I agree with you .

I can't help it that monkspider took my initial ranting post seriously.
