Answer this question for me... Options

[*kryogenix*]

I've approached some people with the question, Why John Kerry, even when you acknowlege that he's a lousy candidate? They reply "He's not George Bush. Anyone but Bush."

Well, Ralph Nader isn't George Bush. Michael Badnarik is not George Bush. Why not vote for them?

Most reply, "Because they won't win."

I thought the reason we vote was because we wanted the candidate with the closest ideals to ours to be elected. Not because we wanted to vote for the winning candidate.

Responses?

first of all ohbrian: WTF> he looks better than Bush? Just leave debate now... you see that little X on the top of the screen? Click it, everyone else will be a lot less annoyed.


okay sorry-- I am just sooo tired of people saying "he looks better" "he is cuter" "he looks like ____" GOD! Why don't we just have a f ucking beauty pagent instead of an election?

okay....

to anwser the actual question, I don't think I would vote for either of them if I were old enough. Both are power hungry and people that should not be leading us. BUT I support Kerry because
1. I was raised a democrat (thank god)
2. As dumb as this sounds and as much as I hate saying it, he is the lesser of evils... I would rather have Kerry in office then Bush.
3. It's honestly between him and Bush, I mean there isn't really a big chance Green Party or Independant (even though I would rather have Green Party all the way baby) would win this year because this year it's more BLACK and WHITE.
