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?

to quote ComradeRed, voting for the lesser of evils is still voting for evil.

I can actually say I love that guy. Where'd he go anyway? cry.gif

As for monsieur OhBrian:

QUOTE
first hes better than bush


I would agree/disagree with you if you gave reasons as to why you believe so.

QUOTE
he looks good than bush


Looking good is a matter of opinion. I don't think either of them can ever be considered as attractive... maybe in their younger years? I don't know.

AND looks don't do much when making decisions about national crisises.

QUOTE
hes an american hero


So are policemen, figherfighters, teachers, fathers... etc. Do you mean to belittle everyone else?

QUOTE
hes against war (hooray for us younging)


huh.gif Not every "younging" is against war, m'dear.
