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?

jesus, these debates go around and around and around in circles. i'll play along.

one of the many reasons bush is a bad choice is that he is willing to admend our lovely constitution to allow discrimination. this goes against the all american ideals of freedom and the right to pursue happiness, and i won't stand for bush to commit such travesty.if he's willing to f**k with one of the greatest documents in history, whats next? extending the length of a presidencial term? abolishing freedom of speech? he's already complained about the freedom offered by the internet. i wouldn't be surprised if he pulls a hitler and claims a "fire in the reichstag" to institute martial law.
