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? |

That makes a lot of sense. I guess this just shows us how stupid people are when it comes to voting. I guess you could say any president who won an election was just a fluke. People don't know who to vote for! They don't vote for Bush for inadequate reasons, they don't vote for Nader or Badnarik because they're not going to win - what kind of logic is that?
If Kerry wins this...it's a complete fluke. If anyone wins, as a matter fact, it will be a fluke. You could even say people just vote randomly. It's completely unfair for those who actually have TRUE reasons. |
