I just find it difficult to reconcile Nader's professed desire to oust Bush and his independant run for the Presidency.

I mean, come now Mr. Nader. Those two desires are in direct conflict.

Here's another thing that proves Nader's shit: Where was the fuck during the last FOUR YEARS? Eating crow?

Apparently all the evil corporations take four years off, so he will too. And then when the media turns its gluttonous eye to election time ... whoop! Nader's there. Lap dog, he's sheer lap dog.

I find little wrong with Nader's professed agenda. It's his true agenda that worries me. That agenda lies hidden behind bullshit and egomanicial whinning.

At least with Bush I know why he wants to president - he wants to turn the US into a Christian Saudi Arabia - a United States of Bushia, if you will. But Nader? Nader I have no clue what he really wants. That's even more frightening than manical, messianic fantasy.

does the Green, or Libertarian party have even a snowball's chance in hell of winning?  Yeeeeah i didnt think so.  So, if you hypothetically agree that the Gree /Libertarian parties would get murdered by the Republicans, you then look for the next logical party which addresses most of the issues you want addressed, and can really have a shred of hope in winning the election, which leds us to....the Democratic party.

This is exactly my point and answers six's post too.  This attitude is wrong.  I'd rather have another four years of turmoil if it would gaurentee a true revolution of the system.  it's messed up that you would have to feel that way wolf.  Whether there were two viable parties or not, you should still be able to vote for the one you completely believe in.  I don't think Nader is my choice either, but he sure as hell should run, and it shouldn't have this effect on our vote.  My highschool was 2/3'rds white over black.  It was a straight election for homecoming queen with about 4 candidates.  And every year it was the black candidate that won homecoming queen.  I don't mind that she won, but I know that she won basicly because she had a solid minority which translated to a solid majority in a messed up election system.  If there were run-offs it would have been a different, and more realistic result.  

We should not have to cheat the system (tell nader to sit down) in order to get short term results.  We need a full reform.  And I don't think Kerry, Edwards or the Democrats understand this.

Anybody that doesn't vote third party, just because they think it's throwing away a vote, just doesn't get it.

Just like all those that don't vote.  The reason it doesn't work is because of people like you.  If you don't vote, or don't vote for who you think is best, because you think it's a waste, you are perpetuating the bullshit.  I've voted third party very often, not because I thought they'd actually win, but if they get enough votes, it will encourage more and better people to step out of the dual party system, encourage letting them debate more.

It's not the system that's fucked as much as it's the people that think it can't be made to work that fuck it up.  Self fulfilling prophecy.

Allways allways the most inportant thing is to actually vote. Democracy can't survive if people actually make use of it! Obviously preferable if you don't vote for the absolute nutters and ape like maniacs who want to destroy the world and your country, but hey. I have and know people who've vote for the lib dems, not becasue we think they are going to win (alas) but becasue they were the best choice out there, and i didn't want to give my vote to the big guns who were talking shit. most inportant thing was thought that we made use of our vote.

*and*

We need a full reform.  And I don't think Kerry, Edwards or the Democrats understand this.  

First point: I'd rather not have four more years of turmoil even with a gaurenteed revolution in the electoral system.

Second point: we don't need a full reform. We need the system to keep diving towards the middle, rather than toward both wings.

Nader, like me, is a winger. Kerry and Edwards certainly do understand that American politics need reform. But they also understand that the system can work for them and can work for good.

Dean actively tried a reform package and has as a result revolutionized the Dem party. The Dems are hungry again and back on topic. But the key with Dean is he did it within the system cause that's how you get your point across. Nader has failed over and over because he refuses to take the chance that his positions get shot down while in public debate - he's waited until after the Dem nomination was fairly mundane and then reeled out his old evil corporation rehetoric. And I'm all about fucking the evil corps in the ass, but I sincerely want to do it and want to voice those opinions, and I want to catch flak and get shit on by those that disagree cause I want to be PART OF THE DEBATE.

Not yelling loudest when no one else has anything more to say.

Hmmm.....I've been a Republican pretty much my entire life (and before that I just didn't know what politics were....like before age 10 or so).  And I've been using a Macintosh since 1984, when I was also 10 years old (turned 11 later that year).

Well, look who brought it up....I mean, hell, he can't even SPELL L-I-B-E-R-A-L.  lol

Look, I don't care who your daddy is or how much political clout he has, you don't get through Yale without brains.  You also don't get through UPT without brains.  UPT has one of the highest wash-out rates of any training in the U.S. Military because most people can't take all of the technical knowledge involved to pass (UPT Stands for Undergraduate Pilot Training for those of you who don't know).  You think that just because somebody stumbles across words and has a hard time expressing themselves verbally that they are automatically idiots.  Thinking that way just makes you an idiot.

Word is there Ghostsniper is that Bush was not the best student, and he just barley got in to flight school.

I don't know if everyone has asked you this yet but...seeing as your the only person on this WHOLE forum who seems to LOVE Mr. Bush...

Heh. I always just figured he was a noob cause of all the stupid policy decsions, the allienation of our allies, the polarization of the world, the worst recession since the great depression (jobs wise), so on and on. The inablity to speak I chalked up to nervousness.

Well, I'll just give you ONE thing.  Tax Cuts.  I don't know about you, but they have really helped me and my family out a BUNCH.  And all this BS about the tax cuts being only for the rich is just that, a bunch of BS.  I am far from rich.

Okay, so you say Bush wasn't the best student and just barely got into flight school.  Dude, it still takes some brains to pass college courses at Yale and Harvard, even if just barely.  And also, you say he barely got into flight school.....have you ever seen the test?  Man, you have got to have brains just to fail it with a 50% average.  Then you actually have to pass UPT and earn your wings....which is extremely difficult.

Stupid policy decisions:  they were only stupid to you, I liked most of them.

Allienation of our Allies:  you are either with us or against us on the War on Terrorism, so either fall in line or get screwed....your choice Smiley

Polarization of the World:  if the rest of the world is against us, I'd say we are doing a pretty damn good job.  Like I give a shit what France or anybody else thinks about us.

Worst Recession since the Great Depression:  WTF!!!  Wake up and smell the MOTHER FUCKING TWIN TOWERS BURNING YOU IDIOT!  You expect the economy to just take what happened on September 11, 2001, and jump through hoops?  Man, you are a bigger moron than you make Bush out to be.
