RE: Vote John Motherfucking Kerry
about nader - i'm not against you if you after his views but he could gone about it in a better way me thinks. Selling a DVD with your issues isn't going to give him anymore credibility than what he had before. Instead, he could have recorded a public speech or something - not debating with puppets!
Dave, you may be right in this case where the votes wouldn't have helped Kerry but it just almost seems to me like giving up... if you are living in a non-swing state - you can do whatever you want - it's not gonna matter. Like even if I put Myself in the write-in - it wouldnt' matter - Kerry would still win my state. But states like Ohio or Florida are crucial. The people voting there should really think twice about voting for their ideal canidate. Sometimes, you just have to settle. The chance that nader is going to win is very slim to none. so if you have a strong chance to determine your country's future, don't blow it by trying to proove a point.
I agree with your issues Ched. Completely do, but you must realize that if we have George Bush for president by pop. vote, the majority of our country must like Bush. There's no doubt about it. He might not be popular with everyone but it's just the way it is. The way I see it, humans are greedy - they don't care about other countries/ they don't even really care about others living in the same country all that much. However, they care about their safety more than anything else. If anything, that is why George W got reelected. I've had discussions with W voters before, they all gave similar answers - they felt safer with Bush in office. You can't argue with a set mind like that. I dont' see ourselves safer with George W in the long term - maybe he's more short term minded.
