Nader for President in 2004

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/20.../index_np.html

Who's with me in thinking that Nader really needs to run in 2004? The Democrat and Republican candidates are virtually the same, right, so there's a need for a real left-wing candidate. They all support the war, they're all for varying sizes of tax cut, what's the difference? Go Nader!

(Honestly, though, anyone agree with me that a few major right-wing donors would be better off donating to the Green party campaign than to the GOP? I'd say that every Nader vote probably siphons off at least 70% of a vote from the Democrats. Given that, I wonder whether at some point right-wing voting dollars would be better spent promoting the Greens against the Dems than by promoting the Republicans against the Dems. It'd be a sort of two-pronged attack - fight against the Democrats for moderates on one side, and then eat away at the Democrats' left-wing base by promoting the Green party. Muahaha.)

he's got my vote. although i know it's not gonna make a difference, just supporting him on getting the word out though.

:(

I wish I could be a cavilier about that but you're probably right. I still vote Green because I think I should vote for who I want, not for who I think will win.

God bless you.

Well, considering the fact that i got ass raped when i voted for gore last time, I might as well vote for Nader. I mean, he's not going to win or anything. That or vote for someone on the Communist party.

Vote Green :)

see, thats the problem. if more people would vote for who they want to win, something big might happen. but instead, millions think to themselvs, "Well, Nader doesnt have much of a chance. so ill vote democrat/repulican and not waste my vote."

my first presidential vote will be for Ralph Nader, if he runs.

Yeah Rhydant! Rock the vote or whatever... I'm gonna be like millions of other Americans and write in for Mickey Mouse...

Holy crap! I know Stone didn't start this thread...I must be dreaming. Well I voted for Nader last time and since we've pretty much got the same people again, I'll vote for him again. Since Oklahoma doesn't have a statewide Green party, I can't register with them, but I am a memeber of the Cleveland County Green party. So I hope more people vote for Nader, should he run, because, if anything, it'll send a message to Washington that people are growing tired of Democratic/Republican ideology.

Lately, the Democratic party has squandered away alot of the good graces I previously held towards it, and I'd like to see an actual progressive/left candidate get at least some serious support this upcoming election. Who would I vote for in the Democratic party in 2004, anyways? Dennis Kucinich I like, but he's an even farther shot than Nader.

+1 Nader.
