Doesnt A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush sound a bit like Orwellian doublespeak? In other words, if you vote for a candidate that represents the concerns and values that we both share, youre actually voting for the candidate that does not represent these things.

If youre going to say that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, then also follow-up by admitting that a vote for Kerry is a vote for big corporations. As progressives prepare to go to the polls to cast a vote for John Kerry, they are becoming chicken shits who are afraid to follow their consciences.
shiva8:
i think i'll worry about my conscience in 2008. i don't like Kerry but i'm not going to waste my vote on Nader either as much as admire what he stands for. and that's what it would be...a waste. he isn't going to win no matter how many of the "progressives" vote for him. sorry to sound negative but let's be realistic. all i care about right now is getting Bush out of office by any means possible. even if that means setting aside my personal ideals because, lets face it... there are more important things at stake right now.

no offense. love

...feel free to give me the business (as Wally would've said)

But why doesn't he run for Senator? Or governor? I feel like he's asking for too much right now. Grass roots should be just that. Start at the local level, change some minds, and move on up!

My summer's lookin' pretty clear. You tell me when, I'll show up for duty on the USS TipSEA. Aye aye cap'n!
