As a practical matter we are limited to voting for either Coke or Pepsi. You can cast a vote for RC Cola, but it's a wasted gesture.

Excellent article.! As of now I am going to vote for Nader. That could change if Kerry was to move away even modestly from his pro-war, pro-imperialist , pro-Israel agenda. I rate the odds of such a switch at a hundred to one against.

lurger, I can fully understand and appreciate your point of view. But I would strongly encourage you to look beyond John Kerry and look at what this world wants. Do we want to live in the constant threat of war between the terrorists and a few folks like Bush and his folks. Or do we want to all get together as a world community and work to exterminate the terrorists and eliminate the threat of terror? Do we want to save our environment from the onlslaught launched by the Bush folks? I encourage you to think about the quality of life in this country and the impact of outsourcing it would have on our quality of life. We need to think more about Bush and not so much about Nader. I would vote for Nader if he would have a chance. But my vote is very precious to my and my children's generation, more for my children who cannot vote and are relying on me for their future: their education, their environment, their security, their hope for a good job and most of all for this nation to continue to be a land of opportunity not only for them for for our next generation. For now, I am more concerned with getting the people, who are holding this country hostage, out. That is why I am going to vote Bush out. And I plan to do so by going along with the one who has the best chance and the resources to do so. And that is John Kerry. I can agree very much with Nader. But he does not have the required resources.

>>I'm tired of hearing the Democrats rail against Ralph Nader.>> Another deluded twit. Let's pretend the world works the way we want it to, not the way it does. Spoil it again, you get another 4 years of the shrub. But at least you can say ha ha, I'll teach you to pay attention to me and how I can spoil it if you don't conform to my ideology right down the line. So you gain a few percent of votes if you toe her line, and lose twice as many from the independents. Brilliant. With instant runoff, I might even vote for a Nader type. But never that egotistical, self-centered clown himself.
