All right, who voted for a third party?

All right, who voted for a third party?

that would be me - i can't stand either of those morons... i'm voting third party until we get more than just republicrats in the national debates. i loathe everything about the two major parites, and i agree with probably 90% of everything nader is for... i also voted for nader in the last election.

[Darque Knight]

Right now I think Nerdcore and I are split on who would make a better write-in candidate between George Carlin and Spongebob Squarepants... Neither would be worse than who we're going to get. I just want this election season end... I actually miss regular comercials for regular products that don't need to be approved by any one.

Funny, my canadate isn't even listed.

Im so "on the fence" on this one its not even funny. And i've spent way more than my fair share of time researching these guys. I wish it was a simple as "X is bad and Y is good" like so many people seem to think, but im pretty conflicted about these guys. Wouldnt a nader vote be a wasted vote? Despite the fact that he (along with a lot of other no-chancers) have some good ideas. Basicly if you vote for nader your a spoiler for whoever wins if the race is close, and you voted for whoever wins if its not. I've spent a lot of time reading about nader (been following this guy long before it even occured to me that he might be vote worthy) , im not dismissing him, it just seems futile to throw a vote at him. In the last election there was a (dismally smalll but it was there) that he might get a large enough percentage of the vote to get backing for his future campagin efforts, but in this ellection even the most optimistic forcasts say "no chance".

troy, nader is the best hope for a non-republicrat to get (i think) 5% of the popular vote. it's my understanding that doing this will enable him to get federal election campaign funds, and also include him in the national debates with the republicrats. of course, i know he won't win - that's not my goal at this time... i want people to have a real choice, and i think that, once informed of at least one 3rd party candidates' viewpoint and stance, they will start to realize that the republicrats aren't the wisest choice for our nation.

by the way, i voted this morning... going to go start a poll now to see who else did...
