choice again

I watched Ralph Nader on Meet the Press this morning And believe he is a good alternative to whatever we have. I hope the people for the sake of choice will back him up

I supported Nader in 2000, but ended up trading my vote to someone in Georgia, and voted for Gore in my swing state of Missouri.
There is no way I'm supporting Nader in 2004. I think this change is because I have matured as a voter. (I also like the Democratic alternative better than I ever liked Gore.)

Anyone who supports Nader in 2004 might as well be a republican. In fact, a lot of his supporters probably are Republicans.

If you want to support third-party politics, or independents, start on the local level. A third-party will never break into the two-party system by a decapitation attempt at the presidency, no matter how many times you vote for someone who polls in the single-digits. Nader is no Teddy Roosevelt, and even Roosevelt ran as a Republican before founding his own party.

You certainly have the freedom to vote for Nader, and Nader has the freedom to run. But you're wasting your vote, and Nader, quite frankly, is wasting away any chance for change!
