Reply #8: Kucinich or Nader [View All]

[WitchWay]

Fingers crossed Kucinich will win. I think there may be big surprises. If not, I support Nader. I will not vote for a pro-war candidate. How can you have loyalty to a party, who has no loyalty to you?

Dennis Kucinich so energetic. He did great in Hawaii. I know that doesn't sound possible, but he's attacked Greenspan trying to cut social security in a way that was far stronger than Kerry. Also, I think his new ads are awesome. I spent today watching the videos and commercials on his site, and reading up on his campaign. He is a really special candidate -- and I hope everyone realizes this before prejudging him.

Otherwise, it's Nader all the way for me. Sorry, I have ideals and I'm NOT backing down for them just because the Dem strategists are too stupid to try to create a party that gives a shit about me and encompases my ideals. If they don't want my ideals, or think I ought to be more pragmatic and tow their line, f&ck them.

If you think Nader cost the vote last election, look into this real deeply. Look at STATISTICAL exit polling in Florida - instead of doing grade-school arithmetic. If you do -- you will see that WITHOUT Nader, Bush would have "won" Florida by a HUGER margin.

Nader has been unfairly demonized and villified by the Democratic Party. Nader has faced smear campaigns, false allegations, bullying, mean spirited attacks, ostracism, even threats on his life. I think this will begin to cease, though if people really look at the statistics and read what Ralph Nader has been working on all these years, instead of HATING him.

Democrats can scream and yell all they want that Nader is a vain, egotistical, misguided, monomaniacal ogre or that his supporters are rarefied fools -- but FOR GOODNESS SAKE, get a grip! IF you don't know anything about him, I would urge you to take a look. Nader has spent his whole life selfishly working and fighting for the good of the public. And if that's an ego-trip, I'm aboard.
