[mikehiggins]

2. Too much flouride in the drinking water? eom

[Mz Pip]

3. None here

I did that route once before in 1980 when i made the huge mistake of voting for Anderson instead of Carter. We got Reagan, whoopee.

4. Alzheimers?

[IronLionZion]

5. sub-conscious love for George Bush?

[SWPAdem]

6. Slow learner, or just masochistic?

That is the question.

[SadEagle]

8. Sure.

If one is:
1. Someone who generally votes for republicans.
2. Doesn't like Bush.
3. Doesn't like the Democratic nominee.

In this case, vote for Nader is perfectly reasonable.

Note: I am not claiming there is any individual who this applies to.

9. Yep.

There are reasons to vote for Nader, but I don't find them particularly persuasive. Here is a thread where I lay out my own personal reasons why, even if I were voting my conscience in the GE, Nader wouldn't make the cut.

10. Nader should run for Senator ...

If Nader is serious, he should run for Senator or Congressman. President isn't an entry level political position.

BTW, Clark wasn't a politician, but he was a senior level person in the Pentagon for a VERY LONG time. That is public service and relevant on a presidential resume.

11. Because choosing the

wimpy Dem candidate didn't save me last time?

[HuskerDem]

12. Because W needs some wackoff material

poor guy.

[Forkboy]

24. Sadly,wanking material is what most of these Nader hate fest threads are

[Rationality]

14. Conscious over "electibility"... but

We've seen enough of Bush to know that anyone, even Lieberman, would be a step up. Then there's this idea where we wouldn't have had Bush in office had just 300 of those Nader voters in Florida went for Gore.

[madrchsod]

19. Yeah, Deaniacs really suck.

All they did was resuscitate a moribund political party and open the political discussion on why Bush is a criminal idiot, leading the way for someone "electable" to be able to have a platform they can win on. (As in any war action, the first wave gets taken out.)

Damn them.

[lucidmadman]

26. Could the AWOL card be played with a guy...

...skieing in Aspen after his deferment as the candidate?

[jpgray]

25. This was a depressing post. (nt)

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Sure.

1. Nader's enormous ego needs to be fed regularly. It's our duty.

2. Bush is so low in the polls now that we won't need all the votes we can get.

3. Just because it didn't work last time doesn't mean it won't work this time.

4. Kerry isn't <insert favorite here> so we should vote for Nader just out of spite.

[Lugnut]

18. Nope.

Go away Ralph.

[MurikanDemocrat]

20. I wouldn't expect to find reasons at DEMOCRATIC Underground

[poskonig]

21. All corporate regulations deemed unconstitutional for forty years.

Wait, only Republicans like that kind of Supreme Court.

[Semi_subversive]

22. Not one f***ing reason

to vote for Nader. It has already cost us four years of misery!
