I am going to support Kerry by voting for Nader
In this way it will force Nader to go to the UN before running for president.

I'm doing it to protect the Democratic party by demonstrating a threat of force against the Republicans.

Before I go into the poll to vote for Nader I will call him and half-heartedly try to convince him to drop out of the race for the good of the Left.

Besides, Nader doesn't need my vote to run anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I vote for him or not.

Don't you dare call me inconsistent. Voting for Nader is completely consistent with wanting Kerry to win. You people obviously don't understand nuance.

And that guy over there, he claims to be against voting for Nader, but he tried to nominate Dean, so that proves he really wants Kerry to lose. That makes the guy a hypocrite.

I only like nader when he is popular. When people hate him, I blame him for deceiving me, even though many other people weren't fooled. but when he gives a great speech, I praise him. I am being completely consistent by doing this.

Lastly, you shouldn't hold my decision against me, because you need me to win in the future. and its obvious that anyone who gets away with an undesiriable behavior will magically reverse his behavior when a similar situation comes up in the future.

3. Heeheehee. People are sensitive right now, though. You'd better clarify
the sarcasm...

I thought it was funny, though (and accurate).

4. Yes and I plan to support him by voting for Bush
Unless someone has a better way to work with numbers than I have seen, it makes sense to go for the guy with the numbers that is opposing the guy you really don't want.

Any plans?

If this is an issue...my recommendation is to get got your guy more numbers. The race isn't over yet.

9. This is funny the way Rush Limbaugh's stuff is funny.
Only funny if you hate who he hates. Not funny at all if you don't.
