A vote for Ralph Nader is a vote for John McCain. Spare me

[Road Scholar]

all your lofty ideals and bullshit,if you have enjoyed the Bush years, then Nader is your man. I'm just sayin'.

1. In 2000 Nader said there was no difference between Gore and W

If you can't tell the difference now your a fool. If you think there's no difference between Hillary or Obama and McCain then your a fool again.

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader -- still not on the ballot in a single state -- has received a recent windfall of contributions from deep-pocketed Republicans with a history of big contributions to the party, an analysis of federal records show.

Nearly one in 10 of Nader's major donors -- those writing checks of $1, 000 or more -- have given in recent months to the Bush-Cheney campaign, the latest documents show. GOP fund-raisers also have "bundled" contributions -- gathering hefty donations for maximum effect to help Nader, who has criticized the practice in the past.

The donations from wealthy Republicans -- combined with increasingly vocal Democratic charges that they represent a stealth GOP effort to wound Democrat John Kerry -- prompted Nader's vice presidential running mate, Green Party member Peter Camejo, to suggest the consumer advocate reject the money that doesn't come from loyal Nader voters.

"If there has been a wave of these (donations), then that's something Ralph and I will have to talk about -- and about returning their money,'' he said Thursday in an interview with The Chronicle. "If you oppose the war, if you're against the Patriot Act, your money is welcome.

4. Nader is antiprogress because he turns people off. His message is "why bother to vote"

"They are all the same", "Tweedle Dee and..."

I have been hearing that lugubrious malaise from a lot of people since I was a youth. Well, it so happens that they are all full of shit. My course is better. Read the newspaper and learn something. Become an activist. Pick a team. Register and vote.

5. No, a vote for Ralph Nader is half a vote for McCain and half a vote for the Democrat.

This has been explained here myriad times.

6. I sure wish we had a system where people could vote for the candidates they wanted to vote for.

8. Since you know Nader can't win, your vote for him isn't stopping war.

If McCain gets the majority, it will be more death, more sapping of money from any domestic agenda, more of everything bad. I don't know how you justify this in your mind. I'd feel as if I had blood on my hands.
