Neither. I am going to vote for Ralph Nader. Here's why. I may be a registered Republican, but I, for one, am sick of GW. If a different Republican were to run, I might vote for him, but its a bit late for that isn't it. So, do I vote for Kerry? Heck no. I am not in any way convinced that Kerry will do any better a job than GW. If you look at some of the recent polls you will see that I am not alone. The majority of people are dissatisfied with Bush's handling of the war. HOWEVER, the polls are practically 50/50 between Bush and Kerry. This means, although they don't like Bush, people don't see a reason to shift their vote to Kerry. So why Nader? Well, for one thing, he doesn't to belong to any party these days. That means, in my mind, that he is more apt to vote as he feels as opposed to how somebody else tells him to feel. Also, having browsed his website (http://www.votenader.com), I like some of his stances. I am particularly hopeful about his mass media reform policies. However, I am not so blind as to see that the US is not quite ready for an independant candidate to win, but if nobody votes for them now, there will never be a victorious independant candidate.

When did we stop voting for the best candidate and start voting for the candidate who will do the least damage?
