Idealism aside, though, I am more antibush than antikerry, so considering a main party candidate will likely win, I would prefer Kerry. But I am voting Nader anyway because I want to help dispel the myth that voting 3rd party is a waste. It is only like that because people believe that. And don't say I am taking votes away from Kerry, because I am not. I am a registered republican. So if I am taking votes away from anyone, its bush,

Thank you. No one has a right to say they are tired of voting for the lesser of 2 evils. The only reason there is a perception of 3rd party votes being a waste is because too many people are too scared to actually vote their mind. The more votes a 3rd party gets, at least, the more the big parties pay attention to their message, and at best the more funding those parties get towards a better chance the next time. Change happens slowly, but only if you work towards it.
