I have a very hard time thinking that it's not a wasted vote.

The outcome of this election *will* be 100% Bush or Kerry. There is no possible way that a third party candidate can win.

How is that not a wasted vote? I mean.. I understand the whole "how can they win if no one votes for them?" thing, but... they simply don't have enough influence at this point in history to make them a wise choice.

If you don't like Bush, then vote him out - plain and simple. It IS a "lesser of two evils" choice if you hate em both... because even if you vote a third party, the winner will still be Bush or Kerry. Who would you rather have president? Bush, or Kerry? You can't say neither, because that's not a likely option. You have the CHOICE, yes, but it won't happen.

If you hate Bush, but dislike Kerry, you voting for Nader won't help Bush get out of office and it certainly won't help Nader get INTO office - he didn't even qualify for the debates.
