You know Stunt the only thing that worries me about Nader is the terrorist situation we have but I'm not going to let these terrorist dictate who I personally think cares about all American citizens and not big business.
I'm not voting for Bush or Kerry because a vote for them is a wasted vote in my eyes, a vote for Nader is a vote for the truth and a vote for every American that has no say anymore in how our government is up for sale to the highest bidder.
I'm not voting for a bunch of freaking lies anymore it's like voting for David Blane, you know it's a trick but you're still impressed any ways.

Besides, Jesus looked a LOT like dudes i've seen at Grateful Dead concert or a Phish show...how many Republicans do you find there???<<
You'd be surprised. Bet I've been to more Greatful Dead concerts than you, but phish isn't my style ;^) While I enjoyed Garcia's Utopian Vision in much of his music, it was an escape of the spirit that many people enjoyed. But the next day reality sets in as one gets back into the rat race. I'll be voting republican again, and I've got long hair and a beard. I'm an Independent but Nader doesn't interest me. While I trust his honesty, I can't see him protecting us from the Terrorist threat. He is a reasonable man, but they are not.
Christ wasn't a POLITICIAN. His interest is Souls not votes. I doubt if he'd be in favor of any abortion, let alone late term abortion, so I guess he couldn't be a modern Democrat. Pretty sure he'd have issues with the Republicans too... So probably an Indepedent As for the other Ideologies go, I won't cast the first stone.
Kerry is in a state of constant flux, changeing his stance on things, flip flopping depending on his audience of the day. He wants to use his military service as part of his campaign, but seems to think nobody has a right to question just what really happened during it. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. He claimed he commited "all sorts of autrocities" during his short 4 month tour in Vietnam & had the audacity to compare it to the abusive behavior at Abu Ghraib and suggesting the it was Bush's fault. So my personal opinion is that the John Kerry running for President will do another flip flop if elected, and the American public will never see his promises fulfilled.
Although I don't believe in all of Bush's policies, he has done what he said he would. He faced a downsliding economy when entering office, and 9/11 had been in the planning for years by Al Queda. The UN had done nothing to force Sadamned into compliance with the 1991 treaty, lining their pockets with oil for food money. 9/11 changed things. We couldn't afford to take any chances that the Enemy of my enemy might become "their" friend. The UN was united when it passed article 1441, it wasn't based upon just the US's intel that Iraq still possessed WMD's. If Sadamned had dispossed of them in view of a UN inspection team as set down in the 1991 treaty, he could have ended the sanctions a long time ago. He was given a LAST chance. He flubbed it, although when it came time to enforce the consequences for non-compliance, France stabbed us in the back. (Of course none of those post sanctions "Made in France" munitions and weapons had anything to do with their skulldugery right?)
So while we have many problems and issues, unless we defeat terrorism none of them will matter for very long. Stuntman
