Hey if you want to eat Sh!t just so you can say you picked the winner then be my guest. >>
Actually, you don't have to
eat it, only to deal with it for four years.
Also, if you go and vote for an independent ( "steak" ), you'll end up dealing with the same sh!t for four years! :|
Just because you vote for the steak doesn't mean you'll get it.
I agree that our political system, where Democrats and Republicans have all the power, sucks. It is completely corrupt, and hopefully through time we can "fix" it. But that time is not now... a Democrat or a Republican
will win this election.
So, to be a realist,
A VOTE FOR NADER WILL NOT LEAD TO HIM BECOMING PRESIDENT. Plain and simple. I am not saying that you shouldn't vote for Nader, or that you should vote for anyone at all. I am simply saying that a vote for any party besides democratic or republican is a wasted one, because either a democrat or republican WILL be our next president.
So, if you want to decide whether its Gore or Bush (And as I have said, it will be one of them), go and vote for one of them. If you go and vote for someone else, you really are doing nothing but playing with the buttons in the voting booth; your selection will not be our next president.
Finally, it really doesn't matter what anyone here or anyone else says, the most important thing is that you actually
GET OUT AND VOTE.
Even if you write yourself in, you are at least exercising your right to vote in our representative democracy.
Oh yeah,
BobberFett, let's try to keep this discussion one about the election and NOT about people other than candidates:

It's because people think like you that this country continues it's downhill slide. >>
To show the opposite of this statement, its dreamers like you that vote for candidates that have no chance of gaining office. In doing so, your vote doesn't truly count, so you eschew any blame for the condition of this country, and open the doors for yourself to blame other voters.
BTW, it cant be people like me that lead to this country's downhill slide... This will be my first time voting.
And what do you mean by downhill slide? I hope that you are not referring to our economy stabilizing from the overinflated prices of last year.
