nicmarlo: If you're undecided about voting for Bush, then it's a vote for the democrats...obviously, no third party will win. So no vote for Bush IS a vote for the Rats.

carpio: Nothing like a good open exchange of ideas. I just love the "If you don't vote for Bush you are a traitor to the country" Bunch. Their idea of a brisk intellectual exchange is to beat someone with a Barrel Stave if they catch them having an unorthodox (to them) idea.

Happygal: I have a real problem with this post.....don't ever suggest that a person should be brow beaten into voting for the two front runners in a five horse race.

You replies border hysterics. What I stated is nothing but facts and the reality. What third party has ever won the presidency in your lives? What third party candidate has any likelihood of winning this race? Given the facts and that reality, there will be a winner from the Rats (let's say it's Kerry) or Bush. A vote to any other person will dwindle the number of votes for one of those two people.

I want to make sure Kerry doesn't win. And just because I don't agree with EVERYTHING Bush has done, he's still better for this country than a socialist who's the leader of a socialist party. Voting against Bush has the same effect as voting socialist. And THAT's the reality of the outcome.

So the Pill Popper Program is not a socialist program? So the Farm Aid, and the Federalization of the public school system is not socialism? So the destruction of our borders, language, and culture is not a socialist scheme? I strongly recommend you read the Socialist/Humanist/Communist Manifestos (pick one, any one) and tell me where George Bush differs. Voting for George Bush again is an act of permanently converting the GOP into a socialist party. For if hard-core socialists like George Bush can win a second term by so-called conservative who fear the BogieMan in the closet, then what motivation is there in running a conservative or even a moderate? Bush make Clinton look like a conservative (albeit a pervert).

Not necessarily, unless you actually believe that there are zero people who would not vote under any circumstances for either of the two front runners.

If you accept that there are voters who won't vote for one of those two candidates, than if those people vote for "any other person", they're certainly not dwindling the number of votes for either of the front runners.
