I agree.

I wouldn't vote for Nader and I don't agree with his position on most issues - MOST, but NOT all issues. But he is inherently a decent man and deserves as much consideration as "Lurch" and "Pretty Boy" do. He is certainly far more sincere in his beliefs than either of those two opportunists and he does have America's best interest at heart, again, unlike the crypto-commies in the Democratic Party.

I jsut hope he siphons off enough votes from decent Democrats to help Bush and hurt Kerry.

Besides, although I am a Republican, I resent the high-handed tactics of both political parties in keeping other political parties from the public view and serious consideration in elections. Who knows, there may actually be a nascent party out there with the courage of conservative convictions which can replace the vacillating boobs in Republican Party with an effective alternative to the Democrats.

The government doesn't belong to the Democrats and Republicans, although they would like the nation to believe it does.

The White House has been won by a third party candidate once before - only once. The candidate was Abraham Lincoln, and the party was of course the Republican party. I heard Alan Keys speak recently about our present system of Presidential debates. He made a persuasive case in favor of third parties. Did you know, for example, that the topics of the televised Presidential debates are predetermined and agreed upon by both candidates?

Nader's heart is indeed in the right place. However, as I often point out to the Liberals, it's not enough to just want to help. One can easy unleash disaster while having the sincere intention of making improvements. It's better to do nothing than to do something stupid. Nader would go about attacking the incentives (private sector profits) that have led men in America to bring light, flight, and might to the world. Now THAT'S stupid.
