Nader: Unsafe on Any Ballot

Nader is a spoiler again in NM and other states where he’s on the ballot. Voting for Nader is REALLY throwing your vote away. If you want to make a difference or cast a protest vote, you SHOULD HAVE VOTED KERRY!
Vote Nader? :smack: :smack: :smack:
What were you thinking?

What? You didn’t like my vote for Chandler Bing?

And I don’t like the fact that I quoted him in the first response… :smack:

Now that the Red Sox have won, the only guy with an 86 year losing streak is Nader.

Pardon a stupid forriner, but what are you talking about?
From C-Span
Bush 335,311
Kerry m 323,691
Nader 3,574
Badnarik 2,130
Cobb 1,093
Peroutka 691

Even if Kerry had had all the Nader votes he still wouldn’t have won in NM. Looking through the results for all states it seems that the Nader votes didn’t affect the outcome anywhere.

Nah, he’s not a spoiler in NM. He only got 3500 votes there, the gap was 12,000.

I seriously don’t understand who the fuck would vote for Nader this time around, after the stuff he’s said on CNN. If you’re gonna vote for a third party or an independent, at least vote for one that stands for something, that’s not just running on hatred and stubborness alone. Nader’s totally off his rocker.

And I did vote for the guy once.

That’s funny.

Seriously, I don’t think we can blame Nader. The American people were snowed. Plain and simple.

Now my son will have an enormous debt to pay off, shit for an education, and no job.

Anyone know how to immigrate to New Zealand?

Why not vote for Nader? He was the only Democrat on the ticket anyway.

Yeah. Get on a fucking boat.

Those are my fears and concerns. And New Zealand is my hyperbole.

I predict really bad things for the future of my country. On the bright side, however, I don’t think any of my predictions has ever been remotely correct.

Sort of a reverse Cassandra Complex: I have absolutely no ability to predict the future, and (luckily) no body beleives me.

It is the right of every voting citizen to chose whom ever they wish. Even if their candidate has no chance of winning. Hopefully, if there is ever enough votes for the third, forth, etc… partys, they’ll actually have a good chance in 20 years.

He’s losing it.
I heard him on C-span earlier and he said something like “The sun is the earths mother” and then I turned it off.
So, really, he did say that.

No matter how nice it might seem, I don’t think the Democrats can blame this one on Nadar with any chance whatsoever of having it believed. Barring future revelations, fraud and confusing ballots can be ruled out too. The people have spoken, and they said loudly, clearly, and unequiviobly “We hate gay!”

In a very real way, he’s right. The sun is the coalescence of the central mass of a spiral of hydrogen. It’s gravity helped to form the earth.

Yes, look at all the third parties that have had political success and are now players in our national game: the Bullmoose Party, the Dixiecrats, the Reform Party. Where would our politics be if it weren’t for their presence in the national debate?

Oh, wait, they all faded into obscurity. Why? Because our system does not permit third parties. It was designed with that very purpose in mind. Voting for a third party will not help the party now, and it will not do so in the future.

Without women’s sufferage and slavery abolition, for starters.

Yeah, you’re right. A vote for anything other than a Whig or Tory is a wasted vote.

Hell, if Kerry had won all the votes for anybody-not-W, he still would have lost NM.

:smiley: They said, “We hate that guy who attacked our country…Saddam - no, wait…it’s on the tip of my tongue…”
