[This guy](http://www.outofthinair.homestead.com/NBSRParty.html) (I found him at [http://www.vote-smart.org](http://www.vote-smart.org) on the list of candidates.) If he’s not on my ballot, Nader. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Moe \* > \*\* > Nader voters, please, please, please, you are voting for Bush. It’s an ugly fact, but it’s true. So please reconsider. \*\* You are right. In fact. rasa, doll that she is, brought this to light in a recent [thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=44946) They did a study, and found… “Dr. Jeffrey Cook revealed the committee’s findings at a press conference. “We have indeed determined that a vote in support of Mr. Nader is akin to a vote in support of Mr. Bush,” he stated. The study also brought to light several other “vote for” scenarios. It was determined that a vote for Bush was essentially a vote for Gore, a vote for Gore was a vote for Nader, and a vote for Buchanan was a vote for whoever is the Communist Party’s candidate. A vote for the Communist Party was a write in vote for an incapacitated Henry Kissinger, while a write in vote for Kissinger was essentially a vote for a bio-engineered Nader-Bush hybrid. Voting for the Nader-Bush hybrid would basically result in a vote for an Al Gore-Katie Bush bastard zombie lovechild, and doing so would equal a majority vote in the Senate that would repeal the 22nd Amendment, which limits Presidents to two terms. “At that point we assume Mr. Clinton would enter the race,” said Cook.” I’m voting for Nader. If I couldn’t do that I’d vote for Bush. I also urge any Gore supporters to check out [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=45356) thread ---

The major party candidate who _doesn’t_ want creationism taught in public school. For those of you who don’t follow GD, that’d be Gore. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Moe\* > **Rasa lash by all means. But we both know it’s the truth.** So nice of you to tell me what I know, Moe. I guess I should suck up my principles and vote for Gore now so I don’t singlehandedly hand Bush the election. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-virtual-presidential-election/39975.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-virtual-presidential-election/39975.md?page=3)
