If you most agree with their views, vote for them.  If they get enough votes, they will get exposure.  With exposure comes more campaign contributions.  With more contributions comes a better campaign.  With a better campaign comes a greater chance at becoming a serious politcal party.  Or I guess we could all just vote for one of two parties that cannot realistically get all the issues out there in the right importance to your particular belief.

A little over 500 actually. And Nader got over 90,000 votes in Florida. Lotsa votes that would have gone to Gore. Damn the luck.

People vote for Nader because they would never vote Repub and there was no Demo worth voting for.

I think it's funny he's screwing with the Demos again. He's trying to get them to straighten up and he will continue to run till they do. Making it harder for them to win.

Nothing wrong with Nader running for President, just like there was nothing wrong with Perot way back in 1992.

If the Democratic or Republican candidates are not attractive enough in the eyes of the voters, then that's their fault, not the fault of the third party candidates.

That's why they call this a democracy. Competition.....it's a good thing.

Its all good.  

The thing that bothered me is that Nader said he would drop out of the race if it looked like Bush was going to win.  That makes me wonder if he has any smarts at all and sure as hell wouldnt make me consider him seriously to begin with.

Im thinking nader = dork

nader has allways been dishonest.   He got famous for attacking the Corvair.... a car GM was not doing to well with...  Nader wrote "unsafe at any speed"   He had never driven the corvair or any other car as he didn't and doesn't know how to drive...

the corvair was and is a good handling car.   in the testing nader did he could not get one corvair to roll over but his drivers got 8 of the volkswagens to roll over.   In order to get a picture of an upside down corvair one of the drivers had to hit a trench sideways.    Anyone who ever drove a volkswagen and a corvair back then knew what was up.  Volksies rolled in a high wind on the freeway.   He tested then side by side with the corvairs but didn't even mention it in the book.   Corvairs were winnin autocross races before and while the book was coming out.

Vote for Nader... we'd all look good in green (Kemp aka cannabis) pants!

The kind of pants that are good for the environment and fun to share with a neighbor. No washing with poluting detergents. When they get dirty..just smok them.

And after 4 years of the Nad-eeee-ator, we'll no longer take the Democrats and Republicans for granted. We'll be begging them to come back.

But you know, Nader is right about one thing. There is no distinction between the Democrats and Republicans these days.

Heck with Kerry's voting record, I'd swear he's a Republican.

I wonder if Bush will accept a debate with Nader there.. Kerry still has to appeal to centrists so he will be tame. Nader will be like haveing Noem Cholmsky there..I doubt Bush will accept or the format will be like reading a script.

Kerry wasn't picked to appeal to centrists. Unlikely he'll be pulling the wool over very many eyes.
