If you don't vote kerry you are in effect voting for 4 more years of bush

Your canidate can't win

Now isn't the time

when you house is on yada yada yada


So in effect you claim its 2 choices, and anyone who doesn't agree with kerry automatically is an idiot, Of course its always the underdog. Liberals in Birmingham chastised martin luther king for going against the status quo for chang, good thing he was an iconoclast.

1. Huh?
If you mean a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. Well yeah. An idiot to vote Nader, no... I doubt most voters for Nader are idiots. Bu$h on the other hand, yes most of those voters are idiots.

2. If four more years of the neocons doesn't bother you
Then go ahead and vote socialist or green or whatever. If you can't tell the difference between Kerry and Bush, then go ahead and vote for a candidate that has zero chance of carrying a single state, let alone the country. I find it amazing that some voters are incapable of recognizing that sometimes compromise is necessary. Don't you think that getting half of what you want is better than getting none?

3. With (no) apologies to Bush, yes. The choice is between good and evil.
this is not a situation in which we can simply afford to wait out another four years based on 'gee, how much damage can he do?"
the answer is: he WILL do incalculable damage in four years, if indeed the planet makes it through another four years without being turned into a smoking cinder.


there are SO GODDAMN MANY reasons to get Bush out of office....look around you; ask anybody here and they'll give you dozens.

After eight years of Bush presidency (OK, 12 if you count Poppy) and Jeb getting ready to slink into the White House, the world will be unrecognizeable. It's not like the melted glaciers can be frozen back up with a little time after the Bushes are gone.

They have already done stupendous damage to our civil rights. Bush's Attorney General spend several THOUSAND dollars to cover up a fucking bare-breasted STATUE f'chrissakes!

Hell, one BREAST appeared on TV and they're using it to stifle all but the most willing sycophantic voices on the airwaves! A breast! a boob!
They're outraged!
But then, look at the lengths to which they were willing to go to keep something far more obscene out of public view --- photos of coffins bearing U.S. dead home for burial. Each one represents a life cut short and an extended family stricken with grief. How many more will there be?

The U.S. is no closer to securing democracy for Iraq than the day the first tanks headed into that country from Kuwait.

"Mission accomplished?" Hell, no. Bush's mission won't be accomplished until we are unalterably stuck in this QUAGMIRE, the environment is ruined, the rights of working people have been trampled into the dust and a huge majority of the nations on earth passionately hate us.

Bush MUST go.

4. More like Germany in the early '30's.
The Nazi's NEVER had a clear majority. It's just that thier opponents divided themselves into such small, unallied blocks, that the Nazi's were able to bully thier way into power.
If the Communists and Socialists and Moderates had allied in Germany, Hitler would never have been in power.
It CAN happen here.

The Democratic/Green/Socialists outnumber the Republicans. But if they vote seperately, the Republicans win. Again.

"We must hang together, or we will be hung seperately." - B. Franklin
