my vote is gonna go to one ms. cynthia mckinney this november. i don't agree with that bullshit that a vote for a third-party candidate is a waste. to me, the only wasted votes are the ones that aren't cast. i think the point of an election should be to vote for the person that most closely represents your ideals. i mean, what the fuck, i can walk

wow, you're still alive? Where the heck have you been?!?!

just out of curiousity, why would you vote for cynthia mckinney and not ralph nader? i'm a nader support. i really like cynthia mckinney though. just out of curiousity...

you know, it's not that i don't agree with ralph nader's politics, because i do. but to me, the thing that has always rubbed me wrong about ralph nader (at least as a presidential candidate) is that i've never felt that he runs because he genuinely WANTS to be president, but rather because he wants to shake up the system (which is something it needs - don't get me wrong). that's the vibe i get from him, anyhow

Well, I totally think that you should vote your conscience. I think that the media has made a point of making ralph nader look bad. they've mostly ignored cynthia mckinney sadly. if you look at the stories they run about nader and his trying to get coverage they actually covered animal stories more than they did nader. and that was the point he was trying to make! how terribly demeaning. i think he's made out to be someone who is just trying to swing the vote... which while it's true he's trying to change the system and maybe that is part of it... i think after running this many times he has a better idea of what it's going to take to get there. he has alot of experience as a citizen activist and if it weren't for him we probably wouldnt have seat belts, osha, you know basic safety standards
