65. Yes we do.

Greens want peace.
Dems want war without Bush.
GOP wants war with Bush.

Our best argument is that Bush is evil, that Kerry is better.
The Green best argument is that they are right on the issues, and that Kerry has supported Bush at every turn.
The GOP's best argument is that the Greens are nuts, and that Kerry supported everything that Bush did, so why not stick with Bush?

Which argument is strongest? Even Nader concedes that if "all you care about is removing Bush from office, than you should be voting for Kerry."


I do not subscribe to your assertions at all.

Greens want peace? Are they the only ones? Last I heard Nader wasn't even a green and he owned stock in Haliburton.

Dems don't want war, they want the same end Ralph Nader does. He suggests we pull out carefully with the help of the international community. His position almost EXACTLY mirrors Kerrys. The only difference is he claims it does not.

As for what the Greens stand for, I'll leave you with this quote from Gloria Steinem:

"He was able to take all those perfect progressive positions of the past because he never had to build an electoral coalition, earn a majority vote, or otherwise submit to democracy."~ Gloria Steinem on Ralph Nader

Regarding Naders quote: "If *all* you care about is removing Bush from office...."

How generous of Mr. Nader to give me the two choices below:

Care about only one issue - removing Bush and that's it
or...
Care about all the problems facing humanity today

:eyes:

F-U Nader is all I have to say to that! I am not a "Nader hater," but believe me I'm getting there.

Perhaps he should take his one man show around the globe and see what the people of the mid-east think of his superioriority complex?
