I consider myself a small "L" libertarian who doesn't want to waste his vote in such a close election. so i'm going with Bush, however if it looked like it wasn't such a close election i think i'd have to vote for nader. Why? because i can only hope that his party gets their "= billing" in the next election and is able to split the vote of the democrats in two for a couple years, giving the republications a greater majority than they have, so if you like what nader has to say AT ALL, please vote for him. (my first post on/. ever, although i've read it nearly every day for 2 years.)
As a woman, I CANNOT/WILL NOT vote for George Bush. NO ONE but myself has the right to tell me what I can/cannot do with my body, especially not an aging male politician. George Bush is anti-abortion, even if the female's life is in danger. Yet, he won't allow insurance companies to pay for birth control! Does anyone else see a problem here? And please don't give me the "taking a human life" story, George Bush has done it the most out of any Texas Governor in History!!!!
I'm sorry, but as a female, my right to vote is important to me, it was a long struggle by women in this country (*ahem* Eleanor Roosevelt) and I will vote for who I damn well please.
I plan to vote for Ralph Nader, and I know it won't be a vote wasted, I will do this with a clear conscience. If this helps the Greens get equal billing in the 2004 election, then I will do my part. I'm not going to allow you or anybody else tell me who I should and should not vote for. I refuse to vote for the 2 main candidates and the way the 2 political party system is now would make George Washington turn in his grave. Why you ask? In his farewell speach as president he asked the nation to not form political parties, that it would be bad for democracy. And what ended up happening and is no longer effective?
Mr. Bush, why are you so adamantly against abortions, yet are also against insurance companies covering the birth control pill? Isn't this defeating the solution?
Nader, Gore and Bush went to a fitness spa for some fun (if you can believe that Nader ever has fun) and relaxation (if you believe Gore ever relaxes).
After a healthy lunch, all three decided to visit the men's room and there they found a strange-looking gent sitting at the entrance who said, "Welcome to the gentleman's room. Be sure to check out our latest feature: a mirror that, if you look into it and say something truthful, will reward you with a wish. But be warned - if you say something false, you'll be sucked into the mirror to live in a void of nothingness for all eternity."
They entered, and on finding the mirror Nader said, "I think I'm the most truthful of us three." In an instant he was surrounded by a pile of money, which one supposes he invested in tech stocks.
Gore stepped up and said, "I think I'm the most ambitious of us three." He suddenly found the keys to a new Lexus in his hand, and this made him happy because it was a much better looking vehicle than the official Vice President's car.
Excited over the possibility of having a wish come true, Bush looked in the mirror and said, "I think..." - and was promptly sucked into the void.

What about tobacco? They make so much money it's insane and use the profits to lobby, all the while killing 1200 people a day....
That seems like a much bigger problem to me....
I agree, parents need to be more responsible for the lives they start.

Shame on you Hemos!
Because you suggested voting republican, a no-no on slashdot, it's the mods ways of supressing different ideas, I don't agree with it either
