I don't care who you vote for, your vote still counts, I personally don't want either candidate to win, Bush is a complete moron, with no leadership skills, and while Gore wouldn't have been a bad choice, his choice of Leiberman for VP killed my vote for him right there, Leiberman likes the idea of censorship alittle too much. Therefor i'm voting for Nader, i don't care if there's no chance of him winning, but atleast i'm not casting my vote for the two worst choices for president in my entire life.

what you should do is vote for the candidate who has a chance fo winning who's views most closely go with yours. take the vote test at govote.com, and it lists your similarities with the diff candidates, it said i was a liberal libertarian, and fit me with harry browne. now if i could vote, i wouldnt vote for harry browne, because id be throwing away my vote. id vote for gore, because he has a chance of winning, and i like him better than lieberman.for all of you who dont know, the VP has almost no real power. the VP is sort of used as a balancing act (i did a short report on this) for example, if people had decided that gore was too conservative (i know hes nto, but follow me here) he would have chosen a much more liberal candidate. however, in order to get the swing votes, he has chosen lieberman for 3 reasons. 1, because it helps him to distance himself from clinton's sex scandals. 2, because he is so much more conservative, he will draw in more moderate voters. 3, because he is jewish, that will attract a lot of votes. the same can be seen with Bush's choice of a candidate. at the time of bush choosing cheney, he was far ahead in the polls, and didnt need a boost, so he decided to go with someone who wouldnt be a burden on him when he got in the white house. cheney is a pretty middle kinda guy, i mean just hearing the name cheney doesnt really bring out anything besides teh idea "running mate". this can be seen back in the 96 election too, dole was losing, so he got kemp to be his running mate, and even though they didnt really like each other, it helped them in the polls, and so it was basically a detail to be worked out later. the point is choosing a candidate based on a running mate is not a good idea. also, dont throw your vote away, instead use it to strategically get things you want.

But you see, i'm not throwing my vote away, i'm using it to show how i feel about the candidates, and besides, leibermann has already gotten enough media attention about how he wants to save the children. I don't want him deciding a deadlock censorship bill in congress because he will vote for it. And besides if something happens to gore, i don't want leibermann in office.

(computer, engage rant protocol)
*affirmative, rant protocol now active*Bandwagon riders... VOTING FOR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!! Sorry for shouting. I'm voting Nader, because support of third party candidated will allow their voices to be heard. If a third party manages to get a significant voting chunk in any state, or in the unlikely event that they carry a state, the political system will seriously consider them. A vote for Nader is not a vote for Bush, a vote for Bush is a vote for Bush! I'll say this right now, Gore will win. Michael Moore stated that America is not stupid enough to let Bush win, and I agree. Of course, those with wavering faith in the intelligence of the average American will be scared of the possibility of a Bush victory. "Oh no! If Bush wins, Roe v. Wade is history!" Bush may say he's so super pro-life, but if he overturns Roe v. Wade, he's gone. He will not be re-elected, and whomever replaces him will most probably run their campaign on the fundamental basis of reinstating Roe v. Wade. Outlawing abortion is political suicide. He's DONE if he goes ahead and does that. Okay, now that I have quelled your Bush fears, I will badmouth Gore for a bit. First off HE'S TIPPER GORE'S FUCKING HUSBAND!!!!!!!!! Sorry again for shouting, but if Tipper has any influence on the president at all, expect to see more warning labels on pretty much everything. Movies, video games, hell, she may even go for BOOKS! If Tipper has the balls of the most powerful man in our country in a salad shooter (so to speak) the country will be sticky with warning label residue. Second, Gore is the bitch of big compaines. (note: Bush is also the corporations' bitch) He will fuck over America, because the ones who got him elected are the stupid people who saw his commercials. Who paid for them? Corporations. Who does Gore owe big time? Corporations. Nader will not kiss ass to corporations. He is running his campaign on donations by individuals alone. He has no debts to big business. This, in my eyes, makes him a much more valid candidate that the "real" candidates, Bush and Gore. In conclusion, fuck Bush, fuck Gore, especially fuck Tipper, and GO GREEN!
