Poll question: Supporters of third parties who are members of the DU (participate pls):
Please select that answer which you most support, no coercion, please keep quiet and try to avoid convincing others of what you view as the proper response. One example of a third party candidate is Ralph Nader.

2. The third party would have to be progressive
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 02:01 AM by jpgray
For example, if you wanted to shill for Pat Buchanan or somesuch I doubt the mods would be your friends, but for Nader, Cobb or someone similar I don't see any problem there.

edit: NOTE--Many people will disagree with you, but that isn't the same as you not being allowed to express your view. If they break the rules in disagreeing, hit alert.

4. I never got the enthusiasm for that beyond it being a media ploy
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 02:04 AM by jpgray
Even folks such as Jon Stewart expressed so much interest in McCain--it was weird. The reality of that ticket would be a nightmare.

5. Hell Yes!!! If I believe in anything ....I believe in freedom of speech
I'm afraid SOME here just want to "sing in the choir"...and anybody that doesn't is an asshole,freeper,troll,etc....
I love freedom of speech.....might be the only thing I'd volunteer to die for.
