Why do people think that a Nader voter would vote for Kerry? |
|
I've have met enough Nader voters to be convinced that they would either write in Nader or stay home. Whenever I argue with them, they say, "I'm sorry, it's a matter of principle". Is it a myth that Nader takes votes from Kerry? So much of his support has fallen away this year that I think the only people left are die-hard idealogues, and you ain't gonna move 'em.

5. For the life of me I can't understand why people would want someone |
|
who has zero experience in government in the White House...especially one who claims to be for workers and blocks the union in his own business and claims to be for a living wage but didn't pay one.

9. please don't flame me!! |

But, these people have the right to vote for whomever they want. I'm not happy about it, but it is their right.
Our job is to help elect our candidate. Complaining about Nader will do nothing, unless we talk to people who might change their vote to Kerry. Otherwise, I think it is energy wasted.

10. Because the right to vote is more important than their idealogies. |

11. Diebold Republican Electing Machinez Will Vote for Nader |
|
even though the person using the machine may think he is voting for Kerry.
Expect Nader to poll especially well in liberal areas with new DRE voting machinez.

15. The Nader supporters in CA say they would vote for Kerry elsewhere |
|
The odd part is that Nader is only on the ballot elsewhere.

18. There will be a good number of disenchanted Republicans who |
|
will be voting for Nader in protest of this administration. Nader may end up helping Kerry instead of the coWard. Regardless, Nader is a scumbag.

19. Environment, health care, jobs |
|
If they truly gave a shit about helping people, they'd vote Kerry. Some people are either so stubborn or so enamored with being anarchists, that they won't listen. It's too bad. John Kerry is ten times the man and done ten times more for liberal causes than Ralph Nader ever hoped to.
