Reply #6: Uncomfortable with one aspect...

[Almost_there]

The one aspect of the "we're ready to go to war" aspect of this is that if we suppress people like Nadar, what is the impetus for change in the future? We do live in a democracy, and having a viable third candidate is something that isn't new. Hell, ol' big eared Perot got 20% of the vote when he ran, and I think that suppressing anyone in this aspect is wrong.

Sure, asking him not to run since he will surely take away from Kerry is fine, but, acting like the rethugs and "going to war" ESPECIALLY if this is a legal route he's taken (he needed 25,000 to get on, and if he has 45,000, I see virtually no way to knock out 20,000 signatures), then let the best candidate win. I think Kerry will do fine in PA, hell, even if Nader gets 3%, all Kerry needs is 48.6% and we're fine.

I believe more than just two voices sometimes need to be heard, and while I am A)Not from a swing state, and B)Would not vote for Nader, I abhor trying to get him kicked out through heavy handed tactics.
