15. What would you have me do, vote for Nader?
Edited on Sat Mar-08-08 04:49 PM by Herdin_Cats
P.S. I might vote for a truly progressive third-party candidate in the GE, but not if Nader is the only choice. I think he needs to retire before his legacy is reduced to something similar to Lyndon LaRouche's. But if someone like Cynthia McKinney were an option, I'd consider voting for her. It's not like my vote for a third-party candidate would help the Republicans. My state's electoral votes will go to the Repubs no matter what.

It's just that in this Obama-Clinton fight, Obama is my choice. It's not so much that I'm for Obama, as that I'm against Clinton. The reason for the avatar is that I'm sick and tired of being accused of being a woman-hater for being against Clinton. I am a woman. And I'm a feminist of the variety that pisses people off on a regular basis. But I hate Clintonian politics. Bill Clinton was a Reaganite and set the stage for Bush. Hillary and Bill share the same ideologies. I guess with Obama, I'm choosing the evil I don't know, than the heinous evil I do know.
