My plea to those DUers who plan on supporting Nader.....

[Cascadian]

or any other third party candidate for the White House.

Don't. Please just don't. Vote for Kerry.


I know that John Kerry is not perfect and I know he is not my first choice but we have got to bring some half-way insanity back to the White House. Any person who says to "forget history we are all going to be dead" does not deserve to be even be elected dog-catcher. At least Kerry will bring some intelligence back to the White House as opposed to the redneck-wannabe we have now. There is a difference between Bush and Kerry. For example...


Abortion: Bush: Wants to outlaw all abortions. Kerry: Supports keeping abortions safe and legal.

Ecomony: Bush: Against raising the minimum wage and wants to privatize Social Security. Kerry: For raising the minimum wage and against privatizeing Social Security.

Enivornment: Bush: For oil drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge and against manditory standards for clean air emissions. Kerry: Against drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge and for clean air emission standards.

Equal Rights: Bush: Wants an amendment to ban gay marriage. Kerry: Against an amendment ban on gay marriages.

These are just a few examples of what I am talking about. You support a third party candidate and you are basically throwing away your vote and playing with your own future. If you think you will change America by supporting Nader or whoever, you may not like the change very much.

Don't get me wrong. I am all for a multiparty system and I believe it is important that people have greater choices but right now. I have said many times and I will say it again. This is not the time. Please use your conscience when you vote. Do the right thing.

Skinner says he wants those posts deleted, but apparently the mods don't do it, because I've alerted.

2. I hope this has an impact on some on some of them.

Frankly I just don't understand the Nader Supporters.
This is a decent, respectful plea.
Thanks for posting it.

3. Good post

4. Why not?

Go right ahead. I will even send a link to you to send as well. It only scratches the surface of what differences there are but it should drive home the message....

I don't believe it! DUers know better than that.
