Why is it so hard for an independent to run for President?

They say you can't win if you don't play.

But they don't say much about whether you should play if you can't win.

Perhaps not.

Did Perot win the election for Clinton? Good ol' Perot. I think Bush wishes he had the charm of Perot and a spoiler with as much popularity. Last time it almost worked. More likely he and Nader will wind up with the popularity of Perot.

My question for you clube, is what kind of rare idiot will vote for Nader?

Not to say that I am going to vote for Nader, but I do not like Kerry and I hate Bush. I find it kind of silly, to vote for someone I dislike because I hate the other candidate more. It is time for more options, thats all. Our 2 party system has to go. BTW who are you to crticisze anyone who votes for Nader? What kind of democratic american are you?

Well, while I may criticize Nader himself, I wouldn't dream of telling someone not to vote for whoever they pleased.

I agree that the 2 party system needs challenging... but I seriously doubt that will happen if we continue going the same direction that we are going now. This leads me to 'pick my battles,' and concentrate more on the rise of the alternatives in the years to come.

Which I hate to say! Seems like we're always saying that. I dunno I'll work on it next year.

And welcome to A2K.
