Self-explanatory. I'm an anarchist myself, but I would rather have Kerry. He's trying to keep jobs in America, and he's worried more about our economy than fighting some freaking war.

Kerry, even though I can't vote. And now, here is a graph. <img src='http://www.alfrankenweb.com/bushratings.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Source: <a href='http://www.ofrankenfactor.com/' target='_blank'>The O'Franken Factor Blog</a>

Actully that's not unusual. You shoudl compare that against other priesedetns aprovoal ratings and most often it is sharp rises fallowed by steady declines. MY government book had the graphes of several priesedents and while none of them showed this to this extream you can see similar paterns in all of them since FDR. This does make me fearfull if Bush will try soemthign before the election to have a similar spike. As for who I am goign to vote for it's undecided. The choices are Kerry Whoever the Socialist canidate is Llewellyn Not vote I have to do reasearch first and right now all four have an equal chance of hapeniing. I am definatly goign to campaing for Llewellyn. Remmeber Democracy depends on an informed electorite.

The third party option is Nader, it's always Nader.

Assuming I lived in America and was old enough to vote, I choose Kerry. While I'd rather see a Social Democrat (or anyone of the center left for that matter) win, anyone but Bush will do.

The third party has always been Ross Perot. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /> <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' />

The thrid party has always been the Lib Dems. Oh wait, i'm thinking England. I'm not in America but as David wrote, if you want Bush out of the White House, you should vote for Kerry, or the candidate who'll have the best chance against Bush.

But the thing is I'm with the dleife that the Democrats are two conservitive. By suporting the socialist party in this reguard I help to move the Democratic party away form center to pick up my vote. That's they way third parties have functioned in Americna poltics. If third party suport is high enough the main party moves out form enter to undercut suport for them by acceptign soem oif it's platform. I have to decide weither my priority s gettign Bush out of office or making the Democrats more liberal.

Hehe, this political cartoon [courtesey of the Boston Herald] makes a triumphant return to prove a point!

If the liberal votes are split between two or three candidates, Bush will win even if he doesn't get the majority of votes.

That's why the democrats shoudl build a liberal base insteam of trying to be middle road! Taht's why the dems keep on getting swamped. They shoudl get an actuly leader and move left. Like Newt Gingrich did for the GOP.

But it's true. We're better off with Kerry, no matter how much of a douche he is.
