man...i want to get down to the truth.... whats happening to people...

i'm 19 and could vote for a while but i never quite trusted the media or especially conservatives... . now i dont know much about politics so votes from people like me could mess things up. and 3rd party seems not to be....full of shit.

is there any way i can watch 3rd party media online?

[bisherashisher]

there is an online petition urging ralph nader to run for senate this year urge your friends and family to sign it

[bisherashisher]

you seem to support third parties there is an online petition urging ralph nader to run for senate please urge your friends and others to sign it

[spmandmtgr]

disagree with him on the popular vote thing I think the way its is now forget what its called its late here is way better besaces if we did it the popular way then only the BIG BIG BIG Elate states would win like new york or California and other states would be left out of the vote like texas Follada Mississippi north Callean and other states..

[Dannynelsonstinks]

Let me answer this quickly.

No.

[votePEACEvoteNADER]

Instant Runoff Voting.

Proportional representation.

Sell our prime time TV and radio airwaves to finance true public programming - PBS is corporately underwritten.

2000 citizens in each congressional district watching and instructing our elected representatives.

Imagine the effect.

yes Nader was better than Gore, and yes Gore blew it on his own. yes Nader is still the best candidate for reform. But to say that republicans and Democrats are identical is absurd. Yes they are both evil, but at least there is a lesser of the two evils. Do not let the Republicans snatch another four years.

[milkythebrownkow]

people like to say that ralph nader is the reason that gore lost (electorally anyway) in 2000. Stop passing the blame - al gore is the reason al gore lost. was he better than bush? sure. but apparently a lot of people thought nader was better than gore. if gore really cared about their vote, he would have adopted a more green, anti-war, anti-nuke, straightforward agenda that the nader supporters could dig. if bush ran agaisnt mccain, who would you vote for? i'd vote nader.

Yes there are. These are the people who think Sarah Palin is too liberal, attend their neighborhood Klan rallies and know nothing beyond a fourth grade education.

Ralph Nader has run for president every four years since the American Revolution. There is only one American hero...

[cohsMovieCritic]

A third party cantidate will never win until there is a strong fourth party on the right.

[morebriceno]

You guys are so brainwashed. Just like human cattle. Any of the third party candidates would do a better job than the corporate puppets currently running for the major parties. You know government is not the enemy. Corporations and their free market big government crap. We do need more competition that includes more political parties.

[cohsMovieCritic]

Third party cantidates do make a difference. They take votes away from Democrats. I love ya' Matt but you're on the wrong team. This election is far too important. We cannot afford for more years of a Republican President.

[jbone1122]

bullshit! "this election is far too important"-that is said every 4 years. If this election isn't the right time, and 2004 wasn't the right time, and 2000 wasn't the right time, when will the right time be?

Oh and third-party candidates don't just take votes away from democrats. You think any democrat is going to vote for Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin?

[greyface01]

Nader is for bigger government, i belive the 3rd parties were hijacked by the system this time around, except for Ron Paul, which is on his own right now, without a party, just a legion of freedom loving people the want America to start using the constitution again!

[greyface01]

the system is wrong, I believe Ron Paul is the only one with true good intentions. Bab barr is a former CIA agent, and sometimes 3rd parties can be used to split up groups and make them weak, Bob Barr would have extensive knowledge on how to do this from COINTELPRO. (counter-intelligence program).

[copana2002]

The more I see of Matt Gonzalez the more I am impressed with his intelligence and reason.

[duskwalker2]

I think Nader has picked the most capable successor to his mantle that he can find.

[HarryNRubin]

this is good. though i disagree with him and ralph nader on the issues, they are very intelligent and know that no matter what others say, and no matter how bad the odds are against them of winning, if they believe the system is wrong and they believe the people need a better choice than what they are given, that is something worth fighting for. the libertarian party has also been influential in presidential elections, starting in the 1970s and beyond. bob barr 08.
