You know- they say a vote for Nader is throwing your vote away.
If that is true, then people who live in RED STATES are throwing their vote away if they vote for Obama.
the way the electoral college is set up- most states (about 40) are locked to vote "red" or "blue"
So.... about 10 states are going to decide this thing.
Whoever you vote for make the candidate EARN your.
If you want healthcare, a reduction in Military spending, peace in the middle east- then OBAMA HAS NOT EARNED YOUR VOTE.

The biggest point for voting for a 3rd party is seen in the election that Teddy Roosevelt won. He broke apart the Republican party and brought down many corrupted corporations(aka Trusts) and forced the repubs to adopt his policies during the following years in office. Now tell me 3rd parties don't mean a thing. He split apart the Republican party and no one called him a spoiler!

In reality voting for the two big parties is a wasted vote. Why do we have to choose between A) the socialsit party B) the corporatist party ??
Go Libertarian!

that's how many people voted for that candidate but for most of those people it's not their first choice...

I would never vote for your Zionist, AIPAC puppet, stooge called Obama. The same goes for McCain. I would never want to dirty my vote with those tools. Go ahead and vote for your good cop Obama. I'm sure the leadership in Israel will thank you for it. Especially since he's already been spouting their propaganda over war with Iran.

Why vote for Nader? He's spent most of his life working to improve the lives of all the American people.
Check out his platform at votenader(dot)org

If the candidate with 34% of the votes won and became president, 66% of the country would be against him. The more candidates you have the worse it gets. At least over half the country needs to support the winning candidate.

Im supporting Nader right now i agree with him more than the other two.
I was thinking about Baldwin also but im not sure about his party stances.
But they all agree on foreign policy number 1 issues for me. SO just pick a third party you agree with.
i think Nader is my guy this year.

The four pillars of the thrid party candidates;1. Balance the Federal Budget 2. Bring the troops home. 3. Protect civil liberties and support the constitution. 3. Investigate the Federal Reserve. Those are the reasons I will vote for a third party candidate..among other issues..just for starters.

one of the big problems of having a 3rd party in the executive office is, that it's extremely difficult to negotiate with legislature.
In MN, ventura had an extremely difficult time dealing with the house and senate, just because... well, they pretty much ganged up on him.
So if you really want 3rd parties running for pres, get some in the house first
and btw, nader is a joke... his party is just another name for socialist.

I am supporting Nader just because any candidate that paints happy days, is full of lies and so I dont trust them. Politicians need to be honest about world affairs and its going to suck long and hard in American and around the world for awhile. I am picking Nader because at least his crap level is less. ~Raven

Until they fully establish a third party, with a real platform & support, voting for a candidate that's not either Repub or Dem is pretty much throwing your vote away.
Yup, yup.

How about voting for 3rd party candidates in states where one of the 2 big parties are predicted to win by a landslide? Just as a way to show the US government that the system is screwed.

now is NOT the time for 3rd parties. while i believe challenging the system we have is admirable...this is the most impt election of our lifetimes, and a 3rd party will only take votes away from obama who will bring us,at least, a little closer to where we need to be. to get back "on the right road" we must first get out of the ditch!!!!!!

Nadar makes an interesting point about how we never accuse the Republicans of taking votes away from Democrats and vice versa. I do agree that we need to keep PALIN far away from the White House...but this 2 party system BS has got to stop. If not now, when?
