Ralph Nader might be a terrible politician but it's because he's honest. I mean if you really look at what he says about government, corporations, and the environment he isn't wrong. I mean look, Edwards copped his message and softened it up a bit and the Democrats loved him (until he cheated on his wife) politics is all about image because people in general are stupid.

The only thing he said, in regards to Obama's race, was that comment about whether he would be an Uncle Sam for the people or Uncle Tom to the corporations. I understood his point even if he was being politically incorrect.

I don't know what you're going on about with the me loving Bush comment. I've never supported the Iraq war (even though I was young when we invaded and even my middle school mind didn't really understand. Afghanistan I got I didn't understand how Iraq came into the figure but anyway) and I've never liked Bush.

As for the third party thing...I don't deny that alot of people cling to independents to look make it look like they're more aware and I also don't deny alot of third-party supporters are complete idiots (for instance the ones who use the Nader argument 'both parties are the same!' which isn't true in the slightest. Yes, to a socialist or fascist they may appear to be the same but were talking completely different ideologies there) but the same could be said for most major party voters. I have several friends who are liberal and two who are conservative and neither of them (except one liberal friend) can argue anything other than domestic and social issues like gay marriage and abortion and even then they just resort to talking points.
