| I saw Michael Moore on Jay Leno last night and I heard him talking about Ralph Nader. Basically he doesn't want him to run. You know it just ticks me off. He is an American citizen and he has EVERY RIGHT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
I hate how Democrats get angry that he is running because he is "taking votes away."
Um, no. Maybe he is WINNING VOTES. Maybe people are just pissed off with both the Republican and Democrats and are looking for another alternative. If I don't like what George Bush has to say, why should I just automatically vote for John Kerry. What if I don't like what HE has to say either?
The way Moore said it, you'd think anyone who is voting for Nader is an idiot. That's the nice thing about democracy though, you can vote for WHO YOU WANT. He acts like it's a life or death issue between Kerry and Bush.
If there was a third party candidate "taking votes" away from Bush, I would say RIGHT ON! It's called freaking democracy and I think the more candidates the better! |
