Ralph Nader is a communist.

Bush.
For me, it was lesser of two evils.
Gore was just perhaps the most dangerous man in politics. I would rather have had Clinton another 20 years than 1 month of Al Gore. Horrible candidate.
Bush was not inspiring, but I knew he would surround himself with competent people. He is not like Al; he understands he doesn't know everything.

I voted for Gore. An explanation
Nader: No chance, and while not a communist, too green for me.
Bush: Don't like the tax cut, think SDI is waste of money, don't like faith based iniatives, don't like enviromental policies. Plus he seemed a rather dim candidate.
Gore: Now, this ain't exactly FDR I'm voting for either. But generally, Gore seemed to me a continuation of the Clinton years without the scandal. However, as a candidate, he was weak. He beat himself.

Harry Browne (Libertarian). Sure I knew he wouldn't win, but I wasn't about to give my vote to any of the other clowns....

For the first time ever, I refused to vote for President. Hope this is but one time deal ...

Yes.
He's Not a liberal or a conservative, so therefore he must be.

I didn't vote, on account of the fact that I'm inelligble to do so, on account of me being foreign.
Hamlet, can you please avoid posting...and then 3 minutes later making a new post. Both of your comments could have been in one post.
Either edit it......or take you time posting to get all your ideas in. Thanks.
And that goes for everyone......

How can you say Ralph Nader is not a liberal? Vladmir Lenin seems moderate compared to Nader.
And do you know Nader's stances on nuclear weapons, and the economy? It's like he ripped a few pages out of the works of Marx to having his ideologies.
In case you didn't know, Nader was to dismantle all of the United States nuclear arsenal.
Talk about rolling out the red carpet for the Soviet Union.
And besides, Nader makes me think of "nadar" which means "to swim" in Spanish. I just don't like that.

Oh, dear, you missed my point horribly, didn't you?
Bush. The man has integrity. It's taking many people a long time to catch on to the possibility that maybe there *ARE* honest people willing to work in Washington. It just takes people like YOU to vote for those people. No wonder there's so much s*** in our government--because you keep rewarding those people for it with your votes.
And Bush is doing a great job diplomatically. Everyone says how incompetent he is--show me someone who could have done a better job bringing the world together against terrorism, or who could have handled the China situation better. Without selling secrets to China, of course.

Yeah, Bush has plenty of integrity all right. Just a few months ago he appointed both Antonin Scalia's daughter and William Rehnquist's daughter to high-ranking federal government positions. Talk about paying back a favor...
Oh, tetley, how blind you are.
As for Nader, actually he ran for the Green Party, which is not Communist at all.
Pinkygen - you hit the nail on the head with your comments about the candidates. Like you, I voted for Gore, but I think I will be turning towards the Green Party / Socialist Party in future years. The Democrats are really failing to set themselves apart the Republicans, which is sad.

Although I liked Buchanan the best, I voted for Gore. I did that because I thought that a vote for a candidate outside the (fu*ked to hell) two party system would be a wasted vote, and I didn't want to see GWB get in. I basically picked what I thought to be the lesser of two evils (to no avail, I might add). IMO the American voters should never have been forced into such a sh1ty set of options. And I doubt that I will ever vote for a Democrat or Republican presidential candidate again. My next vote goes to the candidate who puts party reform & border control in as HIS highest priorities.

I voted for none of the boring US candidates since I am not a USA-person!
Anyhow for the sake of it I would have voted for Dubya since he is an amusing guy!
(I suppose we can laugh since he ain't making the rules in the UK!)
PS
The Thanks-giving turkey pic that was in the UK press was a riot!
The gobbler attacked the Commander-in-Chief by pecking his
midriff!
That turkey is a enemy of the USA, waste it!
Hope our US pals had a cool Thanx giving, as well!
