Guys, I think it's high time you consider voting for your principles. You know that Barack Hussein Obama is too moderate, too centrist, perhaps even right-wing, for many of you to stomach. You really don't want to vote for a guy who is the overwhelming leader in raising dirty corporate money, do you? He's really a Republican deep down, and all that Socialist rhetoric is his attempt to fool you into voting for him. But I have a solution. I have a ticket you can vote for with a clean conscience. You really have an obligation to send a clear message to Barack Obama and vote for:

Ralph Nader for President in 2008! Now qualified in 45 of 50 states!

Oh, and did you know McCain's middle name "Sidney"?

Good God, what American in their right mind could actually vote for a guy with the middle name of SIDNEY?

Wake up republicans!

Now, here's an interesting sign of Republican desperation: start campaigning for Nader in an effort to split the liberal vote.

I think Bob Barr (in Georgia) and Ron Paul (in Montana) could actually have a measurable impact on this race. Both states will probably go to McCain in the end anyway, but those third-party candidates could draw enough support to make it close.

Wait...is Ron Paul going to be on the ballot, or do you mean write-in votes?
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

Fl 2000, Nader received 96,837 votes. Had Nader not been on the ballot, a vast majority of those votes would have gone to Algore. It would be a cold day in hell before Nader voters would vote for anyone right of center. It's debatable what percentage of Perot voters would have gone to GHWB in 1992
45/47
