I know politics is a real touchy subject so I'll try to walk on eggs here. I voted for Nader in 2004 based on principals, but I've learned a lot since turning 18 and having my first time to vote. I no longer an independent, but rather a Republican, but I still respect Nader. You can't say somebody shouldn't run because they'll take votes from another person. In many cases, if Nader didn't run, many people such as I wouldn't have voted at all....so you're only assuming that votes were "taken" rather than earned. I would not have voted for Bush or Kerry if ther were the only choices. However, I do respect Bush, just not all his decisions...but nobody'* perfect.

Perot is the only independent that ever had a chance.
Nader has good ideas, but doesn't actually run to win, and loses all my respect for that reason.
Those that voted for Nader instead of Gore last time around did so because they preferred one over the other.
Nader didn't spoil any fight.

dont get me wrong, I'm about as patriotic as they come. still waiting on my orders to deploy, but i cant vote for the lesser of two evils, it still an evil.
