Great site for the group

[Guest guest]

I have a wonderful site for everyone, no matter your political views.

http://www.vote-smart.org What I really liked about this site is that it can

show even your local town candidates and it only lists facts. Great way to get

to know your candidate by his/her information without a bias spin on it. RMS

I LOVE Dennis Kucinich but this just isn't going to work. He is

losing the primaries. It's not his fault, it's just that people are

well, dumb. They don't focus on the politician's positions, they

focus on how the candidate looks (Dennis is short and he's got bad

hair), his military record (Kerry is a veteran), what the media has

to say about him (the media has never taken Dennis seriously, the

same way they trash Nader), or simply how other people are voting (no

one likes voting for a " loser " or " throwing their vote away " ). The

green party will get maybe 4% of the vote; Assuming Kucinich gets

their votes, how is that going to beat Bush?

 

Kerry is the lesser of two evils, the same way Gore was. By actually

encouraging people to refuse to vote for Kerry all you do is help

Bush. I don't agree with all of Democrats claims that Nader " stole "

Florida from Gore. The Supreme court did. If anyone is to blame it

is all for Gore's loss how about the 50% of Americans who didn't even

vote. These people don't even vote because they're convinced their

vote " doesn't count " (and sure they Could be right); I have a friend

or two who actually thinks they're making some sort of political

statement by not voting. " If you vote, you're just giving legitmacy

to the system " . But the fact is, politicians don't care if you and a

few of your Green buddies don't vote. As long as their candidate

wins, they would be happy if three people voted. So I'm just not

seeing the point. If Kucinich can't even win his own state (like

Dean did) how could he win the country?
