I don't mean to offend anyone out there, so please forgive me. But I have to say this. Ralph Nader would make a horrible president! And he has absolutely no chance of winning. I'm so sick of all of these people out there who seem to think that somehow Nader is like this perfect saint who is somehow better than everyone else and that we should all "vote our conscience" and vote for him. Well, my conscience isn't telling me to vote for him. My conscience knows that he will not win, period. My conscience knows that in order for America to move in the progressive direction (that so many Nader supporters supposedly want) we must strongly vote for Gore, or else we lose big time. We lose the Supreme Court for the rest of our generation to vehement right-wing nuts who want nothing more than to hurt our chances at having personal lives. We will lose government programs that actually help people on a day-to-day basis, including Medicare, Social Security, Head Start, WIC, and (let me say this loudly for all of those college-age Nader supporters) any semblance of college-tuition assistance for the poor. Poor people and others dependent upon these programs don't have time for Nader's college course to help them. They need these programs now. They need a Supreme Court that protects them now. Nader is not going to win. Gore has a chance. If we don't work together to help Gore win, we will all LOSE. Thank you.
