Why To Vote For Nader

Democrats are warning that a vote for Nader is throwing away a vote. They claim that it only will help Bush get re-elected.

We blame politicians for playing politics. We want them to make decisions that are in the best interest of the people they represent, not based on favors. Voters should do the same. You should vote for the person who you feel would be best for the country regardless of what the polls say. You shouldn't play politics with your vote.

So if you really believe that Iraq's invasion was a mistake and will be a quagmire, you should vote for Nader. Kerry's plan is really no different than Bush's plan. Both are determined to do whatever it takes to win in Iraq. They both will lead us deeper into this quagmire just as LBJ and Nixon did during the Vietnam War.

Only Nader will take a different path on Iraq. He has the best plan for Iraq and for our country. If you believe the same, than vote for Nader and forget about the politics.

Other interesting scenarios: Kerry wins because few vote for Nader. Iraq gets worse. Kerry keeps sending in more troops. Many Democrats look for someone else and split the party in 2008. A hardline Repub (even more conservative than Bush) gets elected in 2008. Bush wins because of Nader's strong turnout. Iraq gets worse. Bush keeps sending in more troops. Democrats reform and pick up many of Nader's positions (including the one on Iraq). A new and improved Democrat candidate wins in 2008.

Your arguments would be legitimate if Nader had any chance to win and if the only thing issue involved in this election is how the various candidates would act to get us out of Iraq. Even there, however, it ignores Bush's propensity to screw everything up. And that's the basic problem with Bush. Even if Bush and Kerry had virtually indistinguishable positions on all issues (which they decidedly do not), you stil have to take into account that Bush and his administration have made an art form for hoping for the best and planning as if no other outcome were possible, leaving them grossly unprepared for any other result. I won't go so far as to say that a vote for Nader in this election is a vote for Bush, but as Nader has absolutely no earthly possibility of winning, a vote for Nader instead of for Kerry does increase the likelihood that Bush will be elected. I'm not sure that with that outcome we can count on having a chance to ever cast a meaningful vote again.
