Both Green and Yellow

It seems to me that a political party that campaigns only where it will have no influence is no kind of party at all. The Green Party may be hoping to avoid being the "spoiler" and pick up some membership in the states where its influence is low, but this is frankly a giant step backwards, and another reason I can't tolerate their politics.

As much as it annoys me that Ralph Nader is running again in 2004, it annoys me even more the way everyone tiptoes around him as if they come too close, we'll immediately be at war with Iran and North Korea.

I doubt that I'll end up voting for Ralph Nader, but at least he has claim to convictions as powerful as the fundamentalist convictions held by W. Bush. I'm not particularly comfortable with the Kerry lump.

My question to everyone out there claiming that he's absolutely better than G.W.: How do you know?

And this is my question to Kerry as well. How do we know? Please make every effort to tell us how we should know you won't be as bad as this guy in the white house now. Please show us in great detail. And do it quickly, because time is running short.
