Tell me who to vote for: Part Two
The latest survey I've taken from, oddly, Minnesota Public Radio, yields these results:
I've almost completely ruled out Kerry, so can I, would I, possibly, vote for Nader?
The issues important to me in this survey were:
Iraq Tax breaks Abortion Gun control Energy
Do I want to vote for a radical? All in all, I do feel Nader has done more as a public watchdog for everyday domestic life than either of the two big-party candidates. Mulling it over..
I wonder how many other folks would be surprised by actually thinking about the issues and dropping the party line. Chris Rock said in Never Scared something to the effect of, If you vote for what some party tells you to, without knowing the issues, you crazy. Crazy and ignorant.
Of course he also said, "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'. "
