some form of instant runoff or proportional voting is the most critical change that will end their power, and they will fight it to the end. -

If Clinton had been a better choice than Nader to those who voted for him, he couldn't have spoiled anything.

You call Nader egotistic because he runs without the "blessing" of a major party. But why should the major parties determine our choices? -

How can anyone not love Nader's integrity? If lightning struck Bush and Gore in 2000, we may have ended up with a terrific country.

Not because I agree with all of Nader's policies, but because he passes the litmus test. Him and Kucinich are the amongst the best liberals out there. -

Google "Instant-runoff voting." Spain's parliament uses it. The Liberterian party uses it. County central committees use it to elect officers. But, for some reason, our national elections don't use it. They don't want third-parties. They want us to be brainless and polarized good little R's or D's. They don't want us to think. They want us to think that it isn't the system that is spoiled, that it must be the candidate.

I voted for Nader. A vote for principles in which you believe can never be considered a vote wasted. And I disagree with the previous characterization of Nader as a liberal. For those many who may associate him with litigation or withheld support for fear of a notion of even more governmental intrusion in our lives, I'd encourage you to research the man. I believe that he's all about capitalism. But capitalism that's answerable to its customers. Representation that's answerable. Ralph has made a life's work of fighting for all of us. As long as we insist that a third party isn't viable, we'll continue to be subjects to the commercialized form of government that convinces us that we as citizens hold a lesser voice in the direction of our country than the corporations that sell us our clothes, our presidents and our wars.
