People who are third party independent voters are not cynical. We are true believers in our own causes, and the issues that matter to us. Why can't you two party nazis get that through your heads?

I mean, you all are acting like we are doing something heinous by choosing to vote for the candidate we feel best represents our interests.

What's so democratic about that?

I am going to vote for Nader and the Green candidates on my ticket not because I am cynical, but because it gives me tremendous hope for the future. When I think of voting for Kerry because Republicrats say I should to get rid of Bush, I get depressed and cynical.

Politics shouldn't be about disempowerment, or waiting until next year for democracy to take hold again in the Democratic party.

That is what Bush is telling the Iraqis to do--just what for democracy, it will come. No thanks. I'll exercise my democratic rights now, not later, after another do nothing Republicrat who supports the war I marched and organized against for the last three years, finishes bombing Iraq and Afghanistan back to the stone age.
