It is the nadir of logic to say that the elections are rigged or stolen or bought when half the eligable voters do not exercise their franchise. If the bad guys seem to win the elections it might just be that it's the non-voting good guys who are their greatest allies. The number of stay at homes for primaries is frightening and the record in general elections is not much better. Instead of preaching to the choir, you guys would do better convincing the majority of Americans that you are righter than the other guys and that they should vote like you'd like them to. Unfortunately, you have not, yet, convinced enough of them to get up and vote, let alone support your candidate. Speaking of candidates, you'll have to come up with something better than "Anyone, But Bush" if you want to excite the voters.(Everyone blames Nader for Kerry's loss. I blame Kerry for Nader's loss. If every voter who agreed with Nader but voted for Kerry, and you know who you are, had voted his gut, either Nader would have won or, at the very least, the Democrats would have been scared leftward. That's how the Christian Right took over the GOP?)
And, is John Kerry, really, your ideal president? He wasn't anybody's favorite Democrat. A strong Nader year forces the Democrats to the left and solidifies the concept of a strong, liberal party in the US. Would that be so bad?
