If I was American I'd vote for Ralph Nader.

I know what you're saying but believe me Ralph Nader doesn't help us. These small fringe parties as good intended as they may be sometimes actually split the vote enough that it actually helps the other side.
Until there's a true third party in America you have to go with one of the two established parties to make any advancement in your chosen direction. |

I don't think that's true. Look at how much the federal government has ballooned under Bush. There's a lot of trade offs in politics. One group might be more for domestic social program spending but better at foreign affairs and that can come out the same as someone less concerned with domestic programs but constantly running up war bills.
The economy was absolutely great under Bill Clinton. The budget deficit gone. Really the only thing that I want more proof on is how to go about curbing healthcare costs. I'm not totally on board with national healthcare until I see that it's not a big tax increaser. On everything else any of these guys could definitely do a better job than Bush. They're already going to have a full plate trying to deal with all this Iraq spending. I truly think it will take a whole term just to get us straight on that alone.

And while you go with those two parties you'll never get a third party.
To me, I see that you have two parties, a liberal one and a conservative one. I'm a socialist, so I wouldn't vote for either.
Luckily, I live in a civilised country, where I actually have a realistic choice between more than 2 parties.

National Healthcare, a Hillary staple, would increase the Federal Government substantially. It is true.

Oz is right. If we live under that mentality, we'll never get out of this Republicrat mess. I vote with my conscience, not with a bumper sticker of "greater of two lessers".

I believe there were four people in my town that voted for Nader. Me, my father, our neighbor, his wife. But that was just because I believed Kerry shouldn't get the White House, and fuckin Bush wasn't going in again by my watch! Apparently I had the wrong time...
