Nader? Spare us, ye saints.

OK I’m nuts but I voted for Dennis Kucinich (before he dropped out). I’ll vote for the underdogs if I like their platform.

But this country seriously needs some real political diversity; Dems and Repubs are basically mirror images of each other any more.

Nader may yet step into the equation. We’ll see.

But, with stealing votes being so commonplace, and voting machines that have been tampered with, well, this is why I’m personally convinced that John McCain will be our next Prez, even though I loathe the idea.

Been saying that for a couple of weeks now…mark my words. :wink:

I don’t think she’s the best choice at all; rather, I’m echoing what Andrew Sullivan and others have said. That is, the major gay organizations have been too cosy with the Clintons, especially Human Rights Campaign.

Sounds like the old “you don’t have a choice” politics to me. But I do have choice (and I don’t have a single yellow-equals-sign-on-blue thing in my house now.)

Is Clinton really the best choice for the gay community to skew towards? I’m having a hard time thinking of anything specific and constructive that she’s done for us.

Her husband helped to give us such ambivalent policies as “Dont’s Ask Don’t Tell”, and more hostile polices like the so-called “Defense Of Marriage Act”.
