79. I can't argue with that
It's just that it's his right to run. Democracy can be messy. The only way to deal with it is to convince people to vote otherwise. People have tried to talk Nader out of running, but it didn't work. There is not much else to do but to get out there and try to make a case for voting Kerry/dumping Bush.
I was able to make a convincing argument to someone who was going to abstain from voting, by explaining that all other issues aside, the environment alone is enough reason to vote for Kerry. Even if it saves one endangered species, one old growth stand, one river, it's worth a vote.
They saw my point and agreed, they will be voting.
One thing I know, if I jumped down their throat and said they just wanted four more years of Bush, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
