Reply #30: The only place the Democratic base isn't wrapped up is DU. [View All]

And DU is not indicative of the "real" world. If it was, Kerry certainly wouldn't be the nominee. Hell, on DU, people actually think that the primaries are still on and that someone other than Kerry could be nominated at the convention.

No offense, but your example is somewhat irrelevant in this conversation. If they already weren't going to vote for Bush or Kerry because of the war, is this issue going to change their minds? Nope.

I understand what you're saying, but I can't say that I really understand how people come to those decisions.

This choice is so simple. Bush or Kerry or throw your vote away, because a vote for anyone else is nothing but vanity under the guise of ideology. A vote for anyone else in an election this important to the future of our country is meaningless in the big picture unless it happens to help an idiot like Bush win the White House, i.e. Nader in 2000.

And, ANYONE who thinks that Kerry, faults and all, is anywhere near Bush on the Mr. Evil scale is ignoring reality and is ignoring Kerry's entire political career. Not to mention the past four years.
