Yay. Too late for it now, though, and I bet neither one of us could vote for him anyhow

I voted for him last time around.

Well, he sure seems to be the best guy around IMO. His opinions match mine nearly 100%.

too bad voting for him just takes the votes away from kerry, leaving bush with the same number of votes he would've gotten anyway, allowing him to win again.
hot damn, kerry might not be the "best choice" but he's better than bush and nader'll never win.

Nader is just a goddamn egomaniac, thinking he’s going to run again. Running as an independent is just well and fine, and his statement is a good one, but you shouldn’t fuck up an election just to prove a point. If he manages to get his 5%, fantastic. If he manages to take 5% away from Kerry, then I fucking hate him. Not that I already don’t.
I think Dean is the funniest president this time 'round, that guy would piledrive a baby if it disagreed with him.

That's a damn cool piece of art. What is it? A tattoo design? A bald eagle with a mohawk?
I think we all very well know democracy is a piece of shit political system. It's going to turn totalitarian eventually, anyway. No use fighting it.

Personally I think the Reverand Al Sharpton was the best cantidate just because he's black (OMG RACIALLY DIFFERENT PRESIDENCY!). But really. Dean was my favorite but he stood no chance against Kerry's political juggernaut.

I just heard Nader on Air America Radio (new liberal radio station opened up to compete with the conservative WBAP Limbaugh station) and the woman "interviewing" him was a fucking asshole.
She kept saying "We can't afford you in this election!" to which Nader hit her back with "Can we not afford to vote for whoever we want to? Can we not afford freedom? Can we not afford liberty?" and she just made herself look like a bigoted idiot.
Nader kept arguing about how the two-party system is keeping the country down and the woman kept perpetuating the bullshit two-party system and saying he'll never win (duh). Nader also said "Why are you going to limit the votes of millions of voters so that the Democrats can win the election?"
Eventually it turned into a shouting match and Nader accused her of filibustering and she continued to yell over him and he finally hung up.
Democrats and Republicans suck, they're the same party, and Nader pointed that out quite well.

At the moment though, I think it pretty much doesn't matter whether or not they end up being two parties going for the same ideals, the bigger problem is that we've got the Bush regime in power at the moment, and we need to do anything to get him the HELL out. All there is to it.
Sure Nader's right that everyone should get to vote for who they choose and that two party systems suck. Thing is, he's picking the damned wrong time to stomp his foot over it and make a point? We're gonna end up with Bush again probably, and that probably means I'm gonna move to Canada, if Bush hasn't nuked it yet.

a sketch that came in handy for the stylized character assignment that i had to do... due a week before i actually did it
be good for a Motor City 5 logo?
the fact that democrats are telling Nader not to run is an example of how fucked 2 party systems are... democrats are just poorer republicans?
i dunno... i hope he fucks shit up

I am for Sharpton, he’s the only one who can coherently string words together. (I would vote Kerry just to have someone else win though) Dean is a fucking enraged nazi ready to kill someone with a shovel.
