Or do you really want Kerry to have control of office, turn Iraq into another Vietnam


can someone tell me what the current US death toll is because of this war???


It has to be nearing 1,000 by now. Regardless of who gets elected, we're heading towards a second Vietnam. Think the 1968 Election: Nixon was elected because he promised to bring a swift end to the war, but instead he escalated the conflict. Kerry isn't even saying anything about concluding the Iraq debacle (or at least not saying it very loudly), so I shudder to think what he's going to do about the situation over there if he's in office. Bottom line: we're in a mess, and neither of our illustrious choices for President is going to do anything about it.

Maybe you should just vote Nader instead.


That's what I'm doing, Gundark. I may not agree with Nader on everything under the sun (I'm a Republican; how can that be possible?), but at least Nader cares about the average American. I have to vote my conscience this year, and if that means 'throwing my vote away,' so be it.
