But isn't Nader a Green? ;)
I think it's almost about time you yanks start letting us vote in your elections anyway -- it's not as if you don't draft our laws, and enforce your laws on our territory or something.

Ralph Nader for President, 2004!

Nader in Canada

Yeah, so technically I can't vote for being a Canadian, but if I could I would vote Nader without hesitation. Clinton bombed 4 countries in his last years in power, and Kerry looks like he's cut from the same cloth. I'd sooner have an obvious asshole than a slick one.

That said, I understand if in swing states you'd rather vote for Kerry than Bush; I probably would do the same.

Ideally, Nader should have a list of non-negotiable conditions for Kerry to meet to get his support, things that most informed peop

wow, no posts for anyone yet, its almost weird knowing that i'd be accountable for 100% of the vote, i guess its the low voter turnout effect everyones ranting on about these days.
even if this poll gets another say 10 or so votes i'll still epitomise the minds of 30million odd yanks ... not quite the same influence as tyranical dictator but not bad for 5 minutes work ... imagine if i then started censoring contributions based on slashdot usernames that looked similiar to the names of known trolls ...

oh ye
