A Vote for Nader...
A vote for Ralph Nader is not a vote for Bush. Democrats are arrogant for thinking this. Republicans can say the same thing. A vote for Nader is a vote for Kerry. The democrats only say this because they are sour they lost the last election. Currently, neither canidate has won my vote. Bush wastes too much money on initatives that never are realized, while Kerry is too wishy washy.
After the recent debate, Nader has my vote. He has my vote because he will not win. If Nader was a popular canidate, he would not have my vote. We disagree on some important issues. One such issues is Iraq. He thinks it would be benifical to immediately terminate the occupation. This would be unwise. It would add more instability to an already unstable environment. After toppling a regime or government, the winning force should be required to restore peace. By retreating and letting the UN, who didn't want to invade to begin with, control the occupation is distrubing. They don't have the motivation needed for this task.
Concerning health care, the government should only regulate it, not provide it. It's the responsibilty of the citizens to purchase and pay health insurance, including senior citizens. A constant problem with the US Government is it's overwhelming desire to reduce the effects of a problem instead of fixing the problem. The leading cause of the death is Heart Disease. Heart Disease can be cured through educating citizens of the proper diet. Education is the key to everything.
Which, brings me to the next issue, education. The American education system is pathetic. There are fewer and fewer college students, and more and more schools that are under funded. There needs to be a reverse of this, or America will become a retail society, with the bulk of the workforce working retail, selling goods imported from other countries. There should be an equal distribution of funds to schools, to provide an equal education. Equal education promotes an equal opportunity society.
Back to the topic at hand. Although, both the republican and democratic candidates are qualified for the job, neither of them have my vote. There is no perfect canidate. Kerry keeps saying "I have a plan," but plans never work out. With Bush's record, I would not like to see him have a second term. I'll probably vote Nader next month, or Cobbs or Badnarik if they get out of prision in time.
