That's because the Demo-Republican parties have been doing the job well enough since the formation of our government- Bush's performance not withstanding. At least that's my opinion I guess. But regardless of my opinion, it's a fact that Nader isn't going to win in his lifetime and it's probably a safe bet that the next candidate won't ever win. Just how it is.
I agree, Nader is considered too radical for mainstreem thinking and its considered a wasted vote. Realistically Bush, or Kerry are going to be the next commander in cheif. its a fact. You need to ask your self which would you rather see as the leader of the country. Nader has no chance of being President, so it would make more sense to do your research and pick the mainstream canidate you can relate with the most and go with him. think of the issues that are the most important to you and research which canidate would do the best job. good luck on your research.
