So due to my disgust with the Bush administration's performance and my absolute disgust with all things Kerry, hell, most all democrats, I decided I was definitely going to vote libertarian. I knew that the LP was having a tough time getting on the ballot here and decided that if they weren't on there, I'd go ahead and write in Ron Paul (R-TX).
So I get to the polls this morning, look at the sample ballot. No LP, no Green, nothing but dem and rep. So now I know I've got to write in my boy Paul. So I get my ballot and ask the woman where I write in a candidate. She's quick to tell me that, in OK, you can't write in a candidate. So I'm left with dumb and dumber to vote for. I voted Bush, basically because of the social security issue.

I feel disenfranchised.
heh, I tried to write in Nader in 2000 and the old precinct worker I asked looked at me like I was some kind of a moron. He had no clue what I was talking about. God I want to move.

That is weird as hell. I did one of the computer balllots here in Austin, and voted almost straight libertarian. Green was not on the ballot, but there was a write in slot. You just got royallly fucked.
As well you should. I would have been outraged. There is something seriously wrong with your country's political system. Nothing you don't already know of course, I know based on your past posts that you're a strong supporter of a multi-party system.
Maybe if the Dems hadn't fought to keep Nader off the ballot in so many states you could have voted for him.
Nader wasn't even on the ballot here in 2000. I really like our voting system except for the lack of a write in name. I suppose you could just deface the ballot though.

that's bullshit. Even SC had everyone on the ballot.
I voted Nader. He speaks in plain (though slightly mumbled) english... therefore I can understand what he's talking about, and I like his ways.
I was going to vote nader when I would just "do what eddie does",
but I didnt, Im glad I didnt vote for him back then.
I have a hard time following what he says.
Which doesnt make him bad, but if you cant understand what someone is saying, then you just dont know what he stands for.

Why can't you understand what he says?
Well I have only seen Nader talk one time on TV, about a month ago.
Its possible I could've been high.
But he was flinching, kinda talking a little soft. I think

He has a website detailing his positions,
I cant read a leaders website to find out things, He must be able to address the people.
One thing I cant stand is when Im struggling to understand what one is saying.
I did understand some of the things he said, which I liked.
But I do feel I would've been wasting my vote.
Cause I do support the fight on terror.
