>MC> Moralistic issues aside, Clinton has done no better or worse than any other president since I've been old enough to be aware of who's president. They're all polititians and fairly interchangeable. My goal is to get the one in office that I dislike the least.

>JH> You're right, moral issues don't really matter do they? Be mad if you will, I'm simply pointing out that voting for the third party candidate is an exercise in futility. Hopefully, the shoe is on the other foot this time around, and the liberals that jumped to wacko Nader, helped Bush. Yes, there is a God!

Yes, you will. And that is a right many have laid down their life to defend. I simply point out that if you do cast that vote for the third party, you can expect it to have only a "spoiler" effect. Vote your conscience, but don't expect that candidate to win, if he/she are third party.
