Reply #1: Nader Actually Said That... [View All]

None of the above?
That's the stupidest idea I ever heard. I mean, it sounds like something out of a cheesy comedy flick.

What if "None of the above" actually won? We'd have complete anarchy and some extremist would seize power.

There are a lot of things that could be changed about our electoral process that would break the two party system, but neither of these are it.

If you really want an election to be more than picking the lesser of two evil (or the lesser of two weevils) and really gives more power to the people we must change several things. We must do away with the electoral college. We must only put some one in an elected office if the candidate has a true majority of the votes (if a candidate only gets a plurality, there is a run off in 30 days). I am not so sure breaking the strangle hold of special interests, lobbyists and PACs is a good idea. After all, we all say it is bad when corporations or the Christian Coalition does it, but what about the Unions, NAACP, Sierra Club, NARAL, etc?

Ralph Nader is talking and acting like a fool. I don't believe he is conspiring with the GOP to ruin this election, but he is being their unwilling patsy.
