When you say that you will be checking off Kerry even though you don't like him. I get VERY concerned when I hear very intelligent liberals claim they are voting for Nader. It makes me wonder how such smart informed people don't realize how bad another four years of Bush will be for our country. And although I am personally a very enthusiastic Kerry supporter, I agree that there are some more liberal positions that he should take. Once he becomes presidnet, I will be right there with you guys encouraging him to take those positions. And once again, I do agree with many of the positions you stated above. I'd like to have an election system where House districts aren't gerrymandered to the point where it's dominated by one party for many years. I'd like to have a system where the president can't be elected without the popular vote. I'd like to have a system where it is easier to overthrow the government if we don't like it. I'd like to have a system where multiple parties are represented. But the fact is that all of these are HUGE changes and would require multiple constitutional ammendments and more importantly a change in the entire mentality of the way our government operates. Right now, we are in danger of loosing democracy as we know it all together. It is REALLY not the time to be pushing for a multiparty system. When Kerry brings back some level of stability to the government, then we can talk about fundamental reforms. But now is simply not the time.
