It seems Ralph Nader will not be unheard, or at least unseen. Nader is planning to head into Boston to shock the Dems. This should be interesting as I really liked Nader until I found out he supports giving special rights to men who want to have sex with other men and women with other women. That alone made me look elsewhere for a candidate to support. Anyone know of a good candidate who supports all people without wanting to give special privileges to people based on their life choices let me know.

oh get off your high horse.
"special rights". what is so special about marriage? arnt you married. why cant gay people get married, will you be jealous? unless he was saying they will get a special honeymoon to tahiti i dont understand your "special rights" stance.
Posted by: mooseboy84 at July 29, 2004 06:41 PMActually, it is a special right. Everyone in this country has the right to get married already: to a member of the opposite sex. Homosexuals want to marry people of the same sex and that is a special right. That's not the only thing. Gays are a minority and many of them feel they should qualify for affirmative action and other special treatment.

Posted by: muddy at July 29, 2004 09:56 PMThere are strong arguments to oppose affirmative action. But none to refuse to include gays in the list of those there. Discrimination against gays is a fact. It exists. Wether affirmative action is the right way to fight it ... I don't think so.
I don't see why the government should give special priviledges to those individuals who want to marry someone of the other sex. I'm talking about fiscal priviledges.
I believe it is good to encourage stability among homosexuals, just as it is among heterosexuals.
My hopes are Nader will barr kerry's route. Kerry is far to mild on all the issues. And I think the same for all the democratic countries.
There's one good thing with bush, he helped revive the left opposition, world wide. And we need more of those incompetent and close to fascist leaders to really force us citizens to once again take in charge our collective destiny, stop caring only about our little business.
America is divided. So is growingly France. And all western countries. There's no way Kerry could fight this. It's too soon. He's far too mild. Nader is the right guy, but too old and its too soon too.
A big crisis is needed and no one is better qualified to bring the crisis than Bush.
imho
The times ahead are times of crisis. And the leaders needed are men ready for crisis. Kerry's wife would probably be more qualified.
I think Kerry's election would leave him helpless and turn voters out of the voting booths.
This world needs sadistic right wingers to speed up the crisis and create the opposition that will destroy them
