The LP vote didn't mean squat, as usual. The reason there was such a turn-out this election, is because more people voted against Bush, by voting for Kerry. If more people would have done the same, the monster wouldn't be in office for another term. Now, we're all screwed.

Ok...time to get my warning for the month.
Saying that voting LP takes votes away from Kerry is complete BULL# If Kerry deserved to win, he'd have more votes no matter how many people voted third party. Why? because if he was a better candidate to the third party voter, then they would have voted for him. Fact is, he wasn't as popular as Bush. Which says a lot considering the majority of people who voted for Kerry were really voting against Bush. Imagine if people really liked Bush. He would have won in a landslide. Fact is, as much as so many people hated Bush, they felt even worse about Kerry, which must be a lot.
So, next time you say that an LP vote was a stolen vote of Kerry's, STFU and face it. Kerry lost because he was less popular than one of the least popular presidents in history.
You also underestimate the danger Bush poses to this country, then. Kerry, while he may not make the best president either, isn't a war monger, hell bent on invading the world for the actions of a few.
However, a few more votes for Kerry in any of the close states could've very well decided the election in his favor.
