I certainly never agreed with the green party (why is it called green again? Mother Earth related by any chance?), but at least I supported the additional choice and anyone who would vote for them. I still think it's very childish to say that an extra option is a vote stealer when you really have no idea how those green voters may have voted otherwise. Maybe they would have voted Gore, maybe they wouldn't have voted at all, and maybe they indeed may have voted Bush, hard as it may be to believe (that's how my mom voted when she eventually decided not to vote for Nader).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
