I don't recall you saying you would vote for Kerry, and a third-party protest vote is just a useless empty statement.

No I didn't but that's Kerry's own fault for being so suck; it helps not to have a candidate that drives off potential cross overs. But there are certainly people that did vote for Kerry because of Bush's conduct.

As for those votes, they can matter. They sure did in the last election.

They mattered in 1992.

Without Ross Perot, George H.W. Bush would probably have won re-election.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

A vote for a third-party is a de facto vote for whoever's leading in the polls. I don't know why you third-party people have so much trouble comprehending this concept.

Last I checked, the 3rd party voters didn't have any responsibility to elect either canidate.

Last I checked, no one really has a "responsibility" to vote at all. Next utterly irrelevant and useless retort, please.

You act as if voting third-party is supporting the status quo. Maybe it's a protest against both parties, trying to tell them to get their shit togther.

A "protest" which effectively supports the status quo. People often mock the statement that the end justifies the means; why is it necessarily better to assume that the means justify the end?
