However, he is the only vaguely serious candidate (I know of so far - haven't bothered to check the libertarians yet) to unequivocally stand up and say he supports equal rights for gay people - including the basic human right to marry the person of their choice.
Therefore, I am voting for Nader (again), simply because he is the only candidate I could possibly vote for with a clean conscience. I was having real pains at the idea of possibly having to vote for someone who has publicly supported the systematic discrimination against and denial of civil and human rights to any group of Americans. Very few issues rise to the level of unadulterated evil to turn me into a single-issue voter, but discrimination against an innocent minority group and advocacy for a "separate but maybe kind of equal" legal regime to govern them is one. (Anyone who wants to extrapolate to various groups of non-POWs held hither and yon may feel free to do so.)
I hope you will join me.

Might as well vote for George W. Seriously, because Nader has the capacity to swing the entire election, he's not a protest vote, such as writing in Alfred E. Newman. Wait, AEN is on the ballot.
