The argument that a vote for nader is a vote for bush is flawed. The basic premise of voting is that you vote to support a candidate and or a set of ideas you align with. Its a step better than voting "none of the above" as it provides an idea of what you would prefer.
The concept of voting for the "lesser of two evils" just further perpetuates the mess that we find ourselves in today.
