the whole idea of X stole votes from Y is reatard, is assumes some that somehow those votes where rightfuly one persons votes to have in the first place. Had I not voted for Perot, as I did, who would I have voted for? you don't know, I may not have voted at all, I could have voted Bush who I did like but found lacking understanding of the current econ issues also for his failed support of a uprising of the Kurds and Shia in Iraq after we did not invade ( something I did not agree with as well at the time, but later understood why and agreed was right thing to do)

I voted Nader in 2000 does that mean I was going to vote Gore?

I voted Perot  in 1996

I supported Perot in 1992 ( could not vote)

So to those who thing those votes are siffoned of, please let me know who I was going to vote for those times had I not voted or supported who I did...

Now please tell me why you feel that that person was somehow entitled to my vote.

Now tell me why Bush did not just steal votes from Perot....or Gore was not just stealing votes from Nader.
