I've had a few political metaphors swirling around in my head. No reason you shoudln't have to suffer with them, too.
People sometimes say "I've heard lots of reasons not to vote for Bush but that's not enough."
If you saw a two year old with a pistol running around shooting randomly and irresponsibly would you spend a whole lot of time worrying about whether the person who could get the gun out of his hand is the perfect person to be handling the gun, or would you just try to get the damn gun out of the irresponsible two year old's hand?
Next - Nader voters who claim the Republicans and Democrats are very much alike so it doesn't matter which one wins are a lot like like sheep who vote for the wolf instead of the sheepdog because they're both canines and it doesn't matter which one is left alone with the flock.
