7/26 motd poll: If you had to vote today, who would you vote for?
George/Dick: ...
John/John: ........
\_ How many of the Kerry voters are voting *for* Kerry and _not_
merely *against* Bush?
\_ are you confused "what the meaning of 'is' is"?
\_ no, but I did not have sex with that woman (enough times to
get bored of her)! when did you stop not inhaling?
\_ The neighborhood's going down the tubes. -John
\_ Dems - no voting if you are dead, a felon, an illegal or a pet,
and no voting twice.
\_ What if your name sounds like a dead person's?
\_ Then you're allowed to vote twice in Penn. and three times
in Chicago.
\_ Felons: If you've served your time and are no longer on parole
you can be reinstated to the voter rolls.
\_ Not in all states.
Ralph! ..
\_ Yes! I am not alone! Since most of you are in CA which is going
to Kerry anyway, you should do the right thing and vote Nader.
Your CA vote doesn't mean anything anyway, so you should give it
value, purpose and meaning. Send a message! -Nader'04
\_ unless of course you actually hate nader *more* than bush, and
think he would destroy the nation in two years with his moronic
trade policy...have any of you idiots considered what would
actually happen if he won?
\_ Yeah. I'd vote Green if they had a candidate other than
Nader.
\_ If you really honestly just don't like Nader, I'm ok with
that. Everyone should vote for the candidate that would have
the policies you-the-voter would want. But for the rest of
us who would normally vote for Nader but are now voting
against Bush, if you're in CA, please reconsider since your
CA vote doesn't matter anyway. Help send a message! Thank
you. -Nader'04
\_ So NaderGuy, doesn't it bother you that your "compatriot"
is probably in fact ilyas? Do you know anything about
ilyas' politics?
\_ Why should it? And only what I've read here which is
the same mix of "I agree" and "Don't agree" that I
have with other motd posters.
\_ Ha, you really don't get it, do you?
\_ don't fuck around.
\_ do you really honestly believe Kerry won't win CA by a huge
margin? and why would you want Kerry anyway? -Nader'04
\_ Nader royally screwed the country last time around and is
too damn self-important to admit he might do it a second
time. Even if he might have better policies than Kerry,
why should I encourage someone who cares more about his own
political advancement than the real-world outcomes on
issues he says he cares about?
\_ That's DNC propaganda. How could he or anyone else have
possibly known a few votes in one state where the RNC
governor's brother was in charge would make the
difference? Nader cares about the people. Kerry cares
about his wife's money. Bush cares about Cheney's oil.
It's an easy vote for a Californian. -Nader'04
\_ The Bush/Gore margin was close enough in several
states that a couple percent for Nader probably
flipped it. People were warning about Nader costing
Gore the election and the response from the Nader
camp was "Maybe, but there's no difference between
Bush and Gore anyway, so so what?" Well there's a
big difference and if you can't see it, maybe you
should poke you nose out of the Green Party
headquarters for a little while.
\_ There really isn't but I'm not going to argue
with you about it. I've learned from the motd
responses that there really are people who
think the Democrats are different in some
meaningful way from the Republicans and I'm ok
with that. I respect your decision to be a
Democrat. You can respect mine to be progressive.
\_ I respect your right to believe what you want,
but I do not respect your stated right to
ignore reality. Gore would not have invaded
Iraq; Gore would not have brought Enron in on
shaping energy policies; and Gore would not
have pursued outdated and demonstrably
harmful Reagan-era economic policies. Those
are huge differences.
\_ You don't know what Gore would have done.
Hindsight is magic. -Nader'04
\_ are you a troll, or have you not noticed the RNC's
local efforts to raise money for the Nader campaign?
do you honestly believe 4000 more years of Bush is
worth your vanity vote? I don't get it.
\_ I condiser myself progressive, but more than
that I am a pragmatist, not an idealist. The
net effect of supporting Nader is to help
elect Bush, and to me that is anathema.
\_ Not as a CA voter. -Nader'04
\_ It isn't a vanity vote. Your CA vote doesn't matter
anyway. That's what I was told when I last brought
this up. Since that's true I don't see why progressives
in a place like CA would vote for anyone but Nader. -N04
\_ Uhm, because he's a self-important nitwit with no
political savvy and stooopid ideas about government?
\_ The only message I want to send Nader was best said by Cheney to
Leahy.
