Statement on Spam and VoteNader.org
"Bob in Idaho" wrote in message .. . Well since you put it that way, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that if ALL the Democrats in Florida had voted for Gore in 2000, Gore would be President today! Another case closed. Your "so-called" argument makes about as much sense as you telling me that I should plant only the vegetables that you prefer, in a garden that I am planting for myself. Except in your own mind, you have totally failed to prove your case against Nader. According to your logic, you might as well take a shot at the Reform Party which garnered 17,484 votes in Florida or the Libertarian Party which garnered 16,415 votes in Florida. Either of those parties candidates votes could also have pushed Gore over the top, well except for one tiny little factor, the people who voted for those candidates didn't vote for Gore either! They voted for the candidate of their choice, and it wasn't Al Gore. You might as well say that George W. Bush cost Al Gore the election, since he was able to convince Democrats to vote for him who wouldn't otherwise have voted for him, if he hadn't run for the office of POTUSA. Face it fella, until there is a constitutional amendment passed making our political system a two party system, you'll just have to live with the fact that not everyone agrees with the Democrat/Republican Party agendas. It's politics in America, get used to it. One question though: If by chance Ralph Nader were to pull out this time around, which parties candidate are you going to blame if George W. Bush wins again? Bob C. Idahoan for Nader O.k., this has gone on long enough. I was hoping that the whole mess would have blown over by now but, obviously, this is not the case. It's MY fault. Yes, it's true. You see, I lived in Florida back in 1971. One night (in June, I think it was) I conceived a brilliant reform plan that would forever change the face of American politics and make it impossible for a fool of any size, shape, color, sexual orientation, or political philosophy (however badly pretended) to be elected to any national office. I'd actually initiated the plan, which would have required only a few more hours of careful nurturing before acquiring an unstoppable momentum of its own, when a couple of buddies suggested we all go out for a couple of drinks. Well, I was tired and overwrought......I acceded. Um.....one thing led to another and we all got stinking drunk.....woke up somewhere on South Beach about three o'clock the next afternoon. The plan faltered......I never could remember exactly what it was. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I'm sorry. Wolfgang who would like a shot of redemption to go with his catharsis, please. |
