I don't blame Ralph Nader. He's a pathological egotist who can't help
himself. I blame the morons who voted for him. More than anyone else, more
than even the brain-washed wingnut Kool-Aid drinkers, you morons bear the
most blame for the past five stinking-like-****-from-hell years.

Not that I voted for Nader, but the fact that the 'People" continue to
slavishly vote for just two flavors of the same party (America's Real
Politik), we will always have this problem.

If a sizable chunk of the electorate actually voted for parties that
represent their interests, then the republi-crats would have to take notice.

Well you've certainly flip-flopped, haven't you!

No, I haven't. I've always maintained that you're a first class moron,
and I think I have enough evidence to back it up.

You blamed Ralph the first
time 'round, and now you blame those who voted for him? Why is it that you
won't blame the Democrats who voted for dubya, forsaking Gore?

Personally, I prefer the Republicans who voted for Gore.

BTW, the
number of Democrats that voted for dubya far out-weigh the number of votes
that Ralph Nader received in toto.

Get it? Or will you continue to live with your head up your ass?

If Nader hadn't been on the ballots, and if narcissistic, half-assed
nitwits like you hadn't voted for him, W would have lost (even with the
Ohio voting fraud) and we'd be a lot better off today. So **** you very
much.

Nixon was an amateur compared to the current regime.

this country has an amazing ability to find a balance; a communal
insight that emits a sense of divine intervention.

It's a straw to hang on to.

IAC, do you really think a Jimmy Carter, Part Deux, is what the US
needs? Carter is good, decent man, but he wasn't a effective President
- there needs to be at least SOME grease in the wheels...



maybe what the Country really needs is to be in a place where an honest
decent man can be an effective leader.

Next time around, we'll get that person. Only altruistic motivations are
left for the position, as there's nothing left to steal.

damn...the early morning sounds of a stirring idealism are sweet indeed.
however, i teach a high school mock trial course. ... 9/10ths of them
are dubya-lovers, repubs, and/or lock-steppers with the religious right
or charles krauthaimer-like spew...other than that, they seem like good
kids. g hope you college profs make more progress with them than i
have. i did see one of my former students last year. while here, she
was a quiet, violin-playing, conservatively-dressed, high school
republican. after 6 months at yale, she returned home for a holiday
break sporting a nose-piercing, rasta-like hair, bell-bottom-hippie
attire. it was an encouraging experience. g

Wait until some of these kids can't get student loans, and then ask what
they think.

Instead of loans they can just get jobs ratting out liberal professors,
right?

Sounds like my daughter...some change when they go off to college, think
it's called freedom.
When I picked up my daughter after her first year out, she had dyed her
hair light brown, shaved off her eyebrows, penciled in new ones, and of
course developed "the attitude". I dare not ask about tattoos, not from fear
of seeing ink on her, but thinking of the money I sent her because I thought
it was going to her education. It was a very long drive home.

Well, you know what they say:

If you aren't a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you aren't a
conservative by 30, you have no brain...
