So apparantly I called a Nader Voter an Idiot.
Lisa and i went out for drinks and met this guy, who apparantly voted for Nader twice. Because Gore was just like Bush, and Kerry was even more like Bush.

He was also going to buy a Jeep that day.

Anyhow apparantly, I called him an Idiot.

I dont really recall doing this, but Lisa doesn't lie.

So i must have.

:shrug:

3. I have a friend who had a Nader bumpersticker on her SUV.
Another of her friends tactfully told her that that was "a bit much."

4. I don't see how a jeep is any different than a car.
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 01:47 PM by ThomCat
But saying that Gore is no different than Bush, that's crazy.

Is a jeep substantially different in size or gas mileage than a car? :shrug:

6. i think there is a difference in mileage. its no hybrid.
he is not cycling or anything either.

i think if you are hellbent on calling people just as bad as bush, you should expend some personal effort into saving the world.

9. I agree.
But then again, I think everyone should be putting some personal effort into saving the world.

10. Nader voters aren't idiots. Just incurious. No depth. Example:
Gore and Bush are the same the same way a rooster and a 1950's greaser are the same; they both have combs, so that means they are exactly alike, right?

The Naderites picked out one or two surface similarities betwen Gore and Bush (what those few might have been, I can't even imagine... ) and concluded that they were exactly alike and not worth voting for.

If they just stay home in '08, I think we'll be okay.

12. I think people who vote for third-party candidates
are a menace to society.

While I whole-heartedly support their right to vote as they wish, the frequent reasoning that Democrats and Republics are all the same, etc., is misguided. It remains that a (D) or an (R) will win, and symbolic nose-thumbing at The System won't change that — but it may help elect the greater of the two "evils."

I don't generally agree that "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem," but in this case it applies.

18. I put a Nancy Reagan sticker on a crack-pipe.
Well, it is about as logical as a Nader sticker on a passenger truck.
