I am Glad Green Party people , and very progressive people |
|
voice their opinion and attack supporters of Kerry and other candidates.
I even encourage it, I don't really beleive anyone here is going to vote for anything except against shrub.
I don't really believe that anyone is going to vote overwhelmingly 3rd party or such becuse they "know" that in order for progressive ideas to progress, you have to start winning somewhere.
So attack away, I just hope no one accidently creates the GOP ads though, but either way, everyone has the right to keep others honest, that includes crazy ideas like voting for shrub because X candidate didn't make it.
I am one person who would have voted for Dean had be been the NOM, I even bet Dean would have won the GE had he gotten it, if not for that scream,
Either way you look at it, If Shrub and Company get 4 more years , then the GOP and the Right will be able to force upon the masses that YES, THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE NATION, and then 8 years of Jebster....and well...if anyone can sit there and let that happen....I just don't know......I just don't know.....

i'm not about to shutup or move from thread affirming my ABB position either.
plus all this talk of Nader and/or greens is doing wonders for my post count, just like the good not-so-old days :-)

3. To be fair criticism is not the end of the world. If this is about NAder |
|
he is NOT running as a Green and the Green party toiled with what they would do about the 04 election.
So my hope is that we distinguish Ralph Nader from the Green Party.

4. All of Bush's issues become legitimized upon GOP victory. |
|
The war in Iraq, judges, plundering the budget for the wealthy, and so forth. And it will be like this for years to come.

5. And I am glad that the rules have changed and I can say that I put on |
|
the ignore button. Kerry supporters have been relentless in their attacks of the 'very progressive'. The 'very progressives' are what the Dem Party stood for before it took the slippery slope to the right. I know you are not one of the ones attacking us, but I am FURIOUS at being attacked because I support a progressive candidate and won't just join the little Kerry bandwagon and give up all my principles that I, as a Democrat of 42 years, hold.
the primary is not over, and even if it were, threats are NOT appropriate. I can see as well as the next person the damage a second term will do, but that doesn't give Kerry people the right to decide my vote by intimidation.

6. The 3rd-party vote will be even MORE miniscule this year. |

America knows what's at stake.
