1. Wow, so many have never seen this paper!
I've always lived in places where there were people selling it on street corners...

2. Walk right on past.
Until we get IRV, third parties will only exist to enable the Republicans.

5. Maybe we need to preemptively bomb them.

On edit:

I notice the man is grinning broadly. Who took that photo?

Maybe he's amused that someone is such a gomer they had to snap his photo to show to their relatives back in Big Piney Woods: "Lookee here, it's one of them com-you-nists. Wants to take over the world."

4. You don't have to vote for them to support them...
Edited on Mon Dec-04-06 08:15 PM by UndertheOcean
just pass their message around. If it convinces you in the first place that is.

8. If I support them, I support their message, which entails voting for them.
I'd rather siphon as few as possible votes away from our bulwark against the Republicans.

11. You can thank socialists and unionists for your current standard of living
They came up with some radical ideas for their time. FDR played catch-up when he passed some of them, like the idea of a minimum wage or the 8 hour work-week.
