8. Meaning ... when you are given two options ...
by two wings of the same party you end up electing "the lesser of evils"

over and again in a downward spiral ---

Obvious and long-recognized reality --

30. Not with possibility of winning because ...
we don't have IRV --

the two parties ensure that they are kept restricted --

HRC was DLC --

The populist candidates threatened by Chamber of Commerce --

Kucinich eliminated from debates --

33. I do not always vote for the person most likely to win
I have no affilation w/any party (w/the exception of re-regiserterig Dem during the spring so that I could vote in the senatorial primary. Then it was back to NA.)

Not sure why you mentioned HRC, but for the record, I would never vote for her. Din't like her in the 90's and I don't like her DLC self now.

Dennis Kucinich was treated horribly by Ted Koppel (Is that the guy w/the mini Trump hairdo?) during a 2004 ABC debate. I have not watched ABC news since then.

W/the exception of $25 given to Chris Dodd to help retire his campaign debt, all of my presidential donation money went to Dennis.

I vote for the person, not for who might win. This year it is looking more and more like I voted for the wrong person.

23. Is there a reason to be so coy, as well as insulting? What's the problem with simply
saying what you would do?

9. When you have the opportunity ....
to create your own response, as you well did, I think pretense complaint about

"impartiality" is just that --

14. An end to Republican rule on Jan 20 - Priceless!
Edited on Sun Nov-23-08 09:22 PM by dmordue
Beyond that none of the people I donated to are in office yet - including president elect Obama so I'll wait until he actually takes office before expecting any change - seems fair doesn't it?

27. I Haven't Decided Yet
Hey, TahitiNut is an old man like me. I doubt he does texting. I know i don't!

We'll wait for him to opine. If he wants to insist on texting during class, i'll take it under advisement!

26. Anyone who contributed because they thought they'd get something other than this was
not listening, or was stupid.

32. How Much Better Can It Get? Awesome President And Gettin To See The Green Morons Perpetual Insanity
I love it! We're gonna be rid of the current clusterfuck of an administration, will have it replaced by a brilliant one, and I get to sit back and watch the minds of overzealous closed minded ignorant as can be green party jackasses explode daily from their own moronic perception!

Worth every penny!
