It led to a vey narrow victory for Gore.

As I said, Nader is and hsa been against the least evil. So de facto he has endorsed a greater one. He has a brain. He can add. And subtract.

Frankly, I think he';s bought and paid for.

Look, he spends 75% of his airtime complaining about the Democrats, his actions have hurt the Democrats, he could have changed the system from the inside as the honorable Dennis Kucinnich has.

Nader has INSULTED Kucinich.

I'll tke Dennis ANY DAY over Nader. He believes in the Big C. Nader does not. Nader wants anarchy.

As I wouldn't vote for Gore if he were running unopposed, and since he won Cali by almost a landslide, I am off the hook on every count.

I, of course, didn't vote for Kerry in 2004 either. Or Clinton. I haven't voted Democrat for President EVER. Not even for Dukakis.

I didn't vote for W in either general, and voted for HW in 92 after voting Buchannon in the primaries, due primarily to fears of NAFTA and the other New World Order groups that came to be under Clinton anyway.

Maybe Hunin should have voted for Bush, given Bush MN's 10 electoral votes and then the announcement would have prompted the Florida Gore voters to turn out, giving Gore 25 Electoral votes. Would a net gain of 15 electoral votes secured the election for Gore?

Face it.

They knew how California AND Minnesta voted. That reality led to a change in the law. Because that reality had the force of fact behind it.

Do you really want to continue to degrade yorelf as well as your reputation?

= Bee "dropping" it.

hey bee, instead of dropping it, why don't you try picking it up and running with it?

AFT.

And I'll believe it if I see it.

Yeah?

Me too.

Sorry. I feel strongly about Connecticuts "native" son.

Did you ever go her him speak? I have, twice.

Bee confuses our standing up for people's right to vote their conscience for politcal agreement. That's just farked up.

Yorelf is the one who's the apparent village idiot, ma'am.

I knew you couldn't turn it off.

Bee, the fascist would take away Hu's right to vote. That's just wrong.

I think i'm the most popular poster here. In fact, if I could figure out how to get those titles beneath my avatar that is what I'd put.

OH MY GOODNESS! You just made my day. Did you take the little 'intelligence test' that made the rounds a couple of days ago? I did, and I made a decent score. Then I tried to post it on the board. Could NOT figure out how to do that and too proud to admit it. So with my humility in tact I said to myself "it doesn't matter if you scored genius, if you can't figure how to do what everyone else has done you're a bloomin' idiot." So I'm delighted with your post.

Let's just say we're 'technologically disadvantaged. tongue.gif laugh.gif What's a real pain though is I have a computer degree. sad.gif (not a real bragging point however).

Yeah, and you get some reality.

I said I would drop it when I saw your post. That was after that last post.

I guess we'll agree to disagree, but this isn't exactly a new positon I've taken.

I'm just floored at your apparent dishonesty of the facts, as well as, your hysterical embrace of the RRW. Frankly, if it was me, I'd disown the sheeple cheering section.. I'd think their support would tell you something.

I'll stay away a while.

Yeah. You hurt me. Could you tell? laugh.gif

G'night.

Some things are just a matter of caring enough to stick to it until you figure it out. Don't sweat the small stuff. I can't figure out a lot of the stuff that goes into the administration of the board. That's why the whole thing is so plain and simple, and we can't post pics right from our computers.

If I'd known I'd be guilty of ending the world as we knew it, I guess I should have voted for Buchanan. laugh.gif

Then it would have been a vote for Gore, right? wink.gif

Man, this 3rd party voting is complex. Not for the faint of heart. You think you're just voting for 1 guy, and lo! you're voting for another. Tricky stuff.

Who would I have actually been voting for if I'd voted for Browne, I wonder? Or Hagelin?

Not voting would count as a vote for ....?

Yeah, seems to me I had more than one person kinda explain how to do it for me. They didnt go into it with enough depth I guess because I have been in my profile more than once trying to find out where and I cant find it. Its not brain surgery. I can find where it would appear in my profile but i'll be damned if I can find where it is that I can alter it.
