Post #138,370 by a6l6e6x 1/28/04 3:17:39 PM Reply	Bad strategy. Vote for the lesser of two evils. You cetainly don't want Bush to claim a mandate. Also, there's a small chance of a Florida type situation where the vote is very close. Make it a larger crime to steal Indiana's vote. Alex Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves - and the only way they could do this is by not voting. -- FDR, US President

"Steal Indiana's vote" :-D The last non-Republican candidate who carried the state of Indiana in a national election was...<drum roll>...Lyndon Johnson. I don't think I'm going to make a difference in the culturally vacuous, intellectually challenged corn field of Indiana. Thanks for the thought though :0) bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.

Post #138,374 by hnick 1/28/04 3:38:27 PM Reply	Nifty I gather that we can expect you to quit bitching during the next 4 years of Bush, since you can't bring yourself to oppose him. Neither Lenin nor Marx are running. Get over it. You aren't going to like any of the choices. If you won't help prevent a travesty, then at least shut up when the aftermath sucks.
Post #138,375 by admin 1/28/04 3:41:12 PM Reply	Ditto. Not voting at all is just being part of the problem. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #138,378 by mmoffitt 1/28/04 3:59:02 PM 1/28/04 4:00:20 PM Reply	I know that's right. And that is what I've always held. But as I grow older it seems more an exercise in futility. The only winning Presidents I ever legally voted for were Bill Clinton (and I held my nose for that) and Al Gore (and the popular vote was overridden in a coup d'etat by the USSC). It's getting harder and harder to get motivated to flail into the wind. I probably will vote, my post aside. I always take the kids with me to vote. If democracy can survive/recover I want them to be a part of it. But with each successive year the differences between the paltry number of political parties we have here get smaller and smaller. bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java. Edited by mmoffitt Jan. 28, 2004, 04:00:20 PM EST Expand All History
Post #138,380 by Silverlock 1/28/04 4:03:44 PM Reply	I'm voting against Bush Even if it's Leiberman. I still expect Bush to "win". Diebold has too much of an installed base. ----------------------------------------- .sig pending
Post #138,381 by mmoffitt 1/28/04 4:05:17 PM Reply	And that is what I'll likely end up doing. But it makes me ill. To think, a nation state of 300 million and this is the best we can come up with? And this system works? bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.
