In regards to your missive "B1g H0rs3 C0x..."

Well, everyone is politically chiming in, so here's my two cents (as pulled from comments to a friend on her political comment):

It's a sad state of politics when you pretty much have to vote to get someone OUT of office, than vote who DESERVES to be in office.

I was a HUGE Dean fan, and thought his assasination in the media was completely undeserved. I saw a guy who I really trusted, and agreed with a lot of his platform, get destroyed for having a good time...

This is the first election where I really feel cheated, am unhappy with ALL my choices (With Austin getting gerrymandered by Texas Republicans afraid of our Liberalness, my choices for everything are Far Right and REALLY Far Right), and am only voting Kerry because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

That is NOT how to have an election.

I endorse no one. Just get Bush out of office. Any way, shape or form. And hope his replacement is any better.

Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, and agreed.

John Kerry is Tweedledum

I'm going to have to disagree with everyone. Texas is sewn up solid in the Bush column and voting to try to change that is futile.

The only vote I can think of that isn't wasted in a non-battleground state is to vote for someone you actually approve of, although if you want Cobb, Peroutka, or Nader instead of Badnarik in Texas you're going to have to write it in unless Nader's appeal succeeds very quickly (He got in about as many signatures as we did by the deadline, and absolutely should be in. As Kris Overstreet's press release said, why does Nader need more signatures in less time to put just one candidate on the ballot than we do to put 71 candidates on the ballot?).

The biggest difference I see between Kerry and Bush is that most of the bush cheerleaders will put down their pom-poms when Kerry starts doing the exact same things they've been cheering Bush for doing.


The poll should not consist of Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and no one else. [Counterpoint: It must lest some ideas that we in power don't want spread around gain ground with you little people who must know your place. After all, we're government by the government, for us elites (like Mr and Mrs $0.10 of every bottle of Heinz Ketchup sold), of little people like you.]

If we're going to have a two party system then we desperately need one or both of the two parties in the two privileged slots to **DIE** -- and that won't happen if we keep voting for them.

Anybody but Bush OR Kerry.
