General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Ralph Nader's Open Letter to former President George W. Bush: "The Country You Destroyed" [View all]but it's funny to notice how much liberals fidget and squirm when assessing blame for Gore's loss, when the blame is clearly on themselves for not having worked hard enough to *ensure* his election. And I voted for the guy, not for Nader who wouldn't have been able to cobble a political coalition, and especially not for the criminal who 'won'. I voted for the guy because I read his books, I respected his intelligence integrity and compassion, a polar opposite of the criminal who got the job.
But ya know, Gore WAS a hawk. Gore DID select an uber-hawk as VP. Gore WAS a corporate third-way guy. Gore WAS the know-it-all kid we didn't particularly like in school. These reasons were constantly cited by those voting for Nader. And if Gore (or his female clone Clinton) were running today, liberals would be writing in Warren's name, pretty much for the exact ... same ... identical ... reasons. Think about that, hmm?
So please stop all this dishonest Nader bashing. It was the ignoranti within the campaign, the electorate, the press, both parties and the SCUS **pius the understandable lack of support from liberals** who gave us the ignorant child-thug George Bush.
Instead let's heartily laugh at men who stare, pridefully but pitiably, at flowers. Meanwhile, Gore's a civilian, and I love him so much ever more[1]. If Gore were to run, I'd definitely return to the Dems but with his bad caricature surely to be the candidate, I'll stay with a third party, for the second time in my life, thank you. And I will vote for the person I think best fit for the times.
But know this. I will continue to despise most prominently those who want to REDUCE choices on my ballot. Yes, you, you fucking royalists, how DARE you call yourselves "democrats" huh?
