Pay the big bucks, and play that Q&A session over and over this campaign. The shrub just gave the Democrats a huge hammer to use, all Kerry has to do is swing it.

1. Miserable

You can bet Condi and Rove bought plenty of flash cards after tonight's performance. If this is any indicator, the debate(s) should be fun.

3. Why go Green?

Who even knows who is running nationally on the green ticket?

Last time, there was Nader, but he's no longer a green. So why?

4. Lots of reasons to be a Green

Or is your concern that Kerry won't get his vote? (I myself am a Green but will trade Kerry my vote in exchange for some election reform. Whether or not he'll deliver is yet to be seen.)

5. I'm not concerned, everyone is free to choose

I was just wondering why discuss the green party nationally this year when 1 out of 1 million even pay attention.

The fight is to get Bush out. Not to play "you pissed me off once so I won't ever vote for you" games. It's too important.

I won't be responding to this again, because I see a goofy war brewing, and have better things to attend to.

7. For me it is not about "games". It's about a system that doesn't work.

See my website for more on that.

8. Instant Runoff doesn't work either

Supporting IRV over FPTP is like supporting counting on fingers rather than an existing system of counting with an abacus, when there exists a calculator (Condorcet).

6. Long history on that one friend

Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 09:46 PM by MadHound

Too long and I'm too happy with the shrub's public meltdown to go into the sordid details now. You'll see me around here sometime, and I'll be mentioning the whys and wherefores.

Tonight I just want to savor the moment, realizing that barring cheating, stealing or martial law, Bush is gone this fall!
