"It doesn't really matter who the President is..."

Who else is sick of hearing that?

... I am not going to give myself an ulcer or aneurysm either way. I cannot afford to let my family down by getting sick over an election. My life will move on.

your life will move on. For others, if the wrong man is chosen, their lives will become more unbearable, for staters: higher unemployment, higher interest rates (b/c * has effed us by busting the budget), further erosion of our civil rights, stacking the courts with right wing judges who will always rule for the corporation, and this is just the start. So, lucky you. But although I won't get sick over this election, I'll be HIGHLY interested and concerned.

... I too will be "I'll be HIGHLY interested and concerned" if the wrong guy got in. But you have to recognize, to me, my family comes first. Will my struggles in life increase? Perhaps. There's only so much I can do about politics. On the other hand, the roof needs new shingles, the car needs a new water-pump and the oldest is starting high-school. It's all about priorities bro.

And btw, I'm a girl, so that would be "sis". ;)

Or both.

Who says that?

If that's true, then everything else follows suit: how much money you make doesn't matter, how well your children are educated doesn't matter, whether you feel safe doesn't matter. Everything becomes irrelevant.

I never spoke to him again. He taught classes in Government at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Scary, huh?

...just add it to the list.

Especially ones in economics, finance, and accounting. Immediately after that, they will go on to extol the virtues of supply side, trickle down economics to their mostly unsuspecting classes.

If you're like, say, a rock sitting in a ditch or some mold growing on a piece of bread in someone's fridge. But if you're a reasonably complex life form it matters a lot. Unfortunately, some reasonably complex life forms forsake their reasonably complex thought potential and employ the reasoning of, say, a rock in a ditch or some mold growing on a piece of bread.

That made me click on that link.
You are good.
Yes I am sick of hearing that.

One of the things the Nader guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) was, "It doesn't matter to us if Bush or Kerry wins the election." Thankfully, Solomon ripped him a new one for that stupid-ass remark.

The Nader campaign believes--and his press secretary as much as said this today--that anyone who supported Ralph in 2000 but is now backing Kerry has "become a liberal" :wtf: and "lost their nerve." But Solomon, god bless him, had a great comeback. He named about a dozen prominent progressives--such as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Cornel West, Manning Maribel, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, and even Nader's own running mate from 2000, Winona LaDuke--who now support Kerry. Solomon then opined that those people had not, in fact, lost their nerve. Rather, they were being pragmatic in that if the American progressive movement wants even a slim chance of succeeding, the first thing that needs to happen is that Bush must go.

Duh, Naderites!

which prompted me to start a flame baiting thread geared at Nader voters. Sadly, the mods quickly deleted it. :evilfrown:
