Guest Can't keep their opinions to Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 If that were the case, then the Democrats would not be spending so much time, money, and effort to suppress the Nader vote. More people need to stand up and say "enough is enough!" Until then, you will be stuck with what you have now, or worse. Thanks for the compliments. Regardless of whether I win or lose, the main focus of my campaign has been to raise awareness of alternative candidates. The fact that I have swayed people to vote for me, who have never met me or knew me before my campaign, I feel is an accomplishment. 96219[/snapback] I was waiting for the first ass-wipe to hijack this thread for his/her own political views. Way to go, KRC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I've never missed a primary or election since I was 18 (36 now).....I bring my kids with me (8,10 now) and preach how important it is to vote....I'm very proud of that actually.....

Corp000085 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 My vote will count. I will read the directions and vote for pat buchannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Sadly Ken, I'm not so sure it does. I think the powers that be simply write-off the 1 or 2% who vote Green, Libertarian, Independent, etc. One thing I respect though, especially after having the opportunity to meet you in September, is the audacity you've displayed by throwing your hat into the ring. Forgive my crassness, but that takes some serious balls. 96210[/snapback] In addition to KRC's points, it has been noted that if the Nader vote in 2000 had gone to Gore in Florida, Gore would the incumbent today.

Dan Gross Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 If that were the case, then the Democrats would not be spending so much time, money, and effort to suppress the Nader vote. 96219[/snapback] And, to make sure to provide "equal time" in this thread, it's also the reason Nader received campaign money and petition signatures from Republicans.

The Republicans were doing everything they can to get him on the ballot, because he would take votes from the Democrats. The Democrats did everything they could to keep him off the ballot, for the same reason. Either way you look at it, it is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 A simple story.... I work with a lady whose husband is in the National Guard. She keeps going around saying that if Kerry gets in the troops will be ignored. So, she's a big Bush backer. That's fine, I've got my own opinions which I keep to myself at work. So I come in today and someone asks me if I voted and I say yes and she replies "I hope it was for Bush." So, I ask her "Did you vote?" and she replies "no, I'm not registered". ....my jaw almost fell off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I am about to go vote. The trouble is, I'm not really sure I want to vote for Kerry, but I certainly don't want to vote for Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 This thread deserves to stay at the top all day. Voter turnout today is strong. The wait for voiting a my precinct was 2 hours. Bring a book or play games on your cell phone to pass the time. If I may throw in a simple request. Since you are taking the time to vote. Please don't hit the straight party button, vote for each position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 That lady has some nerve! I have had similiar encouters/conversations with people! I waited 45 mins this morning, never have seen anything like it! A simple story.... I work with a lady whose husband is in the National Guard.

SeanO Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Same with me! So I looked at the economic/budgets views of Bush & Kerry. Chose the one who was more fiscally responsible! I am about to go vote. The trouble is, I'm not really sure I want to vote for Kerry, but I certainly don't want to vote for Bush. 96685[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
