Thread Name: BS: Anybody But Bush?
Subject: RE: BS: Anybody But Bush?
I agree with GUEST. A friend of mine phoned one evening and he was clearly under the influence--lots of it. He called to say that Nixon had been elected. I asked who he'd voted for (we both worked for Eugene McCarthy in the 67-8 primaries. He said he'd voted for McCarthy. I said I wasn't aware that McCarthy was on the ticket. He said he wrote him in. I asked if he felt he'd thrown his vote away. He said no. He said, "I didn't want either one that WAS on the ticket, so I voted for the one I did want. He did that the following election also. In his words, McCarthy didn't win in the country, but he did win in my friend's house. That's democracy. Enough people do that, and the Dems and Reps will wake up. Voting for the lesser of evils means, ultimately, voting for evil.
