You're not a careful reader, Ghost (you're no Guest)---or you would have noticed I rejected the Bushite plant hypothesis in favor of the frustrated Naderite idea.

That's obviously what you are, in spades.

By the way, I'm a registered Republican (so not precisely a diehard Democrat--in fact it's the first time I've ever been called that--interesting sensation.)

But I vote on the person and the issues, not the party.

I'm also somebody who realizes that Bush is a disaster for the country and possibly the world, a fact which doesn't seem to have penetrated your ivory tower.

Kerry, on the other hand, can and will think.

You ought to try it sometime.


Sorry the country ( and by extension the world) hasn't suffered enough to be worthy of your wisdom.


The house is burning down---- stop arguing with the bucket brigade.

Also, Ghost---

You seem to have some connection to the person who started this thread.

Very interesting heading--"How much do you think your vote counts?"


It's not exactly paranoid to hazard a guess that the person who wrote that is a cynic and does not, in fact, think voting is worth it


Not a very helpful attitude now.
