I have never, ever been ashamed to admit that I voted for Nader in 2000. I never thought that it was something that needed a word like "admit". I say it with pride. I thought he was the best guy for the job. I never thought that Gore and Bush were the same, I just thought that Gore was too much of a lily-livered moderate to get anything of substance done--just like Clinton. He certainly wasn't the liar that the press made him out to be ("I invented the Internet," indeed,) but neither was he the intellectual giant everyone said, either. (And Bush ain't that dumb, folks.) He never did or said anything to earn my vote; Nader did. I hate all these Democrats who just assume that I owe my vote to their candidate no matter what; the people who blamed Nader for Bush winning the election, even though 100 million voters decided to sit on their collective asses on Election Day.
Blame Nader? Why not blame Gore for failing to inspire another 200 Floridians to stop scratching their balls for just ten minutes so they could use one of those busy hands to vote? *******s.
However, 2004 may be different. The way the Democratic race is shaping up, with fundraising and early polling in Iowa & N.H., it looks like it'll come down to two candidates who I could vote for without holding my nose--John Kerry and Howard Dean. Obviously, it's early, and many things could change between now and the start of primary season (what a ****ing silly way of picking a candidate for a national election, but I digress). And it remains to be seen if these guys can inspire people who wouldn't otherwise vote (the bulk of 2000 Naderites), though Dean seems to have the upper hand on this one.
So, my fellow independant liberals, let us hope one of these guys gets the nod. They have balls, they have left-wing cred, and they both actually have a chance of beating Bush--at least, a better chance than the other seven. If one of these two guys gets the nomination, I might just vote for a major-party candidate for president for the first time in my life.
Apropos of nothing, I found this hilarious site via Tom Tomorrow. Go to Google and type in "weapons of mass destruction" and hit "I'm feeling lucky". Hysterical. Here's the immediate link for you lazy bastards: http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
