God you're annoying (Can we PLEASE move this petty feud over to another thread, May I suggest making a "Random BRTD cheap lies and petty rivarly thread" (Hey with your ability to smear and make random sh**t up out of seemingly innocent comments you truly show another sign of becoming a republican. Lee Atwater would be proud.)
Yeah, because Democrats NEVER do that. I seem to recall a Democratic PAC called Vote Vets putting out ultra-misleading ads claiming various Republicans prevented troops from receiving adequate body armor. It was complete bullsh!t, but every single Republican they ran it against lost.
Vote Vets = Freedom Fighters
Probably Feingold; but as you don't bring up Feingold when slandering me I don't talk about him..
OK, so why not support the progressive within the Democratic party like Feingold instead of right wing hacks like Nader?
In 2002, the Green Party ran a Senate candidate that was to the right of Paul Wellstone and had ties to some companies with not all that environmentally friendly records. Why should I vote for a hack like that?
Also, until the 2005 elections there was a Green on the Minneapolis City Council. Everyone else was a Democrat. Despite that he voted to the right of some of the Democrats, and where is he now? In prison, for accepting bribes.
Man, those Greens sure are the party of integrity.
Also the Democrats Include Interest groups like this:
That's hardly a key Democratic interest group. Things like unions, pro-choice activists, etc. which I all agree with, are. Al Gore is ONE PERSON, and while he's certainly not perfect, neither is Nader, so given a choice between them and Bush, I'll go with Gore.
Most of his "authoriatarianism" is little more than being concerned about major vices in society such as gambling and alcoholAnd wanting more government regulation on them. Nader wants to ban advertising hard liquor, internet gambling, and a bunch of other things. He is a true enemy of freedom.
(You don't like poors do you?)
I am a poor.
and attacking the Democratic party for being in alliance with such groups.
Yay for the Democrats standing up for freedom!
The fact that Dobson also agrees only helps his position in that he can gain a high profile ally in such a campaign (even though I doubt he would agree with any of the Dobson program)
Wow, getting a high profile guy like Dobson on his side sure will drag me to the cause!
No one even remotely left of center will support something because James Dobson does.
As for Badnarik and Peroutka, I'm fully in favour of them running for president but when's the
last time you or anyone else has made a thread about themWell, I'm not American so my support is nebulous, and I only agree with about 25% of the Green program anyway and any Green Party goverment I would imagine would look alot like the goverment of Jerry Brown from California Uber Alles (Actually so would a BRTD-led land as a matter of fact, Minnesota Uber Alles) - but my hypothetical support is simple: it's the least insane of the three major third parties
Hahahahaha, now that's a laugh. There's nothing insane about policies that would crash the economy in two weeks and allowing local municipalities to carry out public executions of homosexuals if a majority of the population in that municipality approved it in a referendum?
it is also the most internationalist.
Yeah, internationalism is so great! Bush's internationalism sure as hell has improved the world!
As if there is no reason at all to Protest Vote....
There's always going to be discontent people. See my brother, who voted for Peroutka, on no basis whatsoever other than that he liked his name the most of all candidates running. He now supports Ron Paul solely because Paul is the most pro-gambling candidate.
Don't know the exact figures and I agree that the party should not try and seek Republican money (though with the draconian ballot access laws you have I'm somewhat sympathetic).
Ballot laws vary greatly state by state. Nader was on the ballot in 47 states in 2000, so it's clearly not too draconian in most. In 2004 the only state with no third party candidates was Oklahoma, and I think that's the first time that's happened in any state since the 60s.
NOW WHAT DOES ALL THIS HAVE TO DO WITH BLACKWATER!!!11
It's hilarious that you're attacking Blackwater for funding a party you support.
