On top of the election, Patrick, now we learn that you're only a human being? I'm not sure how much more shaking my faith can take this week.
Seriously, the context for a remark that seemed uncharacteristically vitriolic is appreciated. (And I apologize for not having scanned the other comments closely enough before making my own.)
Even so, fuck everyone at Salon for one editor's carelessness? Make the anger a rifle, not a shotgun.
I could tell that URL went to an AP wire story before I even clicked on it. Don't shoot the messenger's messenger.
Damn, I wish I'd read this before I voted.
I voted for Nader in 2000 (in New York) for the strategic reason, like others here, of attempting to open ballots and public funding to the Green Party. While I'm upset at Nader that he broke his promise not to campaign in swing states that year, every time I read one of Al Gore's recent speeches I'm reminded that he lost himself the election. If he had sounded as presidential then as he does now, the election might not have been close enough to steal. If he had acted as presidential as he sounds now, he wouldn't have handed the keys to the White House to the thugs holding him up. But I'm more upset at Bush than at either of them, and I will be voting for Kerry this November despite the fact that my vote probably isn't necessary for him to win New York. If every Kerry supporter (or Bush opposer) stayed home because they thought the state outcome was a sure thing, where would that leave us?
