you and your ilk will be whining the loudest to get rid Mitt or Newt. Just like after Bush won, when all you people did was shit on Gore before the election.

Agree ... and I want to see these 3rd party folks get busy on 2016!!! JoePhilly Jan 2012 #30
That's my biggest criticism of Ralph Nader and one of the reasons why the Greens ostracized him. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2012 #39

I thought as Chris Hedges does in 1996 and 2000. See, I supported Nader, too. I have to live Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2012 #89

What are you babbling about? whatchamacallit Jan 2012 #47
Babbling? zappaman Jan 2012 #50

Where do you get off demanding everyone Union Scribe Jan 2012 #144
Thanks whatchamacallit Jan 2012 #125
So to be clear, you are explicitly promoting the idea of voting 3rd Party. Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #59
Where did I do that? whatchamacallit Jan 2012 #62
yes or no? Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #65
Where does the poster advocate for a third party? Show the words, thanks. EFerrari Jan 2012 #71
this whole god-damn thread is doing it. Don't be facile. Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #75
I don't need to give you a break because I don't agree with your, um, creative speculation. EFerrari Jan 2012 #82
My, um, creative speculation is, um, dead fucking obvious because, um, Chris Hedges said TODAY Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #99
No, actually, this whole thread is not 'doing it'. sabrina 1 Jan 2012 #90
Right. Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #97

Give other posters a fucking break. Union Scribe Jan 2012 #145

a paid GOP stooge? progressoid Jan 2012 #104
He took money from Republicans in 2004. Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #112
The SC stole the 2000 election. Gore won that election! sabrina 1 Jan 2012 #106
Nader made the theft way fucking easier, didn't he. Warren DeMontague Jan 2012 #113
No, he didn't actually. The 300,000 Democrats who voted for Bush sabrina 1 Jan 2012 #121
