Obama and Hillary supporters, how many of you that say that won't vote for the other...
...blame Nader voters for not voting for Gore?

How many of you would rather have another 8 years of Republicans, over having a Demorat, ANY Democrat?

Do you want to look back 4 years from now and wonder if you could have helped stop the Iraq war by voting for a Democrat?

How can any of you say such a thing after not getting Al Gore for 8 years; and instead getting a monkey to ruin our country?

You all should be embarrassed.

4. No. I'm asking both.
Obama is going to win, but he might pick her for the VP. Many Obama supporters have suggested they won't vote for that ticket if she is on it.

Any "Democrat" that says they won't vote for either is NOT a Democrat.

This is directed at all of them.

2. I don't blame Nader for Gore
Nader's impact was too small, there were too many other things that could have shifted the balance. I don't even really think about 2000 anymore.

But I won't vote for Hillary.

I'll pretty much walk away

5. Wow. That uniformed, huh?
And how you can say that you'd walk away after everything Bush has done is just flat out disgusting.

8. If another Clinton or a McCain is elected
I have to assume that it's what the US wants. Neither would be very different from Bush

18. how different is OBama with a 95% voting record the same as Clinton?
Funny how no one has a link to him actually giving that speech not one soul reported on when it supposedly happened.

14. actually I believe that Gore said that he doesn't blame Nadar.
If he doesn't, none of us should. He (Nadar) had every right to run. That may not sound right to you, but I don't believe in the two party system anyway.

Will we blame the Greens or the Libertarians or Nadar (again) if it's close and McCain wins? We shouldn't. They have every right to exist and fight for what they believe in too.

You are willing to live the last 8 years over again.

Amazing!

9. No, I'm not
I left if you actually read the link I posted. You apparently have no clue about history or even what's happening right now.

10. McCain thanks you in advance for your support
If you don't vote for the Democrat, you allow the GOP to have one more vote than we have.

12. I don't think you understand
I don't even live in the U.S. anymore - if you read the post. If it's McCain vs. Hillary, if that's the choice I'm left with, I'll just become another damn foreigner.

20. If you are eligible to vote in the general election, then you're still helping McCain win
I understand your antipathy about Hillary but there are more important things at stake for those of us still living here.

7. Come on people!
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 08:03 PM by Catch2.2
I don't see how anyone from either side would refuse to vote for a Democrat. The ignorance blows my mind. 4-8 more years of Republican rule? Are you serious!? How about Supreme Court Justices?...Do you want McCain to appoint the next ones? I guess you won't care if Roe v. Wade is overturned? I guess you don't care that we will continue the same failed policies in Iraq resulting in thousands more soldiers and Iraqis dying. I guess you don't care that our economy will continue to go down the drain. How about when people lose everything because they don't have medical insurance or they're not covered? Can you look them in the face and say "Sorry, I could've changed things which would've helped you but instead I was selfish & stubborn and wanted to make a point out of spite." Can you look in the face of a family that lost their son(s) or daughter(s) in Iraq and say "Sorry, your child would might be alive today but Instead I decided to be selfish and stubborn." More importantly could you look yourself in the face and not be ashamed if you voted for McCain out of spite?

13. I agree totally with you.
It is coming from both sides. Anyone who says they will not vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket or won't vote for him because they must have Clinton are short-sighted. These are the ones whose agenda I really question.

15. I never blamed Nader voters for not voting for Gore
My animus is exclusively for Nader himself. He knowingly lied about Gore, and actively sought to disrupt his chances. He intentionally played the role of spoiler. The only other people I blame are the people who still defend Nader, even though he doesn't care enough to run for any public office other than President, and gladly takes money from Republican donors.

16. What would be embarrassing is being responsible for
helping to elect the Democrat's own version of said monkey.
