Why I Won't Vote For Ralph Nader

I voted gladly for Gore. But I am becoming evermore disillusioned by the corrupting role of money in both major political parties. And, sadly it is the importance of the disposition of the Supreme Court alone that keeps me in the Democratic party

Welcome, Jim welcome

That's a very interesting web site. I looked up my zip code and saw people I know have given money to George W. Bush. Can't wait to see them and give them shit about this. I'll bet they get spooked to know this information is so accessable.

This is really disgusting. There are schools in my community were there isn't enough paper for the children, and my rich neighbors are giving thousands to a political party.

Well.. that does not surprise me at all. I heard this speech thingie by Bush some years ago.. he did of course kill the english language .. but also managed to say he would dispose of the poor(?)! Maybe that is why the rich are giving him contributions? He did not say ow he would dispose of the poor, but guess we should not need to worry until the BBC starts sending reports of secret prison camps.

Well, I don't think anyone is talking about or even thinking of camps for poor people, although one could argure that the US prisons are camps for poor people. It's just that the conservative philosophy is that everyone is responsibile for themselves, and that if you are poor it is because there is something wrong with you. Their concept of the obligation of government is to make sure everyone has the opportunity to do what they need to do to improve themselves. Regan's big mantra was "get the government of of the back of the people."

Of course, when the so-called conservatives get power, they don't follow their principles. Instead of more freedom, there is less.

Well, Robert, you may remember that when I was an executive in a big business, I would argue with you about this. I thought that big business could be benign, and even benevolent.

Well, what happened was my business got deregulated and it lost any sensitivity to people and to the community. So, unfortunately, now I'm on your side of this arguement. Next time we get together we'll have to find something else to argue about.
