"Vote for insanity. You know it makes sense." -Lord Sutch
Put my ballot in the mail today. In the past I've gotten a bit weirded out
voting before most everyone else, but what needed to be done this time was so obvious, if galling, that I just did the "all democrats" thing with the realization that if that doesn't work, things will only get worse, whereas if it does work, things may merely stay just as bad. On our ballot the only well-represented third-party is Libertarians. About two out of every three of their basic ideas aren't all that nutty, but when they're wrong, hooboy are they off the deep end nuts. If they ever had an ounce of power they promise to give the national forests away to big business who will of course be excellent guardians of the resources for everyone. And the moon is made of cheese. A civil libertarian myself, it annoys me that the word has become increasingly associated with these crackpots. The Greens weren't well represented on the ballot & the Green presidential candidate is such a screw-loose dipshit anyway; yesterday I heard him actually promising in his swishy Sylvester lisp, "We will fightth for the rightth of animalth and plantth." Well good for you buster, but I'm afraid the plants might outwit you, & by the way, you're embarrassing to environmentalists. Or how about voting Nader -- that'd be like voting for a pot of moldy beans & then when you sit down to eat, surprise surprise, it's still moldy beans. Besides, he still owes me the $20 he stole from me. Constitution party? Is there slogan on women's rights still, "Barefoot & Pregnant & In the Kitchen!" They make crazy-right Bush look like a moderate. They're such fundamentalist twits with zero sense of history, talking about some alternate-world wherein founding fathers weren't Deists & Masons after all, but Baptists, & they're not joking, they really believe their crap is sweet. The Constitution Party makes me miss the Northwest Rhinocerous Party which ran on platforms of party hats & moon colonies & a tiddly-wink in every pot, which made ever so much more logical sense. So while in past years I've liked to vote for the occasional third party, this year there wouldn't've been any non-loony choices anyhow. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.
