an article from today’s New York Times made me angry today. It describes how both campaigns from the major parties have teams working their butts off to either keep Nader off or get him on the ballots in as many states as possible.
The drive by Pennsylvania Democrats is one of the most extensive and offers a glimpse into what it takes to mount such a challenge.
Mr. Booker said that 8 to 10 lawyers in his firm were working pro bono on the case, 80 hours each a week for two weeks, and could end up working six more weeks. The firm also took on more than 100 volunteers.
Working with Reed Smith was a Philadelphia lawyer, Gregory M. Harvey, an elections specialist who has been detached from his firm while he organized 70 volunteers at his end of the state.
It is pathetic, yet totally predictable, that both parties would rather spend this level of energy on negative crap than on trying too make themselves more compelling or appealing to those few voters who are currently still willing to vote for Nader.
Let me say it again: The Democrats would rather deny me the ability to vote for Nader than talk me out of voting for him. That’s complete crap.
Just another example of The Man keepin’ us down. You can vote for whomever you want…as long as it’s one of these two rich white men from Yale.
