Third Parties

[bjmarte]

Except for the Libertarians, Reforms, and US Taxpayers party. They're either right wing nuts, or just plain out bat-s*** crazy.

I'm both the first one and the last one.

Had I not lived in Florida in 2000 I would gave gone Green and voted for Nader.  We knew it was going to be close in FL and couldn't afford the luxery of voting our conciounsce (sp?), so President-in-Exile Gore got my vote.

 

There are actually two really good recap of all the Bush Brothers misdeeds re the Floirida vote in 2000 included as the Preface and Afterward of Michale Moore's "Stupid White People."  Moore recounts a trip to the a Florida state universoty as part of the he took on behalf of the Nader campaign.  He put two and two together before most people did, and actually got up and said 'I live in Michigan where Gore's a lock so I can vote for Nader without the possibility of inadvertently helping Bush.  Here in Florida you don't because it's too close, so maybe you DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR MY GUY.  Nader was ticked but understood the rationale.  Gov. Jeb Bush is the one who was most upset, because he/the state had actually invited Moore down to the speaking engagement just before the election SPECIFICALLY to chip away at Gore's votes.  He caught up with Moore just as as getting ready to fly out and his sour attitude clued Moore into what had just happened.

 

Alas, all for naught.  between purging the voter rolls of suspected felons plus a margin of error of 30%, geting Catherine Harris in play to block any and all equitable resolutions at the state level, and having the US Supreme Court wipe their collective arses with the Constitution by pulling the plug on the whole thing when it got too close to overturning the results, the fraudulent Prez was in.

 

I guess it is good to be the King.

Michael Moore's your source for misdoings in Florida? Ha!

Actually, it was, let's bend the law by purging the voter rolls of not only convicted felons, but also an additional +30% of false hits.  The computer company hired to purge the data bases came back to the state and said, this is way too many false hits and we can't ethically do this, Jeb said do it anyway and so it was done.

 

Just one small example of the systematic whittling down of the FL voters who weren't planning on voting for Big Brother Dubya.
