Tom, I have to admit that I'm quite bothered by that sentiment, even if it was meant facetiously. If people want to vote for someone you don't like, that's their right. Just because I disagree with many people about which candidate should win doesn't mean that I resent their voting rights.

Tell me what the Federal Reserve does with the interest collected on every dollar that they loan into existence. Trace the flow of that interest money, find the center of real power, and then tell me if it really matters which candidate Florida elects.

Hey, people have the RIGHT to vote for whomever they want. But if a whole busload of Bush voters in a swing state take a wrong turn and wind up stuck in the wilderness until the polls close, I will shed few tears.
There's a difference between recognizing that people have the right to do things and being glad that they exercise those rights. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Aw, come on Jon Boy. I'm sure if Tzadik was actually a US citizen, or had US voting rights, Tom would never seek to deny him of his right to vote.
All Tom is saying is that of the votes, he would prefer less to be Bush votes. Just like of all the new people who have moved to my electorate over the last 3 years - I would prefer them to be Labour voters. The fact that they might vote Liberal doesn't mean I want to deny them of their right to vote. I just wish they hadn't affected my electorate.

Okay, okay. For some reason, when I read it, it sort of struck a nerve. But I suppose that I sympathize with the idea.

Kinda like the people that were happy that the people that wanted to vote for Gore in Florida weren't bright enough to do so. Those against Gore were tickled pink.

Well, I admit that I will be thankful for all the people who vote for Ralph Nader, who might otherwise have voted for Kerry.
