Former Naderite becomes guy who warned him not to vote for Nader
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 04:41 PM by cryofan
Check out this story of a Liberal who vows to bite the bullet and not vote conscience. Some excerpts:



Jacob Weisen, 31, Tampa, Florida, shrieked at his television as consumer advocate Ralph Nader said he would run for president on Meet the Press. “For the love of God, nooooooo, Why Ralph why?” Weisen bellowed. Weisen, who voted for Nader in the 2000 election, has become the asshole co-worker that warned him not to vote for Nader last time.

...

“I told him there wasn't much difference between Bush and Gore. Brock begged me not to do it because Bush was a smirking shit heel. He literally got down on his knees and asked me to think about the radical conservatives that Bush would appoint to the judicial bench. I told him to piss off,” Weisen said.
...

“I was sitting at my desk reading Yahoo! message boards where
Republicans were gloating, calling us “Sore Losermans” and telling us to 'kiss our civil liberties goodbye' when I felt a pair of stubby hands begin to choke my windpipe.” It was Brock, a disturbed look in his eyes, “I told you not to vote for Nader” he screamed. “Look what you've done.” Weisen fought him off and sat at his desk the rest of the morning as Brock sobbed in the next cubicle over.
....

“We have to suck it up even if it means we can never break the two party death grip on our system,” said Green Harriet Hershey. “One big difference this time. People are dying in war, Bush has to go,” said Murray Byrdhopper, Independent. “Where does he get off thinking we need more than two parties in this system. It's simple. Democrats good. Republicans bad,” said Phinus Lindenmeyer, Democrat.

1. Very dramatic
"I felt a pair of stubby hands begin to choke my windpipe.”

Now if Democrats would only be so brave to do the same to Buchanan and Libertarian supporters. :)
