Who wants to Protest Nader Gatherings?

[absyntheNsugar]

OK...I know this is going to get some flames, but I would like to set something up where we Dems who actually care about the future (rather than the closet Bush supporters out there voting for Nader...) go out and protest Nader gatherings.

We could use their strategies against them, huge puppets that show a half-Bush, half-Nader or other things of the like.

Who's with me?

1. Somebody with photoshop skills

should do a morph of Ralph Nader changing into Bush.

[absyntheNsugar]

2. HA HA I like that

n/t

[pmbryant]

3. I prefer the 'ignore' tactic

I doubt Nader will get much more than 1% of the vote this year. Why bring extra attention to his lost cause?

4. Even 1% is too much this year

Especially in the purple states.

[absyntheNsugar]

6. Yes...this year there it will be close

And if I hear that lame, bs mantra "Kerry is the same as Bush" I'M GONNA RALPH!

[still_one]

5. Only if he announces that he is going to run

[Padraig18]

7. Nader who?

Put me in the 'ignore' crowd.

8. brilliant!

Why protest the real enemy when you have a handy, and much less personally threatening, scapegoat handy? Complete genius.

9. Um, sorry dude

Nader cost Gore the election. You can spin numbers if you like, but Nader cost Gore the election.

Anyone who votes Nader in this election is a Republican. Not deluded, not mistaken, not foolish but a RIGHT WINGER LOOKING TO LIVE WITH THEIR VOTE FOR BUSH.

I mean that old, tired, bs mantra of Bush=Gore - if you still beleive that than either you don't read the news, or fall into my description above...

Some people fell for it last time, but this time anyone who falls for it is not falling for it, but really a Republican at heart.

And, if thats the case, you have no place on this board.

12. my point stands.

Where are your posts suggesting that we protest Bush or wingnut gatherings? No, it's far easier to hound leftists out of the party.

And, if thats the case, you have no place on this board.

More calls for glorious purge from a relative newbie.

True AbsyntheNSugar has just over 1000 posts, but I've posted here under my previous name.

15. well, let's play "seniority" then.

My apologies for not realizing that you had a previous incarnation. I've had just this one, have been here since July, 2001, and have served as a moderator four times. I'm quite certain that you'll reserve the right to tell me that I don't belong here anyway, just as I reserve the right to, very politely, ask that you bite my crank.

10. don't worry about it

let's not fracture the political left.

[Perky]

11. I am in!!!!

Not sure what is worse Nader running as an indy or those who post they they intend to check out of the process all together

14. Spending my time on the real devil among us, baby bush.

But you go for it, if you want.
