Don’t waste your vote: Crap is an acceptible alternative?

October 28, 2000 | 1:36 am

I love how the Go-Tongue people are pleading with the Nader supporters. “You’re going to put Bush in the White House with your vote”…”You’re throwing away your vote!”. Sounds very familiar…very reminiscent of the original Bush pleading with Perot supporters in ‘92. The battle cry of the desperate and the pathetic. Sorry, Mr. Gore. If you lose the presidential race, you have only yourself to blame. You couldn’t convince enough people you’re worthy to be president, so you’re blaming someone else for your political inadequacies. “You amuse me, Mr. Bon..err, Gore” ^_^

The only way you can ‘throw away’ your vote is if you don’t vote at all. I appreciate Mr. Nader’s stand to keep with the campaign instead of bowing out in order to help Gore along. A third party will never achieve true respectability in the general populous if they bow out to the political establishment every time they cry: “Mommy! He’s taking my votes!”. Standing firm might cause the less desirable of the two main candidates to be elected…it’s just something that’ll have to be sacrificed a few times in order make a third party a truly viable option for the general populous.

On a side note: If the polls are in a dead heat on election day, take the evening poll results with a grain a salt. They’ll jump the gun on those ‘close’ states to try to predict a winner before people go to bed. Just wake up the next morning and find out who’ll be evicting Slick Willie.
