Thought of this the other day..... The protests are going to much more effective at the voting booth than in the streets.
Pole: Vote for Bush again?
- Thread starter patconnole
- Start date
Id wager that many of the bandwagon patriots and traffic blocking protestors didnt vote in the last election anyhow. 
For what it's worth, my mother in law (a lifelong repub) said she's not voting for him again.
I can't vote, not a citizen, so that's kind of a moot point for me.

Yes and yes 
I would hope that this galvanizes the will of people both for and against Dubya, and everyone gets out and places their vote.
If we are lucky we won't have another fiasco like the last election, and people can be assured that our next president is actually the one chosen by the people.

I voted for him before , and until I see who he is running against I don't see how you can actually say you would or wouldn't vote for.
as for the electoral college. I'll start another post.

I don't know who I'm voting for, but I can easily who I'm not voting for.... take a guess.
Whomever that one vote is in the "wouldn't again" category--- and silver's mother in law. I think there's reason to hope.

I've never liked Bush. I wanted John McCaine... but I voted against Bush by punching Gore... I didn't like either; at the time I didn't see much difference between the two. My dislike of Bush is just a gut thing, I don't really disagree with his policies at all.
I voted for nader--- don't know how it all works, but I was hoping he'd get that 5% to get the federal matching funds.... Now I'm sortof working on the free-air time campain to get more 3rd parties in the thing. ( www.bettercampaigns.org ). McCain is co-sponsoring that bill.
Yeah, I've got the same gut feeling about bush. As for his policies-- I think I'm in the same category as most voters, "I don't know why, I just like him! (or don't)"
My brother in law worked on the "roadless" law.. a means to prevent logging and crap by prohibiting new roads being build in federal forests. He spent three years working on it with PIRGs, and Bush has been slowly "attacking" it ever since he came into office. Also, I did a research project on types of logging, as means of preventing forest fires, or managing them better. Didn't like bush's solution to the problem.. "We've got to thin. We've got to thin to save the forests." In the reports I read, one of the logging methods (as for how many, where, and what kind of trees to cut) is described as "This method has been used in the past as a way to get the most valuable trees out of the forest, while calling it "fire prevention"....... doesn't prevent fires any better." Paraphrasing of course. So there's two reasons why I wouldn't vote for him.

I didn't vote for him, not that I loved Gore mind you. There is no way on this planet I could ever vote for that beedy eyed owned by the corporations, lying, rape the environment to line my buddies pockets butthead by the name of shrub:angry:
Libertarian, every time.
Nope.
End of story.
