Swamp Elective

If you believe that Ralph Nader most closely represents your worldview and would make an excellent president, by all means vote for him. It is your democratic right, dare I say, your duty, to do so. But if you believe that your vote is anything more than a “protest vote” wake up. We have a winner take all system. And the Bush people take that quite literally, anything that is not figuratively and/or explicitly nailed down is being carted away to Bush’s campaign contributors. So if you want to protest, buy a fucking T-shirt! Stop traffic in front of the White House; hold an anti-War water balloon fight. But for fuck sake don’t vote for an egomaniacal consumer advocate and pretend it will do fuck-all for “change.” I could tell you exactly what options I would like on my Ferrari but it won’t mean a damn thing because I don’t own one and I’m not going to any time soon! Not excited by Kerry? Just concentrate on the four more years of lubeless sphincter stretching we’re in for, sack up and pull the lever anyway! Consider yourself warned.
