Vote Green Vote Cobb

Vote "Cobb" to build something besides Nader's ego.

1. YOU SAY: Voting for Nader is the only way we can vote against the war.

"only?" That's wrong. People can vote for Cobb (and a party) and vote against the war. I think the libertarians are against the war too.

2. YOU SAY: .... We should do the most for the greatest number...

If votes for Bush in swing-states swings the outcome to Bush, real people and real environmental gems will be irreversibly damaged, probably killed. It's easy for middle-class privilaged to have a "Mader ideal," but your statement, repeated above, fails the reality based policy test.

David Cobb, Green, has used a pragmatic "safe-state" strategy that will grow a party for future generations and not alienate potental future party members.

3. YOU SAY: If Bush gets re-elected, a groundswell of activism like the 60's can be predicted.

Meanwhile, Bush will spend the country into a fiscal hole that will make privatization of New Deal programs the only option. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will go towards the radical evangelicals, making torture legal not to mention crushing "1960s" rallys and taking this IMC's server and tracking this e-mail back to you. Then, they'll hire some street thugs and ... you'll be lucky if they bash the windows on your car.
"Yahoo! Bush is re-elected. Lets have a revolution! A 50-something in Brazil gave me some words of wisdom, "It's easier to prevent a dictatorship than it is to remove a dictatorship." You somehow think that Bush's authoritarian rule won't just be a two-decade dark age, from which we "emerge" (If we're lucky, and Bush doesn't get us nuked) to where we are today.
