Reply #6: Listen, I voted for Nadir (sic) and I TOTALLY regret it. [View All]

I'm sorry that I helped Bush steal the White House. I've voted green since I could legally vote, and thought voting for Ralph would send a message to the increasingly corporate-controlled Dem leadership...I WAS WRONG IN 2000. Now I'm doing all I can to help a Democrat win the White House. I'm a regular poster here, I read bartcop and Buzzflash everyday, I'm contributing money to my favorite candidate, and going to meetups, I attend protests, I spread the news about things I've heard on this board to everybody I know, I sign every petition to undermine the Bush administration evry chance I get, I donated to the ImpeachBush website, I use my money selectively so as not to contribute to the coffers of republican-owned companies and evil multi-nationals, but first and foremost, I AM DETERMINED TO SEE A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2004!!

I'd like to say that there are a hell of a lot of people like me, and we're not the enemy, guys. Most of us who consider ourselves greens only vote green in locl elections, and we've learned our lesson about voting green in the natioanl elections when the stakes are so high (I was CERTAIN Gore was gonna win in 2000, and I could not forsee Bush stealing the election). A little forgiveness would be nice, you know? I mean, we're in the same boat. I forget who originally said this, but there's a saying: "We are awash in a sea of blood and death and the least we can do is wave at each other."

I'd like to se the green grudge-holding and bashing stop. It's counter-productive. Just my two cents, thank you for listening.
