That’s what you get when you voted Nader in 2000…

…well, to be fair, VP Al Gore wasn’t an enthusiastic campaigner. In any case, thanks to those who voted for big “W” in ‘oo and, more remarkably, again in ‘04…and particularly thanks to those who don’t bother to vote at all, we got ourselves a newly conservative Supreme Court. And now they’ve given us a new Constitutional right!

Though the Constitution itself links the right to bear arms to service in a militia, we now have the expanded…Right to Keep & Bear Deadly Assault Weapons in the Home, or on the streets! For a nation still reeling from Columbine, or Virginia Tech or the hundred other such in the last three years alone, this is a deadly gift—and another reminder of the vital importance of bothering to vote for “the lesser of two evils” every four years.

  1. Hey, I like elephant, but this kind of headline is a turn off. Vote for the candidate you think best, be it Nader or W, or Gore. Real change only happens when people vote their conscience. Maybe if more people had voted Nader, or other 3rd party candidate through the years we’d be on a new course and not have to think about “the lesser of two evils”. True change takes time, not four years! Look beyond the next election and the election after that. Where do you really want to be headed?
