BHR,
Do some research, you'll find H. Normans stances on environmental issues make some pretty good sense. Being an avid outdoorsman, who hunts whitesheep, (instead of killdeers like shrub seems to prefer), I bet he'd be more likely to have a basic understanding of the plight of PNW wild anadromous fish than shrub.
As to who is the "pussy"...nothing like being a follower, something you know all about. It takes a lot more courage to stand for your ideals...RATHER than just give in and vote for someone who you think may win. I've given up long ago on selling my beliefs, morals, and ethics down the river for something as trivial as partisan politics. Glad you feel the need to support them, because I dont, and never will. Dont worry, you wont be swaying my opinion or or how I vote, my choice. The important thing is to excercise the right to vote.
I'd rather my vote was one of discontent over a two party system, that in my opinion is a mess, than just voting for someone simply on the likely hood of whether or not they "win" . Its pretty obvious your vote is more aligned with who will "win" than who will do whats right. I dont believe that Kerry was any better...Wesley Clark would have been worthy of my vote...but he didnt make it. Hopefully, one party or the other (or a third party) will eventually run a candidate worthy of my vote...until then, they, like you, can bite my ass.
By the way, question for you...how are we ever going to get a legitimate 3rd, 4th party if nobody ever promotes them? Secondly, there are other avenues to get your voice heard...thats why we have a house and senate...or did you forget about that since your 6th grade political science class?
