A write-in campaign? It's been tried many times. Howdy Doody and Alfred E. Newman, for starters. It just hasn't been taken seriously.
But, it has a very clear benefit, even if it does not prevail: it would be a clear head count of all the votes the republicans threw away.
Well, then, you could get a nice, warm pat on the back for your head-count after Hillary's inauguration.
I’m guessing that you used to smoke dope. :>)
A few times in college. It made me twitchy and paranoid in the half-hour it took me to fall asleep. DO NOT WANT. I went back to alcohol, caffeine and nicotine as my favorite intoxicants.
I did know a lot of stoners, and sometimes had to talk down folks who were freaking out on acid or X (we called that "ground control"). I had a reputation as the one guy in the room sober enough to talk sense, or to call an ambulance, or to talk a dude out of the notion that he could jump from one third-floor dorm room to another.
I never saw anyone doing coke or meth or smack. I probably knew folks who did, but they never did it in my presence or told me about it. They knew if they even thought about that kind of mess in my house they would be told to get the F out.
Finally, “life” is not an abstract idea. You’re either dead or you’re alive. LIFE is not an idea, issue, infatuation, polling point, etc., etc.
Dunno what you're getting at here. I'm talking about the viability of a third-party candidate, regardless of the ideological argument for it. Abolitionist parties, Prohibitionist (or Temperance) parties, the Know-Nothings, and other single-issue parties have been a historical footnote since the first days of the Republic. I see no reason to believe that an anti-abortion (pro-life, if you prefer) party would do any better.
We’re not talking about a new party or a single issue.
We’re talking about Conservative Republicans.
Giuliani will lose anyway. He’ll lose because folks like me don’t want an anti-gun, pro-gay agenda, pro illegal immigration, anti-family, anti-marriage, anti-life, inexperienced, family dysfunctional, liberal in charge of the nation. (That all fits Hillary or Giuliani, btw.)
There’s no way I’ll vote for the man.
Therefore, those who insist on Rudy are actually supporting Hillary. No conservative wants a liberal like Rudy in charge.
He married his own flippin’ cousin for Pete’s sake. IT’s bizarre. He’ll be destroyed in the election campaign.
