Putting Bush back into the White House


I was reading my local Indy paper at lunch today and read the feature about the protestors in NYC. Yay for them, I said. And then I started to read stuff like this :


….He doesn't vote. Voting at best is indirect action, he said, and changes nothing. XXX wants radical changes which means changing the world--directly….

En route, the group debated constantly whether to vote in November. Their decision? "Our motto is 'Beyond Voting.' If you vote, if you don't vote, that's one thing you do, one day a year. Real social change comes from organizing communities to achieve grassroots democracy." …

…Will she vote? I asked. The gist of her answer was, maybe

…but, since North Carolina's not a battleground state, he'll feel free to write in a candidate, knowing his vote won't sway the outcome….

….When I told her so, and that most of the protesters I'd met weren't interested in voting, or voting for Kerry anyway, she was visibly alarmed.


And then I said. Fuck them! Every vote not cast for Kerry is a vote cast for Bush. These selfish bastards have no business protesting anything because they don't care. They don't really care about anyone else or anything outside their narrow world veiw. They want to carry signs and get their chant on, but they don't want it enough to do the one thing in their power that can actually force change. Showing up is not enough. These are the ass holes that will get Shrub back into office.

These bastards are the best weapons the GOP has in its arsenal.
