"That would be telling".
to quote Bing Crosby in White Christmas
"Everybody has an angle".
to use as an example It's a wonderful life
Authoritatrian criers and everything is the same criers would tell Clarence, don't save George Baily, because he is not a number, he is a free man and who wants a Nanny state intervening in his personal decision to (changing the location from the bridge to the voting booth) vote for Ralph Nader to prove they know better.
to quote Billy Joel
"A bottle of red
A bottle of white
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead.
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place"
at the voting booth in 2013 and 2014 I know who I am voting FOR.
I am not going in there and voting against just to return to the restaurant and ask the waiter to pour me another bottle of whine
BTW, even if there is a minute difference in the rates at the end of the day,
to not attempt to come up with a deal in effect is causing way more people to lose money day to day, than to sit tight and have it voted down because the votes are not there.
BTW, at the end of the day, Bernie Sanders is going to be the 60th vote if a 60th vote is needed, much like dennis Kucinich on Health Care was.
one is free to protest, however, like Kris Kristofferson said (C)
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"
AND the next morning or later that night, freedom allows one to howl at the moon forever in what that freedom gotten, meant lost for all including the one that claims they are free, when in reality they are not free at all, but still howling at the moon.
BTW-to add-
winning is being seated.
Saying Gore won is shifting the blame from Nader but still blaming something
ah, could it be you are blaming SCOTUS then?
BINGO- SCOTUS, the tell all to end all that Nader was a LIAR BIG TIME, because SCOTUS is the most transparent place where Gore and Bush and REpubs/dems are NOT one and the same.
Had we had Kagen/Sotomayer back in 2000 instead of 2 of the treachourous 5, do you think Gore would have been seated or not?
Please do tell. It would be telling.
