For 1 - Not join either of those parties or send them my money. 2 - As often as feasible vote for candidates from a different party. (Whether someone is on the ballot or not doesn't stop you from writing in.) But this particular issue in this thread highlights a disparity which I find appalling. On one side, you have the supposedly non partisan board of elections who is supposed to oversee and stop improprieties doing something that violates their own rules, on the other side you have the democrats suing to make them abide by their own rules. I seem to recall quite a few righties defending the Bush team suits in the Supreme Court during 2000 because he was just suing to stop the shenanigans and make them stick to the rules that were already in place. If those people weren't being partisan, actually believed that, and aren't hypocrites, than they should be on the democrats side of this issue. So you agree that there should be a third party, but don't agree there should be a third party on the ballot. But you want the third party recognized, but you don't want the court to decide it. Right?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DO want the court to decide it. Only because the Election Board has shown they are biased and not following their own rules. Again, follow the logic. The court was in the process of determining if Nader was eligilbe to be on the ballot. The Election board decided to put him, and no other third parties, on the ballot anyway. Why?

Probably because of time constraints. It takes a while to get the absentee ballots printed and mailed and recieved and sent back. If they are printed w/o his name and the courts decide to allow it - it would be pretty confusing, no? Then there would be a nice law suit if there are any questions about florida like there were last time. Unless you would hold up an election because the courts took too long to decide something?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You see, there's this swamp land I think you'd like to buy from me. Can you get all the printing & mailing done in time? When is the decision going to be made? How long do we have to get all the ballots out.(How much time can the USPO guarantee - oh wait they don't do that do they.)I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course, the same DEMOCRATIC FLORIDA SUPREME COURT wouldn't be stalling for time so that Nader COULDN'T be put on the ballot, no, no...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
