goodnews:
I detest Nader worse than Kerry. But.....No problem <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, I'll vote libertarian or something. I might even vote for Kerry, if I hold my nose. Be the first time ever for a Dem Presidential candidate and that covers ummmmm, about 9 elections. It won't matter tho, Bush has a firm hold on Texas.

It will all be prearranged, if it happens, which is unlikely. The only reason it comes up is because of politicians, thinking they knew better than the public and interfering with the election process via the Fed Election Commission and the taxpayer "dollar" checkoff. I NEVER give them a checkoff anymore BTW. It thrills me to see Reverend Sharpton spending taxpayer dollars for his $1000 dollar a night plus hotel bills, etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm not familiar enough with the intricacies of the law to comment, but it might be possible for Kerry to refuse the federal funds, but I doubt it, both for practical and legal reasons. Hillary won't be drafted AND to have any real future chance, she both has to go along with the Kerry scheme AND hope that he loses. Otherwise, assuming nothing happens to Pres. Kerry, she won't have a chance until 2012 when she would be pretty long in the tooth. Puts her and Billy Boy in a tough spot. Not that that breaks my heart. Another SOB that was President. Matter of fact, the only President I've really liked in the last 25 years or so was Bush I and he was an idiot to lose to Clinton, running the one of the worse campaigns in modern politics and having no clue until just before the election that he was in deep kimchi. I hope his son follows in his footsteps, just like he did in Iraq, but Shrub is a better politician than his father, he knows he is in deep kimchi, I think, or at least Rove does. That fact alone will cost more lives in Iraq, bet on it.
The reason, since I knew you would ask: among others, he won't send the numbers of troops needed to control post turnover Iraq, just as he hasn't up until now, because he knows that would sink his diminishing chances in the election.
