FUCK THE GREEN PARTY - 22k votes in VA

[Herman Munster]

allen leads by 3k now.

[NOLADEM]

1. I hate those motherfuckers so much

Anyone voting Green right now is a motherfucking pinhead.

[tuvor]

5. But not as much as those who chose not to vote today.

Right?

[BreweryYardRat]

8. Imbeciles everywhere.

If you don't want to vote, fine, stay home. In the current political climate, voting Green for anything more than State legislature is a bad move.

[Phrogman]

10. In America people have the right to vote as they see fit.

you're attitude and language is offensive and uncalled for.

[johnnyrocket]

2. Exactly, who the FUCK voted for the green?!!?!?

This is ridiculous!! Webb should be plowing ahead, this SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!

[GreenArrow]

32. bigger question?

Who the fuck voted for George Allen?

What, is half the state of Virgina comprised of knuckle dragging racists?

14. You like Allen eh?

Those people are fucking stupid.

[geek tragedy]

15. Enjoy George Allen serving six more years. eom

[skipos]

26. It does suck when people don't look at the big picture

Allen is HORRIBLE. A Republican majority is HORRIBLE. Anyone rational progressive person should be able to recopgnize that Webb and a Dem majority would be better for America.

[TahitiNut]

29. Then CONVINCE the voters.

There's no shortcut and blaming other candidates is just a waste of time and energy.

[John Gauger]

27. I voted Green in three races.

They were not on the ballot so I wrote in: Rogers for gov. (Rendell has won;) Local Green for Senate (I don't want to put his name on the Internets; Casey has won;) Irvin for State Assembly (I have not been following this race but Irvin did not vote for the pay raise and that's all that matters to me for SA;) I voted Avillo for House (no precincts reporting.) Don't let them intimidate you, buddy. You vote for whomever you want. I would not have voted Green in that race but I don't blame them: Webb is actually a Republican, after all. All I care about is the balance of power, but maybe they care about other issues.

[IndyOp]

4. Possible fraud... Easy to move Dem votes to Green by 'mistake'...

Recount!

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[blm]

23. Exactly - they're the gift that keeps on giving for Repubs.

If they really cared, they'd stick to state races and stay out of DC ones they know will be close.

[skipos]

6. Hey, Greens are just doing their job

Getting
Republicans
Elected
Every
November

[Irreverend IX]

22. FUCK the Greens.

Ralph Nader's brain-damaged children need to be flushed into the dustbin of history before they can do any more damage.

[Skinner]

7. If they spoil virginia...

...I'm right there with you. Fuck 'em.

[DancingBear]

36. Great

Why let somebody's conscience get in the way of a perfectly good "THIS is how you should vote!" mantra.

People have the right to vote HOW THEY SEE FIT, whether or not it spoils the party.

To think otherwise is to be no better than those whom we mock.

Every "progressive" here who calls for litmus tests should be ashamed of themselves.

At last look, it was STILL America.

Not much left to it, but it still doesn't tell you how to vote.

Or make you.

If that's where we're going here, it might be time to get off the bus.

[tuvor]

9. You should be blaming those who chose not to vote.

I'll bet they number a bit more than 3,000.

[Ekirh]

11. I believe. .

You have the right to vote for whomever you want.


I also reserve the right to say . .thanks for fucking it up for us bitches grrrrr...

[bowens43]

12. They keep fucking america.

goddamn greens. I hate those bastards. They're nothing but a bunch of ethically bankrupt mental midgets.

[marlakay]

13. We should fight to vote like SF

They have this first vote second vote where if the first person you vote for doesn't win it goes to the second or something like that?????

[Sparkly]

16. You know that's an unpopular position here, among many....

But I'm with you. Why CLAIM to be "progressive" when in EFFECT, you're accomplishing the opposite?!?

Why not move your agenda in a way that allows PROGRESS to be made on it?!??

No wonder the GOP loves them.

[LeftCoast]

17. You might as well blame 22k republicans

They're GREENS not Democrats. What do you expect?

[AntiWarPoster]

21. why?

because democratic control of the senate is more important than giving a wasted vote to a green.

[deadparrot]

18. Yeah, I'll be pissed.

Good vibes being sent to VA.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. Ain't Over Yet! Webb Will Pull It Out!

But, Fuck the greens anyway!

[mike_c]

20. I support greens 100 percent....

Instead of dissing liberals, dems need to ask why they lost those votes. Over and over the dems fail to represent the left, then complain when the left doesn't support them. Clue: that's how democracy works.

[Deja Q]

25. I'm not a fan of the green party, but you are CORRECT.

It is up for the candidates to make the strongest case for themselves, and the party they stand for.

Period.

[kiahzero]

30. Getting those 22,000 votes would cost a lot more than that.

Chasing crazy Green party voters who can't see the forest for the trees is not the way to win elections in Virginia.

[nini]

35. exactly

you said it better than I did.

[mike_c]

40. then don't complain when liberals don't support candidates...

...who disdain their votes.

[nini]

I"m so fucking sick of this shit

Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and vote for someone who may not be your first choice to get the big prize.


Why don't you fucking ask why all the Dems don't go green if you're the right fucking answer right now.

Yes, it's a democracy, but we have to have some sense and vote for what is best for the country now.. voting green in VA is not the best thing to do right NOW.

[skipos]

34. Over and over the Greens stick us with Republicans and then complain

that America continues to go down the toilet. I'll give many Greens credit though. While Nader tricked many out of voting for Gore with his "no difference between Gore and Bush" lie, 85% Nader's supporters bailed out on his ass in 2004. Too bad so many had to learn the hard way.

[TahitiNut]

37. Absolutely!! There one thing that's CERTAIN when Dems blame Greens.

That is those Dems haven't figured out how to EARN their votes!

Blame is the lazy person's way to avoid work and responsibility.

[charlie]

48. Ayup

Easier to whack a Green, though.

[Deja Q]

Fuck Webb for not making the best case.

I'm sorry, but it is up to the candidate to impress the most voters.

How the hell can a candidate who can only grab 3% be blamed for anything? 3% is NOTHING.

[kiahzero]

33. 3% is significantly larger than the margin of this election.

Fuck stupid Green party voters.

[skipos]

39. And I guess fuck Lamont too? Greens ran against him in CT.

Lamont must not have made a very good case there.

[nini]

24. Enough of those fuckers

What do they not get about the stakes here?


They make zero fucking sense voting Green in a close/critical seat like that.

FUCK THEM is an understatement to how I feel right now. hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Catchawave]

28. Protest votes ?

By Broken Glass Republicans who can't stand Allen either :shrug:

[Cameron27]

31. If Allen wins

I agree.....fuck em.

[iamthebandfanman]

38. now now

simmah down naaah

[muntrv]

41. The Greens have a right to vote the way they did. Just don't bitch about

Felix for 6 more years.

[Blue-Jay]

42. How many elections will the Greens lose for us?

What fucking point are you shits trying to prove? YOU elected Bush. YOU elected Macacawitz (or so it appears)

Are you happy yet?

[porphyrian]

43. It's not their fault, it's the failing of the VA Democratic party...

...to persuade independents to vote Democratic. Don't blame the fair competition just because you didn't win. It makes you look like a tantrum-throwing child and you lose respect.

[redherring]

44. Prince William County-only 23% reported

Something tells me the election boils down to Prince William!

[mainegreen]

45. Yes, as that's a *great* way to win votes. And it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Have absentee ballots been counted?
Has there been a re-count?

Don't jump the gun. And don't think screaming "effing greens" will ever help defeat republicans.

[philosophie_en_rose]

46. The Cult of Nader

Beloved by the republicans since 2000.

[the_outsider]

47. I don't think Partker is 'green party'. He is 'independent green'.

[Blue-Jay]

49. Well, THAT makes all the difference in the world.

[JMDEM]

50. I've heard this too. He's NOT GREEN. He's sorta just independent

Probably takes away votes from both sides.

[Skinner]

51. Locking.

We don't need this kind of flame bait yet.

If the Greens *do* spoil virginia, THEN Fuck 'em.
