I would be lying if I didn't say that I'd feel temped to do such a thing to Nader, but it really isn't right.
I just heard a Oregoian call into a radio talkshow yesterday {Fri} who say "The Oregonian" [newspaper] reported that there was a message from the RNC [Republican national Committe- i'm sure you all almost recognize the acronym, but just in case someone less informed drops in here] on Friday that some time this pass week were alerting Republicans to go to this event for Nader where people needed 1,000 signatures to get him on the Oregon ballot, and sign the petition to siphon votes away from Kerry since the state is considered a swing state.
ANd if any of you are shocked that I would admit to such a temptation....it is because I know people who are poor, I know people who have become disabled for various reasons. I became poor myself about 10 yrs after having been, oh, lower-middle Middle Class.
My parents {who made it into the MC after growing up poor to lowerclass} basically taught me to respect all people and that included being empathetic/sympathetic to poor people {as Jesus taught- 'do for the least of these you do to me'} etc, since "there by the grace of God go you and I", who knows what might happen to each of us if a confluence of difficult, bad events converge circumstancially around the same time.
Team Bush has already cut health services for the poor, Federal monies fotr Housing, job training & retraining programs. Can you understand why people might be temped to feel that way.
