Replying to a message of Jeff Binkley to Bob Ackley:

 JB> You may not like any of the candidates but you might want to stand up 
 JB> for your rights.  I am not real fond of some things McCain has backed
 JB> as  a senator but this election offers more of a contrast between the 
 JB> parties than anytime in the past 20 years.  Folks complained that the 
 JB> parties were too much alike.  The Democrats heard you and moved way
 JB> to  the left.

And the Republicrooks moved way to the right.  I suspect the vast majority of
the electorate doesn't like either extreme, and if NOTA were available there's
be an unprecedented housecleaning of the US government's elected officials.
Which, of course, is why NOTA will never happen.

To those who claim NOTA is a copout, I merely say that given an election with
only two candidates, Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer, which one do you vote
*for*?
