This summer, swarms of Democratic Party lawyers, propagandists, harassers and assorted operatives have been conducting an unsavory war against my campaign's effort to secure a spot on the presidential ballots in various states. It is not enough that both major parties, in state after state, have used the legislatures to erect huge barriers, unique among Western democracies, to third party and independent candidacies. Now they are engaging in what can only be called dirty tricks and frivolous lawsuits to keep me and my running mate, Peter Miguel Camejo, off the ballot while draining precious dollars from our campaign chest.
Ralph, what the hell are those of us that want Bush out of office supposed to do in the face of your indifference to the facts?
What facts? Among others, that the majority-takes-all of electoral college mechanics means that we don't have more than two parties. And Ralph, as if you haven't been cozy with the GOP to get where you want this summer. You're a great guy with great ideas, but goddamnit... there are vastly superior ways you could affect change on the side of good instead of the side of (as we say in the South) shitting in the punch bowl.
