"I thought I was voting for Gore but voted for
Buchanan."
"I thought I was voting for a 'compassionate
conservative' but voted for a drunk driver who puts innocent
people to death and wants to increase government
spending."
"I thought I was voting for someone who wants to
'keep prosperity going' but voted for someone who is
proposing drastic environmental policies which may cut
national output by twenty-five percent."
"I thought
I was voting for someone who crusades against
wealth and hypocrisy and lives an austere life, but I
voted for someone who lives in a two million dollar
mansion and has bought stock in a competitor of a company
he's about to sue on sixty different
occassions."
"I thought I was voting for a
[libertarian/constitution/natural law] candidate, but my state's electoral
commission ruled that his signatures to get on the ballot
were fraudelent, without offering any evidence or
chance of appeal."
What's the difference among
any of the above?
