LOL.... I think the same thing when I see democrats do the same thing..
Trust me, when I call a republican a right wing kook, am NOT after his vote. They are the party that needs to woo indies and the disenfranchised the most in the presidential arena.
They might have done very well in the last mid-term. But the reality is there is a A LOT of sticker shock among the indies who signed onto the Tea Party and then found out the old school neo-cons told them to take their seats and read from the script.
But if you believe that the democrats tell people "go insult those borderline republicans into joining us, you're higher than he is careless around perspective votes. ... I won't throw in the LOL cause i think you know I found it funny.

Like trying to attract Green voters by blaming Nader for Gore being in a race that was so tight that a vote of one secured the white house for Bush...It rather angered me to see Green voters attacked by democrats.
Ya know, I know we've messaged and i've offered a little family background. But I don't entirely follow the path.. so I hope I didn't mislead you, by not making my politics crystal clear. I know that happens sometimes given their history.
Funny thing... at the beginning of the two electoral cycles Ralph has been involved in, I was a supporter. he promised to tell the American people who was fucking them and name names. You will find that most of his sup[porters pulled up stakes in the first election and voted for gore. And democrats that know me weren't pitching that at all. Before or after. And I was a card carrying registrant of the Massachusetts Green Party. though, now I am listed as an independent. Do I vote democratic? yeah because most of the time, the greens or indies have presented LOUSY potential leaders within my reach. It's better in Cali I hear.
But the only explanation I've ever heard from any real players in the democratic strategy side of things is what the press reported, the democrats reported and the supreme court denied. That there were serious issues of fraud in the 2k election.
And I don;t know about the west coast, but I can say for sure here that the number of greens left in the east left them in a status with the democrats was "you're perfectly welcome with coming along with us. But if you don't we intend to let the voters know that a Ralph vote can only really be considered a protest vote, as opposed to a credible one".And that's a sound opinion, and not an insult to the intended recipient.
Although, I don't know what you experienced as a green in cali, if that's in fact the knowledgeable position you're selling the Nader thing from. I would think though you'd at least have to be hanging out with the gang to hear the pitch in the first place.
