ineffectual strawman: at no time was it suggested you voted for gore. in fact, the post assumed you did not vote for gore. re read it, and then respond to the words in the post itself if you desire.
and, if your choice is: statism vs. statism lite, then i will vote for neither

I understand that position. I just don't understand why you would try to influence (or even care about) that which you've decided not to influence. If you feel the President is "blowing it" then you ought to be celebrating as it will make way for your guy to win next time.
