NOAM CHOMSKY EXPLAINS WHY THE
LEFT WING SHOULD VOTE FOR KERRY

Sure, voting for Kerry will feel like having a tequila hangover, but it's much better than the feeling of Montezuma's Revenge that would most certainly accompany another Bush victory. From
Noam Chomsky's blog:

It doesn't take a microscope to see these differences. Many on the left seem far too casual about them, in my opinion. Not only is that wrong in itself, but it completely nullifies any possibility of appealing to the natural constituency of the left, at home or abroad. How far do you think one will get organizing people by saying, for example, we simply don't give a damn about the fact that you'll suffer more from Bush-style dismantling of the progressive achievements of the past century than by the programs of the political opposition?

In other words, Bush is doing, and will continue to do if reelected, real and significant damage to both America and the world. Even though I hate the corporate-friendly style of such "New Democrats" as Kerry, I'd be a fool not to see that four more years of Bush will cause irreparable harm.


Pass the tequila; I'm swallowing the worm.
