- More than any other single factor, people who voted for Nader (or should that be ''Nadir''?) in 2000 to "make a statement" are responsible for giving us the Bush near-dictatorship. In their absence, nothing else - the Florida fiasco, pre-programmed voting machines, whatever - would have prevented the country from electing President Gore*.
Add the Naderites to the short-focus Clinton supporters who claim they''ll switch to McCain as some kind of nutty "revenge" against the shabby treatment she received, and Bush Part 3 is a done deal.
Memo to both groups of spoiled petulants: politics is about compromise and achievability, not purity. Get over it!!
(*) Does anyone else remember than Al got almost 600,000 more votes but still "lost" ??? - Reply to this comment

- A man/woman that took his kids to worship in a church that slander america and black people will never become the nominee if he/she were white.But a black candidate can do all sorts of things including membership in a black theology church and still be the nominee of the Dems.This is hypocrisy and this democrat will not stand for it.VOTE McCain fellow clintonites.

- I hope Nader does take part in the debates so he can be exposed as the mindless troll he is.
I''m waiting to hear his solutions and I fully expect to continue waiting. He''s all rhetoric and no practical problem solving. - Reply to this comment
"Nader/Gonzalez. Shift the power from the few to the many. Free our government of corporate domination. Restore the sovereignty of an engaged people. Don''t fall for the trick."
Thank you Mr. Nader and Mr. Gonzales!
Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, Ron Paul...so many qualified candidates to choose from this year.
I am looking forward to debates that include all of these voices.- Reply to this comment
- If you were to vote for another Republican Presidential Candidate such as John McCain who will carry forward the same (and, possibly worse?) Conservative Polices. You will be voting for higher fuel and energy costs, along with fewer jobs, and higher costs of everything else that needs to be transported.
The Republican Party doesn%u2019t care what Americans think of the results of their policies, they believe that Americans will continue to vote against their own better interests because of some old preacher, or lapel pins, TERRI SCHIAVO, or something else that has no relation to the real issues they attempt to promote.
If you choose to not vote for either of the two major party candidates, please consider
THINKING about what is in your own personal better interest before you cast your vote. - Reply to this comment
