Oh boy, I look forward to another 6 months of Nader bashing by people who can't get over the 2000 election.
All the crap that we got from Bush was aided and abetted by most of our Democratic senators and congressmen, both before and after the 2006 election upheaval. We still have Democrats in both houses voting for the patriot act, to continue warantless wiretapping, support for torture, kissing the fleshy backside of Wall Street. You can claim that Bush is responsible for all of this but he couldn't do it without help from the Democrats, including the two presidential frontrunners. Does anyone really believe that if Obama or Hillary win that they are actually going to end the war? That they have any idea why our economy is in the toilet or how to get it out?
Regarding the 2000 election and the upcoming election. Not voting for Nader does not translate to voting for the Democrat. If Nader wasn't running in 2000, I still wouldn't vote for Gore and his dirtbag running mate Lieberman. I would have voted for the Green Party or the Worker's Socialist Party or even the Libertarian Party. Same thing this year: if Obama or Hillary don't give me a good reason to vote for them, I'm not going to do it.
