...corrupt, evil, and that Dems = Repubs, blah, blah, blah, who refuse to live in the real world, where imperfection and compromise are necessary. What, do away with corporations, for instance? Are you kidding? And cause the collapse of the economy? What's needed is stricter regulation of them, and a mixed economy like the one they have in Western Europe works better, methinks (see Paul Krugman's recent assessment of the health of Europe's economy vis-a-vis the US one today).

No one is perfect, is what I'm saying, and the well-intentioned Dems will support whoever turns out to be the nominee (most of them on either side, I'm sure). A Dem is still very different from a Repub. Just watch the Republican debates - I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, or a time-space warp, listening to what their concerns and solutions are.

Oh, and yes, the Naderites really succeeded in turning around the results of the elections to their liking last time, didn't they?
