why stress over Nader?
We're assured now of a nominee who will studiously court the middle and soft-right - that's where all the votes are, right? - and comfortably ignore progressives. It has to be the right strategy, or their strategists wouldn't steer them that way. What's to worry?

3. Because someone has a long standing sexual crush on Nader
but unable to come out of the closet, they are reduced to saying "Fuck Nader."

14. It won't end until the Republicans lose the White House
A Democratic victory this November does not mean that the fight is all over, as we bitterly found out with the Pelosi/Reid Congress, but it would be a good start.

Shalom!

32. This post is sick and inappropriate.
If I were to speculate on your sexuality that would be considered the height of creepiness; don't think that because I am male that you have license to victimize and traumatize me with this clear sexual harassment.

12. and Bloomberg makes 3?
At this point, what I'm worried with is what will happen on the state and local level, as it looks as though the corporate Dems have managed to assure themselves of yet another defeat.

15. personally, I love the Bloomberg threat.
It exposes the "centrist" desire to freeze things as they are right now, with maybe a minor tweak here or there.

31. I'm rather hoping for that too, at this point
It'll hinder both major parties in their attempts to pander to the ephemeral "center" -who I suspect Bloomber would represent.

Then again, who knows -he might just end up with the most progressive plans in the race....

18. Well, I believe that Nader and his followers are re-
sponsible for 1,000,000+ deaths. That doesn't let the supremes off the hook either

20. Those who do not learn the lessons of history
are doomed to repeat them.

That's why.
