Nader? He's a good guy, did a lot of great work over the years, but I think lately he's lost his mind. I mean, for four decades he's been on the right side of just about every battle...he's been fighting big corporations since before it was cool. I wish he'd gotten into politics earlier, like during the Clinton years. He would have made things interesting, because he really adressed the issues that Clinton and Dole wouldn't touch. People blame him for supposedly throwing the election to Bush in 2000, but I think his candidacy was important...Bush and Gore weren't different at all, and we really did need an alternative, even if that alternative had no chance of winning. In 2004, however, I think he fucking lost it. He knew that it was important that the left unite to defeat Bush, even if Kerry was a shitty candidate...he should have swallowed his pride and gotten behind him. But he didn't. He wanted more attention. That really made me mad. I might vote for him in 2008 if he runs, though, depending on who the Democrats and Republicans field...if it's McCain vs. Hilary, I'm voting Nader.

Clinton vs. Rice I would say.... McCain as a Veep maybe. And as for Ralphy, he sucks. He made his money from the same companies that he hates so much. Fucking hypocrite!

Hey, who deleted my post? Watch what you're cutting, I didn't say anything unusual.
