Thread Name: BS: Nader & the Liberal Virus-NYT interview
Subject: RE: BS: Nader & the Liberal Virus-NYT interview
Guest: Is that not similar to the events in Florida (and other places) in 2000?
         Would that Nader would retire with dignity and not create the same problem that he created last time.   My own feeling is that a vote for Nader is a vote for Narcisism. He could leave the stage with dignity and not as, some wag said recently "...stick to look at auto's rear ends and seat belts".
          Personally, I have never felt as strongly about an election as this one. Provided there is no coup I would hope that W is gone after this one---think of how we have rolled back time in his brief tenure---Social Security, Economy, Defense, and world opinion.
          Sadly, after 9-11 we had the moment when all civilized peoples could unite and empathize. Blown away---by W's own doing.
         Now the commission is finally going to interview him--with his VP. Think about that. When ever did a sitting Pres. need his VP to be there---or as some wag said recently---"...when W speaks will Cheney be drinking water"? Or, as I say---will we see Cheney move his lips?
          So--back to Nader. For once he should put his vanity aside for the greater good and those who would vote for him should realize that once again they are wasting a vote that might keep this administration afloat.

PS--why do we allow GUEST signatures? Makes one think about asking---who was that masked man---OH he was a guest. Anonymity leads to "crank" notes and notes by people to afraid of ashamed of their comments.   If one believes something---defend it and announce yourself.
