I find myself thinking about the Nader spoiler, too. I have friends who still won't admit that their votes for Nader ruined it for Gore, and yet they're the most vocal against Bush now. At the time, they absolutely insisted that "there is no difference in the candidates." Please. They were still ragging about Clinton's not being progressive enough and how once we got the system out of the way, a third-party candidate could usher in the way to the real democracy!

Anybody (as someone here said), who lived through Vietnam could see the difference -- it doesn't matter what earthtones Gore wore, or how bad a candidate he was. His heart has always been in the right place. And it's not just the war that has ruined this country for generations. It's the ebbing away of our freedoms, and everything else.
