There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans in spite of the reactionary left-wing view. There will be a marked improvement with Kerry and Nader could spoil it by his intransigence.
It is fitting, Doug, that you (I assume who are a Republican) would support Nader to bring Bush back.
The issue is this: do you want four more years of Bush? Then vote for Nader.
Frankly, I miss Bill Clinton. His administration showed deficit reduction, job growth and social services improvement. The economy was humming and he may be remembered for a time of prosperity for many and progressive ideas.
