GUEST, you are deluded.

1) If I had an intense hatred of Nader, would I say he has many admirable qualities? In reality, I don't hate him at all. I just don't want him to be president. I don't hate lots of people, but don't want them to be president, including my whole family and most of my friends! By the way, many of Nader's employees over the years have found him exploitative, vindictive, and dishonest. But he IS, perhaps, the closest to incorruptible in the race. Unfortunately, incorruptible and ineffective wouldn't help much right now, with a Republican congress in power.

2) Do you really think we would be at war with Iraq if Gore were president? There is no evidence at all of this, and I doubt it very deeply.

3) from your post above it is clear that YOU are the one with intense, blinding hatred. You call nearly EVERY democrat AND republican "despicable and corrupt." That's hatred. I said about Nader "he has many admirable qualities, but I don't want him to be president." That is NOT hatred.
