I don't like the situation any more than you do, GiGi. I don't like the fact that Dennis Kucinich, my candidate of choice, was cut out of the debates and generally shoved into the corner and ignored. He eventually felt it necessary to withdraw and go home to campaign for re-election as senator if he was to have any voice in the government at all. I respect him for having the sense to keep on fighting, even if he wasn't able to do it the way he really wanted to.

I am plenty familiar with Nader the consumer advocate, Nader the politician, and Nader the man. He has some good things going for him. But he's no Dennis Kucinich.

"If Nader isnt on my ballot, I won't vote for president. Period."

That's really mature, there, GiGi. Rather than stain your spotless integrity, you would rather just crawl under your bed and give up entirely. I guess it's going to take people such as myself and a number of others here, with a grasp of the real world and a willingness to try to make the best of a less than ideal situation, to save your sorry rump for you.
