69. Nader is conservative? BTW, Nader was not responsible for putting Bush in office or for

keeping him there, either.

The 2000 election was a little bit of Republicans, gay marriage buggada buggada, Diebold, Brother Jeb and his Florida crew and the SCOTUS. Oh, and maybe even a litle Gore/Lieberman campaign.

Maybe even a little Clenis--or was it only an accident that a neo theo candidate who pandered to the religous right blatantly followed Clinton? And then, there was the disappointment of the members of the GLBT community and their supporters and others over DADT and various other Clinton-Gore triangulations and misadventures.

I've never voted anything but Democrat and probably never will, but blaming Nader is a misdiagnosis. Nader was no more responsible for Gore's loss than the RW third parties were responsible for Obama's win.

And, even if Nader were the reason, nothing, but nothing, gives Republicans and Democrats the right to be the only two parties in America, much as the two have joined hands to try to make that the practical reality.
