Reply #9: Y'know what was funny? How many DUers decided to shoot the messenger.

Because the messenger happened to be Ralph Nader, of all people. That kind of stupidity is what undoes democracy. That kind of blind, rank, and boorish partisan zealotry only helps to destroy democracy by driving out people who would be good leaders but for the fact that they can't tolerate dealing with the ideologically blind on top of dealing with obviously corrupt politicians. So it ends up becoming a vice: On one side you have partisan hacks, and on the other you have corrupt thugs of special interest groups.
