 And thus one more vote for Bush.  Unless one views Gore and Bush as equally 
 unpalatable, this is a stupid choice.

If the Democrats lose this election because of the Nader vote, they have only 
themselves to blame for the years of abuse & betrayal of the left who are 
forced year after year to hold their noses & vote for the lesser of two 
evils.  In 1964 we had the choice of Goldwater & LBJ.  A lot of people whose 
names are now carved in stone on a black wall in Virginia held their noses & 
voted for LBJ.
I'm sorry, but I am sick of this "a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush" 
prattle.
