Wel, Cian will be happy with this anyway… It’s interesting, on one hand I appreciate the fact that he’s not letting the establishment keep him down and he seems to be a genuine believer in what he does, but on the other hand, having ruined Gore’s Presidential bid and such it seems somewhat absurd to throw your hat in the ring again. Following the break there is Nader on meet the press. It’s interesting how he justifies his run in 2000 and pointing out how he didn’t rob Gore of the presidency

Why! he has about as much chance as a snowball in hell. He has never been popular with anyone but fringe groups, even before he started to run for President. He is a loser and anyone that backs him is too. Get a life.

Fuck Nader. He doesn’t want to win, he has special interests paying him to disrupt the election so that McCain wins. Nader is a liar and doesn’t believe a word he’s saying. He’s just a tool to get another loser Republican in office.

Well, given the fact that those fringe groups represented some 3 million people I don’t really think that you can call them ‘fringe’. Also Tom, I don’t really appreciate being called a ‘loser’ because I agree that American democracy is a bit restricted in terms of a pretty weak two-party system that doesn’t represent the majority of Americans. And regarding the second post, count yourself that I don’t delete posts that are generally abusive. Tho, your opinion would be of more interest if you backed up your statement with some evidence.

Well, you know my position on this. As one Economist.com reader commented, “someone needs to take “Old Yeller” out behind the shed”.
I like the new template btw. Good stuff.

‘Old Yeller’ … bless! Still, he’s got somewhat of a point,tho as someone said he’s ”basically Edwards without the electibility or Kucinich without the hot wife”..
You like the template? I keep thinking the words are too small…
