I bit*ched my kid out six ways from Sunday for voting for Nader after the 2000 election. I had worked my tail off for Gore. Then, I watched this. And, I realized, it's not about who I want to win or who I think is the best candidate. Every American is born with the right to vote their own conscience.

And, shame on me for coming down on my son. Heck, looking back at it Gore picked Lieberman as his VP. Now, while I prefer to consider that a momentary lapse of judgment ... others might not.

So, positioning be damned -- Nader didn't lose 2000 for Gore - Kathryn Harris, the GOP machine,and the Supreme Court did - and, Nader had nothing to do with Kerry's 2004 loss.

Get over it, already. The Dems just aren't standing up/willing to lay it on the line for what they believe in, right now. Until the leadership gets an injection of courage, none of us (or Dem candidates) stand a chance.
