Democrat's Apathy For Unions Is Suicide

73. Gore would have been an excellent President

But regardless, what I have learned in 38 years of voting and watching politics is that the worst Democrat is better than then best Republican. And that is true because of the power of legislative majorities and the USSC.

There will ALWAYS be voters that cross party lines, and in most cases they cancel each other out. But the history of presidential elections is pretty clear. When a party is divided among two candidates in a race where both lean toward the same agenda the united party wins. Nader did in fact bring us Bush, just like Perot gifted us with Clinton.

I believe Naderites don't like to own the responsibility for it because the consequences were devastating.

Nader gives a good speech like lots of other candidates, but he has an ego the size of Montana. I've seen him in action a few times, but the worst impression I ever got of him was watching him berate a FA on an airplane because he thought the seats in coach didn't give him enough leg room. Apparently he thought the FA was personally responsible for that situation, or perhaps the fact that he could not afford a first class seat. But this particular incident was well after he had anointed Bush as president. So maybe he was just angry and bitter at himself at that point.
