The most anti-democratic process actions taken in this entire campaign
has
been the Democratic Party's legal campaign to removed Ralph Nader from
the
ballots. Its disgusting. Someone explain to me why a candidate for
federal
office can be on ballots in some states and not in others? Supreme
court
needs to fix this.

Normally I would agree with you. But, in my opinion along with millions
in
this country and billions around the world, this is too election is too
important for Nader to be flaunting his ego.


So, because you want your guy to win **** the law, **** the process, and
**** integrity. Nader has as much right to run as anyone. If it screws
your guy, then that's to damn bad. Unless you can come up with a way to
win
that doesn't disenfranchise the people who wish to vote for him, you just
have to accept what happens.

Actually, surprisingly, this is one on which I concur with you. Nader should
be allowed to run, no matter how critical and divisive an election this may
be.

To prevent Nader is being antithetical to the idea of democracy and th
Democrats are definitely the villains in this context.

However, I hope you have the mental clarity to realize that the GOP is not
helping Nader get his name onto various states's ballots out of some
magnanimous principle to further the cause of democracy.
