I guess I have just become more establishmentarian in my old age.

My only complaint about Nader, Kucinich, etc is that they are not consensus builders. And they don’t even want to be. Whatever happened to all that talk Nader had about building a Green party. Only to ditch it in 2004. Baah! I feel like I was sold a bill of goods in 2000 and that my idealism was taken for granted. Whatever one’s politics, it is important to remember that the process is always one of compromise and that is not a bad thing per se. Bush is what you get when you don’t see the value of compromise.

But I agree with your basic premise. A Ron Paul presidency would be interesting because I think it is the only thing that could truly break the back of special interests and their stranglehold over the treasury. He is contrarian enough. But at least he has the dignity to run on principle and not some delusion that he is building a new party which is more than I can say for Nader.

Americas beginning was sparked in an experiment, I say let that experiment continue! Let’s face it; the Left is the mommy, the Right is the daddy & the media is their bitchy little children. I’m tired of being subjected to the roll of family therapist.

Paul + Kucinich with Nader as Attorney General, now that would be must see T.V. !
