five thousand shades of blue

WARNING! Political rant to follow:
I never thought I'd be quoting Pat Buchanan in my journal (from ABC.com): “Mr. Nader got, I believe in the neighborhood of 2.5 million votes. You can spread those any way you want, and it would have given Mr. Gore the election, state after state after state. So what I think we have seen here is the lethal power of third parties in American politics.”
*sigh* Nader devotees really should have done a little research into the Anderson campaign of 1980. It's what put Reagan into office. Those who pay no heed to history are doomed to repeat it... and doom us all as well.
Politics suck. To be forced to choose the lesser of two evils is a lousy way to run a country. But realistically, if voting for the candidate of your dreams results in the
greater of the two evils taking the office... what has been accomplished?
is
this just not enough…?
