There's no need to wait for someone on the to-this-point-imaginary left to start cutting deals with the more or less fascist right, because Democrats have been doing so for going on eight years now. If that's really what you're worried about, well, it's a done deal and Obama is lately at the forefront of it. Kevin, McCain wants to blow people up in Iraq and Obama wants to blow people up in Afghanistan. The latter has more people available, so at least in theory Obama has an advantage, and one could make a strong argument that he'll get more Americans killed than will McCain, disallowing for McCain being batshit crazy. Regarding Nader, not everything is the same as things to which they are similar. But Charles, that’s what Democrats are doing.

Of COURSE Richard Nixon destroyed the Republican party. They may be in power now, but it has been completely corrupted. In fact it was that newly corrupted party that took power and has been busy consolidating it ever since. One need look no further than Cheney and Rumsfeld and the ownership of information outlets for the first clue. I would prefer to not participate in a similar destruction of the Democratic party. “…Richard Nixon should have destroyed the Republican Party; in reality, they spent a mere six years in the wilderness and came back much stronger than they had been.”

Worked out really well for them, too. Well for Nader, anyway; for his voters, not so much. How many people are you willing to see killed on that gamble over the next eight years? How many Americans? Is shocking the country hard to the left an outcome worth buying at the cost of one or two malevolent and bloody McCain terms?
