132. I definitely agree with you but I am having a tough time with our
new definition of terms. I have referred to Kerry and politicians like him as a Bush* enabler for the duration of time I have been at DU -- not too long after its inception. That term seems to have taken on a new definition within this thread.

I certainly have no intention of voting for Nader, but I think it's healthy to learn why other liberals are supporting him. I guess it could get out of hand, and this site could be virtually taken over by an onslaught of a third-party's supporters; but with the ever increasing aggression of current posters, I think there would be no problem beating the interlopers back without the help of the moderators.

I hate to think of this website, of all places, becoming narrow-minded and intolerant.

And on that rare occasion when a poster here states he or she will be voting for Bush* -- I am so startled I usually have to read it twice. It's been educational, though, reading the reasons why because quite frankly I have never understood how anyone could vote for that man. Since I never visit the freeper websites, I think it is educational to have a diversity of opinion here within reasonable limits. Reasonable limits is defined as within boundaries that do not destroy the essence of this place.

In any event, you and I are substantially in agreement.
