It's Heating Up

<< This time since we have a very credible un-endorsed by the AFL-CIO 
candidate running in Ralph Nader.  Nader should split or take a majority of 
the union "protest vote" from Bush.  This is one hell of a lot better 
situation than Bush
getting a full un-opposed 30% or more of the union vote. >>

Say what? I have seen leaps of logic in LBO discussions of electoral 
politics, but this one is up there with the best. Who in their right mind 
thinks that Nader is taking ANY votes from Bush, much less a union vote? If 
there ever was a classic white, middle strata base of support, it is the 
Nader campaign.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
