As an anarchist, I don't give a fuck who becomes president, since they all work for the rich, but let me point out a few basics of U.S. Government 101:

1) Any U.S. citizen over the age of 35 can run for president. The Greens have every right to run Ralph Nader as a candidate.

2) It could just as easy be argued that the SWP candidate cost Gore the presidency in Florida.

3) Or, it could be argued that Gore cost Nader the presidency.

I think Doug's earlier comment was the perfect retort to this renewed whining about Ralph Nader. I don't like that union-buster Nader, but I can't stand this stupid thinking from Democrats who can't think for themselves.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
