I Wanted to Hate Nader For this Soooo Much



In the interests of full disclosure, I voted Nader in 2000 (no, not in Florida; I voted in DC where my vote had all the import of an ice cube in the Sahara).

I've always respected his single-mindedness and willingness to speak truth to power. That said, when I saw the "he talks white" blurb posted all over the Net, I figured the old crank had finally gone over the cliff.

However... when you actually listen to what Ralph says, there's more than a drop of truth. I do get the sense that Obama does self censor and as impressive as his "small donor" fund-raising is, we all know that those aren't just auto mechanics and college kids sending in $20 a piece.
