the only difference is that Palin represents what Repukes do and Nader is a Repuke claiming to be a Democrat.

Come on. It still makes me sick what he did in 2000, but given all he has done as a consumer advocate, I would never call him a Repuke.

He's like the middle aged guy sitting on a barstool in any small town, blathering on about how he scored the winning touchdown back in 1961. Sad really.

I held a world of respect and admiration for him as a consumer advocate.

That's partially why it's so disheartening to see how he's pissed it all away. Hubris.

prior to the 2000 election, I held the guy in high regard.

once he ran off president, I knew then that he was just showboating.

I'm surprised you wouldn't have had to change it before now, but that's the new DU.
