Come on Nader, Fess Up

Hey Nader, dude, just come out of the closet already -- admit you're a republican. It's OK. We're not going to think any less of you. At least this way, your run for the presidency will have context and make sense.

2008 is the year that the democrats almost can't lose. I say almost for two reasons. One, nothing is a sure bet in politics and two, the democrats have an uncanny knack of blowing those bets that are almost sure. Your run, mixed with good old fashioned democratic bungling, could be the one thing that keeps the republicans in charge of the white house. And even though I'm disgusted with Bush's eight years of mismanagement, I think it might be a good thing for four more years of republican rule.

If the democrats take the white house, they will have control of both the executive and the legistlative branches of the govenment. The republicans would still have a slight edge in the judicial and the Cheney branch would hopefully be dissolved altogether. The problem is that a lot of damage can be done when one party has control of both the executive and the legistlative branches as it takes quite a long time before a dangerous situation makes it to the judicial branch to be (hopefully) fixed.

So quit toying with us Nader. Even if you're not a republican. Even if you're just bi-partisan-curious, fess up. We'll still love you and you might be doing our country a favor this time instead of taking revenge on your old democratic cohorts.
