Why bother?

I'm way past  the time when I voted on principle. Ralph Nader wants to be president, and to get there he will be hammering at the Democrats, once again, pushing more people into the arms of the dysfunctional Republican party. And yes, I am talking about independent voters who believe that John McCain is the best alternative to Hilary Clinton or Barak Obama. We have already seen the kind of damage Nader and his single digit has in an election. Nader may not he able to derail the Juggernaut that is Barak Obama, but do you really want to take the chance? Do we really need John McCain as president?
