While I agree that there are certainly differences between the parties, one can hardly argue that they are worlds apart. After all, every administration, be it Democrat or Republican, has overseen increased defense budget spending, bloating of the budget in general and a (seeming) decrease in its culpability to the American public. All of the major party candidates this election cycle stand to further this trend. While Nader may be wrong, he's not that wrong.

I don't have much patience for the idea that Gore's election would have lead to a magical fairy America.
