The thing that is most disgusting is his obvious contempt for his
"constituency". He is supporting the war 'cuz he can', and the suckup
ABB'ers are just gonna slavishly support him because their capitalist
masters arent gonna give them any other choice.

And while they sit dutifully at his hobnail boot they will howl and
snap at the Nader campaign like the cur they are.

Such is what you get when you support 'the lesser evil'...

Solidarity,

Jack
