Nader-Am I missing the Point(s)?

[Hari Kumar <hari.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Michael:
Sincerely, am not trying to stir the pot.
Of course given the situation, it is not unreasonable that participants
feel agitated on this matter. I do fully respect & applaud your sterling
efforts to keep sane discussion here - rather than a virulent insanity -
on this list. But a certain degree of heat on this one is probably
inevitable, & possibly healthy?

Forgive me participants, but your USA scene is so odd I really do need help.
The thesis seems to be that: Kerry not very dissimilar to Bush.
OK - I agree - Kerry is pretty pro-USA-imperialist.

But: What is the Nader programme all about? Is the only reason to vote
for him that it is not allowing "the avalanche" of votes for the Dems?
What does/whom does Nader represent?
Is the recent kerfuffle/postings on the list about the 3rd party force,
suggesting that Nader is that?
Sorry to be so slow.
Thanks,
Hari
