America "our Heroes"

We shall see.

Nader has yet to announce his intentions for this go-round.

One can only hope.

True, but if Nader does decide to run, his remaining intentions haven't changed in thirty years.

Nader is a very interesting guy.
He used to live right around the corner from a bar where I worked, and would ocassionally stop in for a burger.
He was a nerd then (1969) and is the same nerd now.
Probably wearing the same suit.
Unlike many of our current politicos however, Ralph has been a student of the American political process for his entire career.
He may not be wired into the "good ole boy" network like Dubya is, but I'll bet Nader knows more midlevel bureaucrats, aides and functionaries than anyone else. His grasp of the nuts and bolts of government is probably without equal today.
I also think that love'em or hate 'em, any thoughts expressed by Nader are more than likely his alone, not the result of coaching or focus groups.

He is smarter than the average bear.

Ralph Nader is a passionate, passionate man.
Even though more goddamn democrats exist today than repulbicans, we collectively are spineless.
If all the demos who said "don't vote nader, it gives votes to bush" voted for Nader, he'd be in office.

Maybe.

We may have the opportunity to rectify that unfortunate trend next year.

Nope... Not gonna happen. Mostly 'cause in a country of 200 mil people, 99.9/100ths of 'em are f'cking idiots.

Then I guess it's up to you and j2 to decide things for us.

Good luck.

To return to the original question, "did they save Britian?".
No they didn't , they occupied it , filled it with Air bases and nuclear weapons and then subjected it to more than 60 years of a-historical blatherings about how it should be thankful for the fact that they intervened about 3 years into the war once Britian was in a weak state and the US had been attacked by the Japs.
