Nader Again Refuses Dems' Request He Quit

What is up with the Democratic Party? Ralph Nader has every right to run for office, and his supporters have every right to support him. This is the essence of freedom and democracy, this is America. While I realize that Democrats think defeating Bush is everything, even at the cost of choice, it must be remembered that freedom has costs. Freedom means that people of differing viewpoints must respect each others' differing viewpoints. Democrats complain about that the Patriot Act is eroding personal freedoms, yet they still try to take away, minimally, millions of peoples' vote. Voting should be the ultimate freedom, and neither party should ever seek to restrict this choice.

In the news, Democrats continually speak of America, or President Bush losing "moral authority" in Iraq. How about Democrats losing moral authority in America? It is completely unethical, immoral and unacceptable for the Democratic Party to do anything but promote the Democratic Party. Instead of limiting choice, why don't these Congress People get into their communities, at the grassroots level, and help their neighbors, providing the kind of leadership that compels voters to follow great leaders. We live in a country where 50% of the people don't vote. While difficult, mobilizing these new voters, even if only a few million, is a much more democratic expenditure of money and time for the Democratic Party.

Gerrymandering by both parties has created indentured Congress people. Incumbency in the House of Representatives is almost 100%. The polarity of the two parties is terribly high and the people are tired, of BOTH parties. While Democrats might be right that it is time for Bush to go, it's time for these Democrats to go as well. Neither party represents the Majority of Americans and neither party has the right to take anyone's vote away. The Democrats involved in this scandal must stop now, and they must apologize to the American people.
