Erik,

re: This whole effort by Nader and "independents" (what is that supposed to mean?-- self-flattery by viewing yourself as one of the few who is intelligent enough to consider the complexity and ambiguity inherent in politics and ideology?) to paint these candidates as the same is misguided and downright wrong.

Take a second look at your list. It's a collection of political rhetoric, from both sides. There isn't one issue on that list that will change in a significant way under Gore or Bush.

The truth is that almost every decision made by the executive branch is filtered through every option, and the ultimate action is determined by the ramifications, political or economic. Democrat/Republican Liberal/Conservative has little to do with anything.

In an election, the candidates search out issued to debate, that will please their constituency and not piss off the other voters too much. It'a a game of saying what the most people want to hear, and saying it with the most conviction. It's marketing...

John

BTW... I'm more of a political agnostic, than independent. And there is very little "complexity or ambiguity", it seems pretty simple and clear.
