Oh, and I see your point, **Daniel**. You obviously saw mine, so I guess we’ll meet somewhere in the middle. 🙂 ---

Well, AD, I wasn’t aware I’d taken any of those positions. Mine has always been that both suck. Two years in the Press Corps will do that to a man. I’m surprised you didn’t know that. Though if I had to break it down I’d look at the **types** of businesses both sides support. Republicans: Larger corporations that value stability and conservatism above all, even at the expense of personal freedom. Democrats: Big corporations who’s main interest in freedom of speech and behavior, even at the expense of stability. ---

It’s my understanding that there are factions out there that will go on an airplane-bombing, nun-killing, baby-raping, replacing-regular-coffee-with-Folger’s-crystals rampage if Ralph Nader isn’t elected. What to do, what to do? ---

Well, if you don’t vote for Nader, you better be ready to do a lot of apologizing. Daniel [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/terrorist-leader-calls-for-attacks-against-us-in-order-to-elect-republicans/194456.md?page=1)
