Your comments are sensible and mostly accurate. But I have 1 beef to pick with you.
There is no far-right fundimentalist Christian wing of the Republican party. I find it very sad that people who try to stand up for basic tenets of this country's heritage, such as the notion that the country was founded as 'one nation under God', are disregarded as far-right fundimentalists. On the contrary, it is those who strive to tear down our birthright and make it illegal to worship how we choose because it might make someone else uncomfortable that should be feared. Maybe you feel like words like 'under God' don't belong in national texts, so you support their cause. What you don't realize is that you actually empowering them to take away your freedom to choose to speak as you will, to believe as you choose, or to live as you choose.
If you were referring to those who are pro-life or who oppose giving extra rights to gays and lesbians, then you fail to realize that these views are held by vast numbers of americans and cannot therefore be described as far-right fundamentalist views.
As for me, I'm in a pickle, I agree mostly with Nader except for his views on the two or three issues most important to me. But they didn't put his name on the ballot here anyway.
