Voting for fringe ideologies just reelects the monsters, as the results of the 2000 elections should have burned into the conscience of every Nader voter.
Just as the results of '92 should be burnt into the conscience of every Perot voter. Face it: neither the Dems nor the Reps support a reasonable government. I happen to prefer the Libertarians, then the Republicans, then the Democrats, then the varous looney-tunes. Heck, were it not for the Libertarian support for infanticide (a most un-libertarian platform), I think I'd probably register as one.
