Looking from the outside, whatever the cost to Americans, getting
rid of Madeline Albright has got to be a welfare gain to the rest of
the world. It is surely worth 4 years of Bush to get rid of that
person before she brings more disaster on the rest

Politically, he is no different than a left Democrat. For that matter, he

It also seems inconsistent, in light of your defense
of the white radicals in Seattle. Their profile on
race issues was no better than Nader's. Of course,
they didn't go so far as to suggest taking a vote
away from Gore and giving it to Nader. All they
did was block streets and break windows.
