Pro-Nader WI Site Says Roe v. Wade Safer with McCain!
Posted September 5th, 2008 by mal contends

The Proletariat site contends "It seems to me Roe v. Wade will be a lot safer in a McCain than an Obama presidency," promoting Ralph Nader's appearance in Madison tonight.
Is this guy kidding?
From John McCain's site on women's choice:
Human Dignity and the Sanctity of Life Overturning Roe v. Wade John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states.However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion.
I have voted for Nader for president before, but I swear some of these pro-Nader people are as deluded and oblivious to facts as the religious right.
Let's hope someone from the Cap Times hits Nader with the question about Nader being concerned that a McCain administration would result in overturning Roe.

Nader
I remember Ralph Nader dimissing the fact that by his candidacy he might be responsible for electing GW Bush over Al Gore in 2000 by saying that, "Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better." Well, 8 years later they have gotten much worse and he is still at it. Sometimes I think that making things worse is what he is trying to accomplish and I can't figure out why unless he has transformed himself into one of these detached revolutionary types who see fail to see or care about the effects of what they do on real life human beings. Thanks for the seat belts, now retire already!
Proletariat
It's kind of sad, but Proletariat has gone off the deep end. His bitterness and antagonism towards Democrats in general, and Obama in particular, has so twisted his reasoning that he can't tell up from down anymore. I just hope he manages to recover after the election. He's a smart guy, and has written some thoughtful stuff in the past.
