COMMENTARY
A Nader Voter Sings the Bush Blues

 By Jason Salzman, Jason Salzman, co-founder of Repent NaderVoter.com, is author of "Making the News: A Guide for Activists and Nonprofits" (1998, Westview Press).
After George W. Bush was elected president, my Gore-loving neighbor gave me a green "Unrepentant Nader Voter" bumper sticker. After the Florida fiasco, she thought I would be ashamed to stick it on my car. Wrong. I immediately slapped it on my Honda. It was beautiful.

In March, shortly after bombs began dropping on Baghdad, I took a razor blade from my garage and excised the letters "un" from "unrepentant," leaving "repentant Nader Voter" on my bumper.

1. what's to be repentant about?
bill clintons self-indulgent extra-marital affair w/ an intern cost al gore a slam-dunk victory in 2000.

nader voters can stop blaming themselves. it's democrats that need to do a little introspection on their policies and practises for the last 20 years to figure out how the dem. party got where it is today.
