"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

DNC: The Democratic Party (and other misnomers)

Dems Sue to Keep Nader Off Ballot

Newsmax

The Florida Democratic Party and an independent group of voters separately sued the state Tuesday...

Ah, democracy... sheesh.

... trying to keep Ralph Nader off the November ballot and accusing the Reform Party's nomination process of being a sham.

A sham? Why?

The Reform Party nominated Nader during a two-day conference call earlier this summer.

Ah. Heck, knocking off these week long coronations and going for a conference call doesn't exactly sound like a bad thing.

But more importantly, where the heck is it written that our elections involve only two parties? I say let the whackjob run. Besides, the DNC's still up by one Perot. Another Nader-influenced election will even the score.
