Very sad...one could just replace the word Leader with the word "ruler".
The worst fears of all good people have been realized. I would go as far as to say that Ralph Nader has been vindicated, albeit at great cost to humanity and human civilization. THERE IS LITTLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE Ds AND THE Rs. They all speak for the ruthless war-machine that symbolizes America, and are shameless whores to the profit-driven corporations.
