You didn't miss anything Nateddi. It came on at 7:30pm est. it was so brief, about 15 minutes. I missed it too -- I blinked and when I opened my eyes -- the whole thing was over. Fuck CNN. they rely on war to keep them on the air. After all, it was Desert Storm that made them.

nader left, buchanna right?

Funny thing is the men agree on so many things, it must suck to be nader and realize that your foreign economic policies are so closely aligned with buchanan's. There is even no difference in boogeymen, both men are convinced it is the corporate new world order thats out to dash their electoral hopes.

American politics is not about extremes but pragmatic balances, what plato would call the Mean. It changes according to situations, but apart from party functionaries, its not ideological but pragmatic. The problem is your adherence to marxist political analysis that posits only two classes against each other. The world is more complicated, you guys really dont know who the bad guys are. And to be truthful I dont either.

There are two classes - there is the class that struggles to attain or retain the very basic of needs, i.e. food and shelter, and there's the class that does not.

Buchanan and nader have common ground because Buchanan is an isolationist as is the duty of all good anti imperialists.
The majority republican right and democratic right are pro imperialist.
It was only Barbara Lee who votes against war in Congress.Our guest is obviously a bomb happy sucker for the American war machine.

obviously, but you conviniently fail to note that the particular isolationism displayed by both men extends to their economic policy as well.
