It's more of a wing or fin to them. A spoiler to them is a person who buttfingers the pickle jar.

But the fact remains, as I see it anyhow, that because he was on the ticket, and because he siphoned off votes that would've otherwise mostly gone to the Democratic Party, we got George Bush and the Iraq War.

The votes Nadar siphoned off gave us the Florida recount, George Bush, and the Iraq War.

None of those things would've happened otherwise, all other things remaining the same.

I don't begrudge Nadar, but I think we paid a huge price as a country for putting Bush in the White House.

And I think a Trump presidency could make the Bush presidency seem like the good old days.

Should I be surprised by this extraordinary revelation? Being disliked by a Naderite is a complement.

I never hear any criticism of the (much larger group of) Dems in Florida who crossed over to vote Republican. Apparently, moving to the right is okay but moving to the left is an unthinkable crime.

And no, I didn't vote for Nader. Never even crossed my mind. I'm just sick of the dishonesty.

It's become the mantra of those who refuse to accept something more than the two party fiasco du jour.
