Even if Nader was a stealth Republican, he still did not cause the loss of the election. You can dismiss the fact that Gore won but it is a fact regardless.
You can ignore all the other factors, many of them criminal, that lowered Gores chances of winning, yet he still won. He overcame all the dirty tricks and all the criminal activities that were taking place, and won in spite of them. Even the defection of so many Democrats still did not cause him to lose.
After all their efforts failed, the Bush crooks turned to their last resort, and the crime of the century took place, a crime that had zero to do with Ralph Nader. I don't care if he was a serial killer, he still had nothing to do with the theft of that election.
I will read your link, it will be one of many, many sources on this election that I have read. Not one of them so far, has viewed Nader as a factor in what happened in 2000.
