Lot of good credibility in that article.

Until the typical "Let's use Nader as a scapegoat" bit.

It is up to the candidate to present his/her best case to the people. And the people vote for who they think is the best candidate. That's how the process should be/envisaged as.

It's not Nader's fault that some people are tired of Democratic capitulation to the big corporations or that some people thought Nader would have made a better President. That's up for the voter to decide, not the pundits who want an easy scapegoat. We need to respect the voter, even if they don't think like the rest of us. Don't they have a right to vote? (and before you even think it, I voted for Gore.)

And even you must admit that Gore had more balls when recently criticizing the Bush administration than he did during his campaign. His campaign was fairly lax; presumable because he thought he'd be a shoe-in because of (a) the economy that Clinton created, and (b) the fact Bush* couldn't compose himself like a good President should. Oops, Gore was wrong. Gore was to blame for not being able to capture the hearts and votes of the voters who decided to vote for Nader instead. THAT is the truth.

Also, most people want the candidate they vote for to win. SPINNING the issue to make it sound like the Green voters wanted Bush to win is just a liter of concentrated cow manure.

Also, how come a guy whose party can't get 5% of the votes be such a threat? Surely we ought to concentrate on the folks who are trying for 50% or more, hmmm?

Besides, the SCOTUS' partisan antics combined with the criminal actions of bastard Jeb Bush and bastardette Katherine Harris are the real issue here. Why is anybody naive enough to keep blaming Nader and that small handful of "delusional voters" when the real culprits are dancing in the streets, destroying everything they touch?! :mad: Good grief, it just gets too silly...

NADER AND THOSE WHO VOTED FOR HIM ARE NOT THE PROBLEM SO GET OVER IT! Geez, how much power can a man getting 5% of the population have? :eyes:
