I just looked at a pro-Nader site. . .
and I was surprised.

Anyone who sees it will come away with a positive image of our man Kerry, and a negative image of *.

Its main text begins,

George W. Bush: The Anti-Truth President

The Bush Regime has not been telling the truth to the American people. Whether through manipulating science, manipulating intelligence, hiding the true number of casualties in Iraq—-George W. Bush consistently deceives the American public.

During the 2000 campaign George W. Bush said he would not ...Continued...




Lower down on the page, it contains audio and video links to Kerry from the 70s. The point of the links is to say, Don't you wish Kerry was still that idealistic? -- yet I think, if anything, idealists who see young Lt. Kerry speaking would be more likely to vote for him. Kerry is amazing.


So I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if this is an official Nader site -- it looks official -- and I won't include the link, unless people ask -- but from what I saw, it can only help our cause.

1. Link? And regardless, this election is too damn important.
The man should drop out; whether he endorses Kerry or not.

Bush will negate everything Nader's accomplished in his entire life, and Nader is enabling it.

2. I agree --
I'd like Nader to drop out and endorse Kerry. All I'm saying is, I was pleasantly surprised to see the website -- http://www.votenader.org/ -- NOT saying that Bush and Kerry are the same, etc. It condemns Bush harshly, and expresses longings for Kerry as he was in the 70s; I think those longings will help move Nader voters to check the box marked Kerry/Edwards.

3. That is the OFFICIAL site, and take more than a cursory look
around.

It's as harsh, if not more harsh, to Senator Kerry.

I've lost every ounce of what was once a profound respect for Nader. He is enabling those who want to destroy everything he's ever worked for.

I literally hate the man, and I'd like to think that is beyond me, but I now know it isn't.
