Showing Original Post only (View all)Ralph Nader ABSOLUTELY Helped Cost President Gore the Election in 2000 despite these revisionists [View all]
trying to tell you otherwise. Nader called Gore and Bush 'identical' on the environment. Oh no, NOTHING to see there.
The NYT on the matter:
In Florida, where Mr. Gore trailed Mr. Bush by only a few hundred votes, a shift of just a fraction of the nearly 97,000 votes Mr. Nader polled could have given the state, and the White House, to Mr. Gore, the most likely major-party alternative for Mr. Nader's supporters.
The argument can be made that Nader did not cost what was stolen, but do you honestly think the campaign insiders weren't aware of what was going on about voter rolls? Nader was a conduit for the theft, and I am not going to suffer revisionists trying to placate their sorry asses now with "Oh nooooooes!11!!! It wasn't *Nader*"
Yes it fucking was, and people who don't learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them.
