both voted to keep counting the votes. Remember it was a 5-4 ruling. Scalia, Thomas, Renquist, Kennedy, and O'Conner voted to stop the recount.

Just about all of Nader's actions point to him being a republican accomplice. I don't even think he believes in progress. To him democracy is irrelevent. Here's why:

-Nader has buddied up with Grover Norquist in the last couple months. I can be convinced of only one thing. Norquist and the others on the far right are pushing him to run again in '04.

-Nader explicitly stated he SUPPORTED THE IMPEACHMENT EFFORT AND REMOVAL of Clinton. That to me says it all. It's amazing, most Greens didn't know about this. I myself wouldn't be surprised many Greens wouldn't care because to them Nader's '00 run was like the second coming of Christ.

-He said nothing about the SC's help in the theft of the '00 selection. Some Greens did know better and did march on that inaugeration day, but Nader himself was quite happy at the mess he caused.

-He has expressed little if any opposition to the recall effort in CA. Wow, there he goes again, claiming this recall can breathe life to CA politics.

-Of course it wouldn't hurt him who won the CA recall, or the white house. Why should it? He's profitted nicely with the Bush's tax cuts. Nader and his supporters couldn't give less of a fuck about working people and their concerns. How many of Nader's supporters are actually poor minorities that have been affected by Bush's tax cut? Not a large number.

-Nader is more interested in trashing the democratic party rather than building any inroads with any of its members. Why should democrats play kiss up with him, when he thinks they can all go to hell? Why should we (and by we I democrats) make up with him when he obviously believes in republican attempts to subvert democracy?

-Nader is nothing more than a republican schill, who has his place with the likes of Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde, Darrel Issa, David Dryer, and other right wing GOP bastards.
