"Nader Voters Favor Kerry Over Bush by 3-to-1 Margin"
The survey was conducted last week by Lake Snell Perry & Associates in eight key battleground states in which Nader is on the ballot. It found that about a third of Nader supporters think Senator Kerry would do a better job than Nader on their highest priority issues - health care, jobs and the economy, and Iraq. The poll also explodes several myths about Nader supporters.

1. So why are they Nader voters then?
:shrug: Because they WANT their least favored candidate * to win?

2. Yep, some of them want to destroy America.
One guy here told me that he wanted Bush* in office so the country would collapse and then could be rebuilt. Some of these people are very, very scary.

5. Whatever happens, we can't blame this one on Nader.
Nader is officially an asshole in my book, but I can't convince myself that he will cost Kerry. I'd be surprised if there is ONE Nader voter out there who hasn't realized a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. If they're voting this way anyway, they obviously feel that the protest vote is more important than getting rid of Bush. If Nader wasn't running, they'd be staying home or writing in some other name to make their point.

All of the 2000 Nader supporters who actually wanted a progressive in the White House are already in the Kerry camp this time around. Too bad for Ralph. I actually thought he might get on board with us and maybe even get a cabinet position. He doesn't truly care about the country, just as long as someone strokes his ego. A truly great example of someone going from a hero to a zero. We're turning the country around in spite of him and he will be more irrelevant than ever during the Kerry administration.

7. Anyone who votes for Nader
should order one of the "spoiler" t-shirts that are sold at the Nader site. For anyone who thinks that Nader is running because he really gives a running f*ck about the country is seriously delusional.

Oh yeah, they should be forced to wear that damn t-shirt for the rest of Bush's second term, should he be returned to the White House because of their ideological purity bullshit.

This isn't rocket science, even for Nader voters.
