Gore and Nader Agree It's Time for a Change
Edited on Wed May-26-04 01:18 AM by JI7
<Al Gore and his one-time rival Ralph Nader have found something to agree upon: When it comes to the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, it's time for a change.

The former vice president will demand the resignations of five administration officials, along with one of President Bush's military commanders, in a speech today in New York. His handlers declined to say who, exactly, is on the hit list. But they described the speech as a hard-hitting attack on the administration's Iraq policies, especially the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib.

Gore's comments will come two days after Nader reiterated his calls for Bush's impeachment, at an address before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

"Plunging our nation into war on what is now a very well-documented platform of fabrications, deceptions and prevarications, to me, rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor, and warrants impeachment proceedings to be initiated in the House of Representatives," Nader said. "It's hard to conceive of a more capable candidate for the invocation of the impeachment authority reposited in Congress by our Founding Fathers." >

2. Too bad Chimp and Fidelity Ralph are indistingushable.
Yup, Nush-Bader are identical halves of the same bad thing. Both like to bust unions. Both lie their asses off all day long. Both root for the profiteering drug companies, communiocations conglomerates, and wal-mart. Both are as opportunistic as the day is long. And they both want to beat Kerry.

3. Gore and Nadar Do Not Agree Its Time For A Change
Gore does. He is supporting Kerry who can provide that change. Nadar is supporting Nadar which means he may prevent Kerry from winning which would prevent the needed change.
