Is Ralph Nader dumber than we thought? Could he perhaps be suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's? He's 70, after all. You've got to wonder after reading the absurd things he's been saying since announcing on Sunday that he would run for the presidency.

Despite the fact that he cost Al Gore the 2000 election--and thus put George W. Bush into office--Nader is angrily claiming he's not a "spoiler" this year. He had the gall to tell "the liberal establishment" (whatever that is) that it should "relax and rejoice" over his candidacy, since he will draw more Republican votes than Democratic ones. Sure, Ralph, I'll relax--and ignore the fact that 45 percent of your voters said they would have voted for Gore if you hadn't been on the ballot in 2000, while only 27 percent would have voted for Bush, as the New York Times reported on Tuesday. The only charitable response to statements like these is to assume Nader is lying, because if he actually believes the crap he's saying, he needs to be institutionalized before he pulls a handgun out of his lapel pocket and starts blasting away to silence the voices in his head.

This brings up some interesting points in a humerous manner. Although I am still under the impression that a conspiracy also had a factor in our getting screwed in the 2000 election.

it's odd that Bush has done so much to mobilize voters against him. We are on the verge of witnessing one of the greatest voter turnouts in years and there is no doubt that these new voters will not be putting Bush back in office.

The Left hates Bush and they are mobilized, but they are going to find out that they are not the voting majority in this country.

Bush is going to beat Kerry in 2004 the way Reagon beat Mondale back in '84.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans are the voting majority, as there is a sizeable minority of voters who are centrists, who can be swayed to one side or the other by circumstances.

Mobilizing one's base, and swaying the swing votes, is the key to the election.

(In response in pre-emption to JLB: the right is not the voting majority, or Al Gore wouldn't have won the general election by 500,000 votes).

Do you have any EVIDENCE other that unsubstainted allegations? :tp:

Just about ANYBODY can write stories in a newspaperm you know.

Were there any charges filed? If so, what was the disposition of those charges?

I watched a documentary wherein they interviewed many people who were part of the voting debacle that occured in florida, not to mention learned about how a ton of people weren't allowed to vote(mostly black to boot) because they were suddenly guilty of crimes, even though 80% or thereabouts had never ever committed a single crime in their life.

Yeah..sure there wasn't a conspiracy.

Did anybody ever bring any charges of fraud or of being denied their civil rights?

Or was this just some more unsubstantiated garbage?

You know, it is simple to make statements that you don't have to back up. :tp:
