Don't get me wrong -- I don't think 100% of the blame for Gore's defeat in 2000 is due to Nader. The Washington press corps and its War On Gore gets the lion's share of the blame; and, of course, it was the Supreme Court who made the final decision in Campaign 2000. The fact remains, though, that if Nader voters had come out for Gore, we wouldn't have had a President Bush. Be that as it may, the stakes are way too high in 2008 for yet another quixotic Nader For President ego-fest. We don't need him taking away Dem votes this year. I wish he would shut the hell up and stay at home -- that would be the best thing he could do for America in 2008.

Of course, Gore could have used a couple thousand of the “Jews for Buchanan” votes Pat Buchanan got, too.

Hey RP, Nader got almost 97,000 votes in Florida and it's been estimated that 2/3s of them would have voted for Gore. Those 97K were not all 'motivated “Nader” voters'. Gore 'lost' <a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/results/FL/frameset.exclude.html" rel="nofollow">Florida by 1,725 votes</a>. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Ralph Nader gave us George W. Bush. Take that troll!

But a new winner emerged as some bigger idiot posted a rant as to how come the Iranian leader can announce his visit to Iraq and our president has to sneak in? Because we don't kill leaders of foreign countries like our enemies do. Duh? He followed it up with a now found to be bogus video of an American soldier throwing a puppy off a roof. And you have the audacity to tell me I can do better? Both you and your fellow United States hater couldn't win a battle of wits with a box of rocks - let alone challenge me in the arena of reality. It's a foreign concept to both of you. Bottom line Dump, Nader finishes third in your own poll. Dmp, y pst Ndr fr th wrd wth ths dt pctrs y pt p.

Dig a little and you'll see he has the stats to back up all of those arguments. It was Gore's race to lose and he lost. To blame Nader seems silly and uninformed. I suppose it is easier though to scapegoat a principled character like Ralph Nader than to admit we live in a country of religious kooks, greedy bastards, and backward thinking shit heads who got what they deserved when they elected George W. Bush. Nader's a better man than you or I will ever be. Nader argues–convincingly enough for me–1)that his entry into the 2000 race did not siphon votes from Gore but rather motivated “Nader” voters (those who otherwise would have stayed home) to turn out because of dissatisfaction with Gore, 2)that his presence in the race actually motivated Gore voters to turn out in larger numbers than they otherwise would have, 3) that the votes of any of the other non-Republican or non-Democratic party candidates would have been enough to win Gore Florida, and 4)that he won some votes that perhaps were going to go to Bush had he not run.

Barack nailed it when he said of Nader, "He thought that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush and eight years later I think people realize that Ralph did not know what he was talking about." Ralph Nader is the reason the Supreme Court was able to give Bush the presidency and it's been a miserable 8 years of more republican failed policies and the country has paid a heavy price. Nader needs to be stopped. BAMN. Very nice post.
