35. Neither will I

Tuesday

Thanks for doing such a good job of documenting all of the extensive GOP help that Nader got in 2000. Nader's GOP funded tv ad campaign was nothing but lies about Al Gore and it was run in critical battleground states like Florida. It's time for the Nader apologists to finally face the ugly truth that their votes for Nader made it possible for Bush to shred the constitution and steal the 2000 election in Florida. There's never been a peep from Nader about Bush's all-out assault on American democracy in Florida in 2000 and I think that speaks volumes about Nader. This is why our country suffers so terribly today and will never be the same because of it. What a better country and world we would now be living in had Nader's out of control ego not reared its ugly head in 2000.
