The Hidden Swing State?
rwiedower writes "What if all the Nader voters lived in a single state? Kerry would have to court them and their electoral votes just like he pursues union workers in Ohio and senior citizens in Florida. Now, in the two weeks before the election, Nader's 1% might well be a deciding factor. And Nader voters, sick of being told that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, have formed a loose coalition demanding to be treated for what they are--a swing state."
How obvious. Real men vote for Badnarik you insensitive clods!
Karma: Chameleon (mostly due to the fact that you come and go).
They key word is "forseeable".
We now know what to expect from another four years of Bush (though it could conceivable get much worse). We now know that Gore would have been the sane choice.
( I mean, maybe Gore wouldn't have gone into Iraq, but he certainly didn't run on that issue. Bush did run on the issue that he wouldn't go into Iraq, basically. "Read my lips: No nation building.")
Sure, you've got an excuse if you voted for Nader in 2000. Who knew Bush would be this bad? But given what we now know, if you live in a battleground state and vote for Nader, you're a fool.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
He [Kerry] is a traitor to those former American POWs who endured years torture by their foreign captors in attempt to force them [the former POWs] to admit that they [the former POWs] committed war crimes even if they [the former POWs] did not.
As a progressive, I proclaim Nader is the ass. Cause he is. He's being supported by the same folks behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads.
I don't understand why the media plays up Nader so much but seems to ignore the Libertarian and Constitutional candidates. And Nader is on less ballots. So much for the "liberal" media bias.
