So what if I supported Ralph Nader - isn't that just how it goes?

1. Doesn't matter to me.

It only matters to people who buy into the zombie lie that Nader somehow changed the results of the 2000 election, something that was debunked by 2001 at the latest by people who actually did in-depth analyses of Florida results.

3. For the record I didn't vote for Nader.

I'm just trying to toss around some thoughts I had this morning.

Thanks for your reply.

2. If that's who you feel you need to support that's your right to do so.

But he's not running. And "he's not a Democrat!"

[closeupready]

4. Agree.

[Autumn]

5. It's your vote and your right to vote for whom you will. I got no problem with Nader.

He had every right to run for President. The supreme court? They should have been impeached and disbanded.

6. Fahrenheit 9/11 just blew me away. I mean,

I'm no kid, it's just that I didn't realize how irresponsible Third Way dems behaved with regard to their constituents. Anyway...

[Autumn]

9. It was disgusting what they did. People who blame Nader are just wrong.

I will never forget that

12. coverup artists

protecting the culprits so they can do it again.

7. Unless you were Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Republican Congressional aids

who rioted in Florida to stop vote counting, or the Supreme Court, you had, at most, a tiny influence.

Personally, I think Nader is a Narcicist who made his argument that the there is no difference between the parties so he could get power. That doesn't mean that those peope who voted for him had about as much affect on the outcome as people who accidentally voted for Buchanan because on a butterfly ballot designed to confuse.

10. i like him in 90's and earlier. disgusted by him in the 2000's. egomaniac for sure. nt

11. His early work was great. I think his belief that revolutionary change

as the only solution is misguided and wrong headed.

8. yes. but then, do not come back and tell me you are on the side of women. cause then we

have an argument. and i tell you why, you walked away from women dying.

18. are you a woman and are you losing rights over your body, jailed and without medical care?

[reddread]

19. are you series!?

The rights I have are inalienable, and that doesnt seem to stop anyone from pretending otherwise.

Why do you restrict your concern to one sex?

[whatchamacallit]

13. Yes, that is how it's supposed to go

My vote is my right. Would you prefer something else?

15. Question: should Hillary's IWR vote count? Because when it meant something,

she voted wrong. Thus, for better or worse, that's part of her record, just as our votes for president are part of our own private history.

[whatchamacallit]

16. Yes of course it should count

It calls her judgement and character into account. A politician's record is our only measure of performance.

[reddread]

17. any vote for Hillary is a vote for the IWR

because there is no other measure of accountability.
sadly.

[City Lights]

20. Yes. You are entitled to support whomever you choose. nt

[bigwillq]

21. That's fine. I supported him too.

Cheers.

[NobodyHere]

22. You supported an actual liberal?

How dare you!

[closeupready]

23. I know. I've told myself so many times, what were you thinking?

(Full disclosure: I did NOT vote for Nader; it was a rhetorical question, but I have NEVER condemned those who did so.)
