Swiftboat liars give money to Nader

Swift Boat Veterans for Nader? A handful of donors to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an organization that has run controversial ads attacking Democrat John F. Kerry, have also given money to independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
Five donors, who contributed a total of $13,500 to the anti-Kerry group, also gave $7,500 to the longtime consumer advocate. That has infuriated some Democrats, who complain that Nader is taking money from supporters of not only a Republican group, but also one he has repeatedly denounced. In August, at a speech at Tulane University, Nader called the group "proxies" for the Bush campaign, which, he said, was attempting to "smear" the Democratic nominee.

1. Every one of his supporters

should see this report so they fully understand what a great idealist they're fighting for. :eyes:

2. Exactly.

Anyone who knows individuals who are voting for Nader should be working on them by referring to this article.

3. Does Nadar have no scruples at all?

I would never, ever support that man after what I've seen in this election. :evilfrown:

4. My daughter................

a Junior at Tulane went to that speech at my urging. She said it was poorly attended and that St. Ralph (Wiggums) Nader seemed boring and self centered. But what else is new?
She's now actively campaigning for Kerry/Edwards on Campus and has said that it looks very good (surprising in LA) for Kerry. Most of the students are voting on Campus instead of absentee, and this might actually have an impact on the Louisiana election numbers. There are a ton of Colleges and Universities in NOLA alone, meaning that they will have quite a bit of clout in the local elections at the very least.
I'm very interested in the outcome. I actually think Louisiana might be in play for Kerry/Edwards this year, now THAT would be the shock of a lifetime! We'll see in a few weeks.

7. I would LOVE to see LA go blue!

My family is from LA & I lived in NO for a bit before moving to NJ so it warms my heart to hear that there's a lot of Kerry support. :)

5. Nader is a WHORE-he'd take money from Satan if it furthers his idiocy

:kick:

6. Ahem...

I thought the whole point of 527s was that they were not affiliated with any party. Doesn't donating money to a campaign void their 527 affiliation?

8. No, it's just individuals who gave to two places. nt

9. More...

The Nader camp rejected suggestions that it was hypocritical of him to accept the money -- and said the donations were evidence of its candidate's ability to appeal to voters from across the political spectrum. "Twenty-five percent of our voters are people who voted for Bush. I'm not surprised there's some overlap in funding, as well," said spokesman Kevin Zeese. "If they support us, they support us," he said. "We can still criticize their advertising campaign."

Motherfuckers :grr:
