Swift Boat Veterans for Nader

[obnoxiousdrunk]

We almost feel pity for Ralph Nader, he's stooped so low in attempting to claim the "progressive" mantel this election. Now the news comes out - according to the Federal Election Commission and United Progressives for Victory - that Nader's accepting money from the same donors who funded the demonstrably false smear campaign propagated by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Travis Anderson, Brian Pilcher, Donald Burns, Rex Martin and Oliver Grace, who contributed $13,500 to air the baseless Swift Boat attack ads derailing John Kerry's war record in August have given $8,000 to Nader over the past few months. That's on top of the $6,000 Nader took from donors who gave $217,000 to the right-wing antitax extremists at the Club for Growth. Nader's now accepted $100,000 total from GOP donors and consultants. A record to run away from, in campaign parlance.

1. its obscene how much money there is to throw away on

stuff like this. We know Nader has sunk to the role of an opportunist.
He will accept funds from anyone so long as he can feed his ego and stay in the race - to the damnation of his political reputation.

2. See how persuasive Nadir is?

Republicans are flocking to his banner in droves. It just goes to show, people will respect someone who takes a strong stand, even though that stand is diametrically opposed to their own beliefs and interests. And they'll support someone whom they respect. These fine Republicans wouldn't give money to the wishy-washy, fake Democrat Kerry.


The Democrats should follow Nadir's lead, then they would be doing just as well as he is in this election.
