(11,464 posts)Had Nader not perpetuated the single greatest fraud on Americans (telling people Gore and Bush were the same) none of 2000 would have happened
Gore would have won NH and the election without Florida coming into play
Had Gore picked Paul Wellstone or Bob Graham, Florida would not have mattered.
But remember, 1960 as a warning. Who stole 1960? The world will never know.
As Harry Chapin said about writing songs "Good artists borrow, great artists steal. And I (HC) want to be a great artist) Smile." It was a cute throwaway laugh before Harry sang another song (and he was the single greatest live act ever), but it rings true.
A line from the old Clint Eastwood movie" A winner does what a loser won't."
I'll take another 2 doses of Chicago in 2016 and 2020.Chicago won 1960, 1964, 2008, 2012
Let's not forget, President Obama just won a stunning landslide reelection because HIS voters voted for HIM.
The loser sucked and lost. I can't even recall his name.
Let's hope history repeats in 2016 and a Clinton slaughters a Bush.
And remember- NEVER vote for a 3rd party except in the rare instances where the democrat cannot win but the 3rd party will caucus with the democrat like Sen. Angus King and like Charlie Crist would have.
and let's leave losing to the other side
and remember- YES Virginia, democratic demographic change does exist.And we MUST cater to the ones that bought us to the dance, if we want the dance to continue.
IMHO of course.
BTW-want to make sure a corrupt court does not throw another election? Make sure you keep electing the side that wouldn't have put Alito, Roberts, Thomas, Scalia on the court in the first place
and never listen to Ralph Nader again. He was the single direct cause to 2000 turning out the way he did. Then he had the audacity to do again in 2004, and still spew his hatred in 2008 and 2012.
Hey Ralph, how did that Bush thing work out for the environment? You screwed Al Gore out of his Presidency, the single biggest Green candidate ever.
Remember, without nader, Gore won. Everything else came after that.
Did anyone ever look into who prompted Nader up in 2000? Who sent him cards and letters?
Who sent in dollars?
