33. Are you that ingnorant of history?

In fact, Nader did not outperform anybody. If anybody in recent history did, he had funny ears, and spoke with a Texas accent, and may very well have guaranteed Clinton's victory. That was the closest ever to the Bull Moose performance in recent history.

Jaysus, you really do not like democracy. What if voters decide, please do follow this bouncy ball, one of these years, to VOTE FOR A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE in such high numbers, across all 52 state elections, that NEITHER of the two major party candidates wins the election? Would you consider that a fraud? I suspect you would... MY GOD MY PREFERRED PARTY LOST!

Is it possible? Yes, likely, not presently, and some of that has to do with how the system is designed and how the two parties have futzed with laws.

But damn it, you really are a hard core partisan...

So what happens to those good democrats who voted for I don't know the bull moose II candidate? Are they to be lined up and shot?

SO you think the GOP is done nadinbrzezinski Nov 2012 #13

No, I think using 1964 and 1972 is just plain silly alcibiades_mystery Nov 2012 #17

It's not a silly analogy because it's not an analogy. It's just a warning against complacency. Jim Lane Nov 2012 #40

THE SUPREME COURT- you mean the one that Nader lied and said Bush/Gore were the same? graham4anything Nov 2012 #29

Escuse me, but NADER had nothing to do with taht decision nadinbrzezinski Nov 2012 #30

Again, if Gore won NH, the US Supreme Court would never have been called in. Election over in NH graham4anything Nov 2012 #31

What I do not understand is your hate for the democratic system nadinbrzezinski Nov 2012 #34

Wrong, but keep on thinking that. Thankfully a majority of Dems sabrina 1 Nov 2012 #25
