to him condoning Bush, when every president gets one?

Sorry Ralph, I am in Florida, and I heard the talk radio celebrate how skillfully they played you and your tools to get enough votes. Not that you have ever returned ONE CENT of BLOOD MONEY Rush Limbaugh and his followers gave you.

Obama would never add chained cpi to social security betterdemsonly Apr 2013 #81

WOW, that's the biggest false equivalency ever! Coyotl Apr 2013 #84

Comparing Gore to Obama and Clinton is a false betterdemsonly Apr 2013 #88

The Iraq war vs. negotiating detail that won't happen in the budget Coyotl Apr 2013 #89

Of course he is. He's a self-satisfied asshole who handed Bush the office. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2013 #7

Hahaha! It is an article BY Nader ABOUT Obama and the title of the OP is the headline. Luminous Animal Apr 2013 #21

That is not how the title of the OP reads. blue neen Apr 2013 #30

Intelligent people click on the link in order to render an informed comment. Luminous Animal Apr 2013 #36

If 95000 voters hadn't voted for Nader, none of the smaller problems would have mattered. pnwmom Apr 2013 #18

If 300,000 registered DEMOCRATIC Florida voters hadn't voted for Bush, none of the smaller Luminous Animal Apr 2013 #24

Most of those voters hadn't voted Democratic for decades. Many people change parties pnwmom Apr 2013 #25

So you say. Luminous Animal Apr 2013 #26

Apparently you never heard of "Reagan Democrats." pnwmom Apr 2013 #27

So it was OK those Democrats voted for Reagan and Bush but not some others for Nader? Fumesucker Apr 2013 #28

They weren't Democrats and hadn't been for years. Also, they each only controlled pnwmom Apr 2013 #32

Then the "Democrats" who voted for Nader weren't Democrats either Fumesucker Apr 2013 #33

But the PROGRESSIVES who voted for Nader were progressives pnwmom Apr 2013 #41

Is Lieberman remotely "progressive"? Fumesucker Apr 2013 #43

Lieberman wasn't Gore's finest moment. But the country would have been far better off pnwmom Apr 2013 #45

Gore terminally damaged his progressive credentials when he picked Liberman Fumesucker Apr 2013 #47

OF COURSE you preferred Cheney to Lieberman, even though Cheney was much worse. pnwmom Apr 2013 #49

I don't mean I prefer Cheney policy wise Fumesucker Apr 2013 #65

Gore would have got the votes of the Left if he had appealed to them instead of the 3rd Way/DLC. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2013 #42

That does not change the history of Nader as spoiler. Coyotl Apr 2013 #44

And, that doesn't change the fact that Gore lost the left in Florida. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2013 #46

You can't change the fact that Gore won with Nader in the race. Coyotl Apr 2013 #73

Not if he didn't get votes. But, he did because he attracted the left. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2013 #78

Spoiler is a sore loser concept betterdemsonly Apr 2013 #52
