Nader blabbering on MSNBC. Still not apologizing for Bush.

171. no matter how many times you repeat a falsehood does not make it true

Florida was simply not the only place the election was decided. Remove the evil scourge of Nader from the earth and Gore wins New Hampshire. That is reality. He could have done the right thing and he chose not to. 7,212 Nader voters in New Hampshire could have done the right thing, but they chose not to. They are at least as responsible as SCOTUS.

I don't know why people are vested in denial.

You might say the same things about me.

But what am I denying? That SCOTUS made a crapy decision? That they played a part, even a large part? No, I admit that, but they have an excuse - they are conservatives who wanted Bush to win. What is Nader's excuse? Did he want Bush to win? Because he also played a part. A huge part. A key part.

A bunch of conervatives in Florida and SCOTUS did what they could to put Florida in the Bush column. Meanwhile, Nader and a bunch of Nader voters helped to put New Hampshire in the Bush column. Nader and LaDuke also did everything they could to put New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Oregon, in the Bush column.

Their actions had at least as much to do with the Bush victory as SCOTUS did. See how that works. My team lost the game for many reasons. For one reason because the opposing pitcher beaned our star player, taking him out of the game. A dirty trick, to be sure, but they are trying to win for their team. Meanwhile somebody who is supposed to be on our side, purposely struck out in the last inning with a runner on third.

Both SCOTUS and Nader could have done different things if they wanted to.

Nader, unlike SCOTUS conservatives, claims to care about many of the same issues that I do, and yet his actions undermined everything he claims to stand for.

Having done something so horrible I can understand why he is personally vested in denial. It keeps him from blowing his brains out.

I don't understand at all other people's resistance to the obvious.

I guess people are just plain not very rational.
