217. Katherine Harris wasn't a self-proclaimed lefty. Nor was Rove.

There's a line, and some people fall to the right, others to the left.

When someone on OUR side of the line, in an election that was MOMENTOUS with regard to the direction of the nation, and knowing that HE cannot win but HE can influence the result of the election, doesn't work to help the guy that was going to prioritize clean air, clean water, sustainability, the environment--and Gore would have done a LOT of good that way--and instead, makes it all about his big mouth in a brutally close election, that tells me he's not on OUR side.

He's a greedy little millionaire with a ton of CISCO (union busters) stock. A hypocrite.

Plus, the subject of this thread is that selfish jerk. That's why people are readily giving the FRN salute.

No, we can't. We can recognize it as quite possibly ghost written by Karl Rove. MADem Jul 2012 #283

They never talked like Nader and invested like Bush, though. Nadar did exactly that. nt MADem Jul 2012 #344

Right, they talk *and* invest like Bush. Marr Jul 2012 #358

Will you stop calling everyone a Nader supporter, for Christ's sake? Marr Jul 2012 #400

Ralph Nader is not a politician. He's a tool of the GOP. Politicians win the occasional contest. MADem Jul 2012 #402
