Is support for Nader being orchestrated at the highest levels of the GOP?
It is clear in many state polls that Nader may make the difference yet again. I know some states look like blowouts for us now but their convention has yet to transpire and the barrage of attacks has begun anew with the not-so-Swift vets. I expect some closing of the numbers.

It's also clear from the polls that Bush's only chance to defeat Kerry is to take away from his vote totals since he can't get over 45% in any poll of the popular vote. Bush cannot gain his own support but he can drag Kerry down.

I would not be surprised if Rove has a special operation dedicated solely to helping Nader. If we could prove this then Bush would be toast. I've seen many threads here more or less documenting GOP assistance to Nader but we need to connect the dots as high up as possible.

Ladies and gentlemen, post your links.

1. It is only logical that there are organizations doing this.

2. This cabal consistently terrorizes its own citizenry for political gain...

and has already robbed our country of one Presidential election --why would there be a shred of doubt that they are using any means they can to guarantee that Ralph Nader gets every vote possible?

I've seen the articles about funding and cooperation also, but tracing it to the highest levels I can't do. If we had some real journalists in this country, maybe they could catch Rove red-handed.

3. Not a shred of doubt here either
but we can't depend on journalists to do this. Look at the work done yesterday to connect the Swift boat vets to Free Republic.

I think we can do this.

5. Repub. helps collect signatures in Nevada, Nader camp denies it
It will be really hard to connect the dots with organizations like "Choices for America".

6. Good God read this
....In Philadelphia, Nader has hired a contractor to pay people to circulate his petitions.

Two attorneys for a nonprofit legal service say those workers were misleading people into signing the petitions last Friday.

Nadia Hewka said she had been walking to her office when a woman at 15th and Chestnut streets asked if she was registered to vote. When Hewka said she was, the woman asked her to sign a petition, confirming her registration.

But when Hewka unfolded the top of the petition, she saw it was really to put Nader on the ballot. The woman then claimed she did not realize that was the case.

"I could tell she was not being truthful with me," Hewka said.

To check, Hewka had another attorney walk by the corner 10 minutes later. The woman used the same approach again and, along with another worker, became angry when questioned.

Nader's petition contractor could not be reached yesterday....

7. Nader must be denounced
He is as much an enemy to the interests of this country as Bush.
