A copy of a Nader support letter from a GOP site
MI GOP Alert: All Out for Nader


9 July 04


TO: Republican Leaders
FR: Greg McNeilly


Executive Director


Your help is needed in the next five days to ensure that Michigan
voters are not disenfranchised. Michigan Democrats are trying to
block an independent candidate from having access to the ballot in
Michigan. More specifically, they want Nader off the ballot.


In 2000, Ralph Nader got 1.8% of the vote in Michigan. According to
Detroit News pollster Steve Mitchell (6/30/04) Ralph Nader is
currently pulling 4% among Michigan voters. Those voters deserve the
option and choice!


Michigan Democrats today announced that they fear Ralph Nader’s access
to the ballot will prevent John Kerry from winning Michigan.


In 1992 and 1996 Ross Perot was on the Michigan ballot. Many
Republican strategists believed this hurt Republican candidates. It
may have. But the Republican Party never tried to deny access nor
disenfranchise voters by opposing ballot access for Perot.


This election will be close. Michigan Democrats are going to try
every dirty trick possible.


While the Michigan Republicans are expending no funds to assist
Nader’s efforts, we are seeking volunteer help to ensure Nader’s
ballot access.


Right now, today, we need to assist efforts to provide Ralph Nader
access to Michigan’s ballot. Please contact your local Victory Center
to help, our Lansing headquarters or click here for a link to obtain a
petition from the Nader campaign: http://www.migop.org/nader.asp


(Nader volunteers will collect the petitions from there)

Muy interesting, no?

not breaking news, but it does show the depth of their despair and fear.

1. How touching.. the GOP suddenly CARES about disenfranchising voters!
This is nauseating. Nader should be locked away somewhere... he's lost his mind. I had pegged him years ago as an egomanaical fraud.. I always wondered why the Greens embraced him, because he really is a fake. He can take his 5,000 italian suits, and his fat investment portfolio (with hallburton stock) and go fuck himself... and let his GOP friends watch.

Only a moron would vote for that cretin. Taking money from the GOP... yeah, Ralph, WAY to show your integrity. Nauseating and probably illegal.

2. At least the Repugs are OUT with their support for Nader. Now if only
Nader would admit he is a Bush supporter, he may gain back a shred of integrity.

3. Nader reminds me of Alan Keyes.
Credibility, integrity, honesty - the last think that might cross their grey matter.

it matters not one bit whether others think that they are popular. They are. In their own opinion, of course. Prior successes (at least as to Nader) drives their ego. Keyes' radio personality was so abrasive and abusive, that he is immune to even constructive criticism.

The beauty of today's political whirled is that more and more people are recognizing just how bad Nader, Keyes, Bush and others are. Now, if Kerry could just present his message a tiny bit better . . . . . . . .
