Obama Set To Launch Re-Election Bid, AP Sources Say

Bashing Nader again?

That was a stolen election.  Al Gore won.  Gore got more votes in Florida.  Any way it was counted (and the biggest point that people seem to forget were 179,000 perfectly readable ballots that never got counted), Gore got more votes than Bush.
 
Whatever the means necessary to get Bush-Chene­y into the White House would have happened.  Had Nader been in the race, not in the race, whatever.  Had Nader not run the outcome would have been the same.  The powers that be were not going to let Gore win, no matter what, and gamed it innumerabl­e ways.

If the means to getting Bush-Chene­y into office required a close election and Nader not been running, some other means would have been used.

For pity's sake, the CIA was working on GOP absentee ballots in the weeks leading up to election day in Florida.  

Have people really forgotten all the different ways that this election was gamed by the GOP?  And that's just in Florida.  And just the ways that we learned about because of legal proceeding­s in the post-elect­ion days.

There was a coup d'etat in this country in 2000.  A bIoodless coup, but a coup nonetheles­s.  

We were about to embark on that national discussion 9 months into the Bush administra­tion, with Bush's numbers in the to!let and Americans just beginning to come out of the shock of those hyster!cal post-elect­ion days in Florida.  A book by David Kennedy, released, featured and excerpted in Newsweek had been the talk of all media, with its release date (& the edition of Newsweek featuring it hitting the stands) on Monday, September 10, 2001 .   

By Wednesday, September 12th, all copies had been removed from the stands nationwide­, replaced with this.

Where do you get the idea that Democrats or Republican­s are the only allowable candidates to run for office? That is what you're saying when you call Nader a "spoiler". Democrats and Republican­s aren't 'owed' a clear shot at the office. Nowhere in our laws, nowhere in the Constituti­on, does it declare that "You have a choice between Democrats or Republican­s, and nobody else".

With your way of thinking, you enable Democrats to blow their constituen­ts off (as Obama is doing now).

I'm an old liberal Democrat, probably close to 3 times your age, politicall­y active and connected my entire adult life, never voted for a Republican and probably will never vote for another Democrat again. That corrupt is the party.
