In Ohio, Third-Party Candidates Could Tilt Election
Monday, November 5, 2012
It's not enough that I should vote as you tell me to vote, but I should also now parrot Michael Moore's sentiments?
12% of Florida's registered Democrats voted for Bush, yet they escape criticism. Half of all registered Democrats didn't bother to vote at all, and yet not a peep out of you. Every third-party candidate received enough votes in Florida to have cost Al Gore the election, but I don't see you condemning them. Had the Democratic Party officials in Florida done their job and actually reviewed Theresa LaPore's ballot design, more than enough Democratic voters would have filled out their ballots accurately and not voted for Pat Buchanan.
Gore lost 3 traditionally Democratic voting states (his home state of Tennessee, Bill Clinton's home state of Arkansas, and W. Virginia), any one of which would have put him over the top and he wouldn't have needed Florida, yet you continue to spout the DLC talking point designed to disempower those trying to hold Democratic politicians to Democratic Party policies (i.e., the 99%'s best interests).
Whatever the means necessary to get BushCheney into the WhiteHouse would've happened. Had Nader been in the race, had he not in the race, whatever. Had Nader not run, the outcome would've 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 for getting BushCheney into the White House required a close election and Nader not been running, some other means would've been used.
