35. Nader and the Greens did NOT give us Bush. The Democrats did.

Sorry, Nader took equally from BOTH parties. In Florida he took 1% each from Gore and Bush, thereby cancelling out any real influence on the outcome. But the dirty little secret that the DNC won't tell you is that 13% of Democrats voted for BUSH. THEY are the ones who gave us Bush.

If you put up a DLC corporatist Democrat instead of a progressive, you lose. It's like what Truman said - if given the choice of a phony Democrat and a true Republican, people will go for the real thing.
