Reply #22: The 20% of registered Democrats who voted for Bush [View All]

[library_max]

weren't Democrats. We've been through this before. In many parts of the South, you have to register as a Democrat to have a meaningful vote in local elections, even if you are the Republicaniest Republican who ever walked. The people who voted for Bush wanted Bush. It's foolish to complain about them making the kind of mistake the Nader voters made.

The nonsense about the Gore campaign "forcing" voters to vote for Nader is the old Games-People-Play game called Look What You Made Me Do. It's nonsense of course - people are responsible for their own actions.

Had Gore not appealed to the center, he would actually have lost the election rather than winning it by too narrow a margin, just like every candidate before him who failed to appeal to the center.

Want to keep playing?
