Nader to Hit Swing States; Kerry Improves

By THEO EMERY, Associated Press Writer

BOSTON - With polls showing a narrowing gap between President Bush (news - web sites) and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), independent candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) said Sunday that he planned to continue campaigning in key battleground states in the final month of the presidential election.

In a Newsweek poll, the first taken since the debate Thursday night, Kerry was running even with Bush after having trailed him in the same survey last month. A Los Angeles Times poll of debate viewers showed favorable perceptions of Kerry rose 5 percent, but the survey of 725 registered voters indicated little change in overall backing for the two candidates.

The Times poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, was released for Sunday's editions.

The Newsweek poll showed Kerry had the support of 47 percent and Bush 45 percent, with Nader at 2 percent.

OK. Please anyone who has any type of contact with Nader please explain to him that screwing up this particular election will not do anything to further his agenda (whatever that might be now?)

2. Nader's agenda

Is allowing the re-selection of Bush and cashing a big paycheck from Rove.

3. 2 per cent can decide how FL, OH, go

Nader, for the sake of the future, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING and campaign (if you really must) in SAFE STATES.
For the love of god, what the hell is wrong with this man?!!??!

4. Selfish

Whatever the convictions of his follows, Nader's agenda is now and has been for years, solely about personal glory. It would be sad if it weren't so tragic. :puke:

5. Did I just dream that he told his swing state voters to vote Kerry?

Or am I just hoping he has some semblance of credibility and sanity left?

[WindRavenX]

6. I thought I heard that too

But...then why is he doing this? :shrug:

[grytpype]

7. Why is that little shit focusing on the swing states?

I fucking hate Nader. He's working to re-elect Bush! What the fuck is his major malfunction?

[Randi_Listener]

8. Nader is a one-trick pony

Take money from the GOP and run without a party to siphon votes from the Democrats.

11. republican tool: he just wants to make Kerry lose.

[baby_bear]

12. Does Nader criticize Kerry in his speeches?

Does he criticize Bush only?

s_m

[progressivebydesign]

16. He ABSOLUTELY attacks both! n/t

[Andromeda]

21. Yes he does.

He's an equal opportunity basher.

[dolstein]

13. Can we now officially put Nader in the same category as Bush?

After all, both candidates want to defeat Kerry.

19. Of Course, Mr. Dolstein

Wrecker Nader is a witting tool of the worst elements of reaction in our polity; he not only desires a victory for the criminals of the '00 Coup, who he so ably assisted in that year, but he is accepting eagerly their money and organizational help in his current campaign, despite the occassional lies of his mouthpieces in this regard. He is nothing but the faux left auxiliary of the Christian and Corporatist right....

15. Fuck you Nader! (I haven't said that lately, and it's time again!)

Screw you NADER and your GOP ties and money!!! You're a bigger whore than you accuse the other politicians of being. Hell.. I actually admire GEORGE BUSH more than I admire you! At least' HE'S not taking dirty money from.. say.. the Green Party to defeat John Kerry.

Take your 5,000 dollar Italian suits, and your fat portfolio, and your phoney-ass "man of the people" crap somewhere that we won't have to hear your name again. Perhaps you can buy an island and annoint yourself the fucking king of the island.. you egomaniac.


(whew, I feel better now!).

17. Ralph. "Swing states" does not mean "swing" for you.

I can only conclude that you are trying to help Bush and undermine the Democratic party as part of some future plan for yourself.

P.S. Any residual Nader supporters on this board should take note of this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=877230 in case you missed it the first time.

18. Whoring it up again

Go Ralphie... let Karl pat you on the head like the good little doggie that you are!! Yes you ARE a good doggie, yes you are! You like when Karl pats you on the head, don't you Ralphie?

"A Vote for Nader is a Vote for Bush!"

20. Why doesn't

Nader don that cape wanted to during the debates and jump off a building?

After all, he does believe he can fly doesn't he?
