1. This is not necessarily bad news for us

Especially if Nader continues to hammer Bush.

[Robin Hood]

4. Yeah, like that will happen.

He lent his support for Bush over Gore in 2000. What makes you think that he will hammer Bush? He will most likely hammer on kerry or whomever becomes the nominee.

[onehandle]

5. As I said in another thread...

"he won't be much of a factor. His credibility is near zero now. Additionally, I doubt he'll be able to get on hardly any ballots at this point."

Let the freeps have their party and waste their energy on this. Bush is toast in November.

[Brian Sweat]

16. He doesn't have to get on a lot of ballots.

Just the right ballots. Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire and a few other close states.

[lancdem]

8. I'm not so sure it's bad news, either

Frankly, I think it's safe to say a good chunk of Nader voters in this case wouldn't have voted for Kerry or Edwards anyway. Dems will be backing our nominee quite strongly.

[lancdem]

2. I hate to break it to them

But there's a good chance Nader may not even make it on the ballot in a lot of states because he doesn't have the Green Party organization helping him get the thousands of signatures he needs. I saw this mentioned in an AP article.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. Just keep him the **** out of Florida (nt)

[lancdem]

11. Amen to that

[mojo2004]

3. Nader won't take that many votes away....

unless Kerry moves too far to the center. Kerry is just gonna have to show there are key differences in taxes, gay rights, war, etc.

[Walt Starr]

7. As long as Democrats pre-emtively ennunciate the distinctions

this could be good for the party.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. I don't think Nader will have the impact he did in 2000

Those that vote third party do so regardless of the Democrat running. A lot of the crossover Democratic vote in 2000 will vote for the Dem nominee this time.

The freepers rejoice too soon. Bush will go down, unless he finds a way of stealing another election.

[AntiSmirk]

10. Nader is not going to get the votes he did in 2000

At least he's not going to be taking away from the Dem candidate. ABB feelings are too strong and many people learned from the 2000 mistake. My feeling is that whatever votes Ralphie gets will be from folks who otherwise would have stayed home.

[lancdem]

12. I agree

[Old and In the Way]

19. From a BBV standpoint, it sure would be convenient to have him

on a ballot and provide a convenient place to park votes.

[mhr]

13. If You Want To Neutralize Nader Vote Kucinich

Ralph will not run, if Kucinich is the nominee!

[yellowcanine]

14. They must really be worried about Bush losing

if they are creaming in their pants over Nader getting into the race. Nader will be an * this time around but I am glad they will have a little false hope. Maybe it will make them complacent.

[cprise]

15. Kinda like some DUers when they talk about Buchanan

.

[yellowcanine]

17. Buchanan probably wouldn't hurt Bush much either but

McCain would. It would be Bull Moose (1912) all over again.

[lcooksey]

18. Every dollar a freeper sends to Nader

Is one less for Bush.

Now if only we could get Roy Moore to run then we'd have an exciting four way race in November. Just imagine the debates. Yikes.

[derby378]

20. To all FReepers

One of you just posted this on FreeRepublic:

Time to hit a certain Web Site That Must Not Be Named with a bit of gushing enthusiasm for Nader. He's America's only hope. Really!

Sooooooooooo, you admit to using deception and trickery whenever expedient, eh? I admire your momentary burst of honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come on over to my house and...uh, never mind. I gotta stop watching Full Metal Jacket while I'm on-line...

In any case - WE GOT YOUR BUTTS IN A SLING. Deal with it for once, will you?

[snippy]

21. The coprophagic freepers who post here are like Bush himself,

completely lacking in honesty and integrity. They love their money more than they love their country. Again, just like Bush.

[Skittles]

22. LOL, it must be pretty bad if Nader is America's "only hope"

says a lot about King George, doesn't it ?
