These Republicans appear to be very happy that Nader may run

[NNN0LHI]

They are sending money to his campaign and everything. How nice, Wonder why they would do that? They must just like Ralph or something.

That's great. All the Deaniacs will have someone to vote for and they will cancel out all the ultra conservatives who are POd at President Bush. :-)

[Hav]

13. boy...

they are as enthusiastic as some are here.

"four more years", indeed...

[onebigbadwulf]

2. I'm happy too...

it will finally show the Democrats that they're impotent without appealing to their left base like the Repubs appeal to their right base.

Then maybe we can elect someone who isn't a pro-war pro-no child left behind pro-corporate repub light clone.

[Guava Jelly]

3. Or we can dice up the vote and help bush

Be careful what you wish for

[NNN0LHI]

4. You are in good company then n/t

[BeatleBoot]

6. November's battle will not be at the ends

of the political spectrum.

It will be for the middle.

That is a stone cold fact.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

7. Perhaps you deserve to live under Dictator Bush.

But I do not. Nor do the majority of Americans. Nader will make this reality.

Doesn't Nader realize that he can side with us, the people who share the vast majority of his ideals, or fight for one or two other issues that he doesn't quite 100% agree with us on and lose EVERYTHING he holds sacred??? Is he that big of an asshole??

[rpf113]

21. Yes,

he is that much of an asshole. Believe it.

[Dookus]

8. Yes...

that strategy worked so well in 2000.

Clearly, the far-left candidates have run away with the primaries. Why, on a good day, Kucinich gets 2%! Rah rah!!

Elections aren't won on the fringes. The 3% of far-left populists doesn't make up for the 30% of independents/centrists to be had by NOT going to the extreme left.

But petulance and spite seem to be the order of the day, so by all means, let's have four more years of Bush just to punish the voters for not catering to the fringe.

The idea that Democrats need to be punished is insane. They're out of power, if you hadn't noticed. Not the White House, not the Congress, not the courts - nothing. And the outcome of that situation is obvious AND horrendous. But because dems voted for a bipartisan education bill sponsored by Ted Kennedy, they deserve eternal banishment.

Fuck that.

[ContinentalOp]

19. This doesn't make any sense.

So which is it? Those "3% of far-leftists" aren't worth including in the party because "elections aren't won on the fringes"? Or Nader is a spoiler who is going to ruin the Democratic party by siphoning off that same 3%? I don't see how you can have it both ways. If Nader is in fact stealing voters from the Democratic party isn't it the party's job to connect with those voters and win them back?

[newyawker99]

22. Hi ContinentalOp!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[blondeatlast]

24. Wish I'd said that. You are right on target, Dookus.

[oxymoron]

32. Right On Dookus!

I agree 100%.

[Piperay]

35. That's been tried, it didn't work then

and it won't work now.

[BeatleBoot]

5. I can just see Karl Rove

high fiving Cheney and Rummy saying, "...everything is working according to plan..."

[PDittie]

9. Two can play this game

Judge Roy Moore of Alabama is considering a run on the Constitution Party ticket.

Let's all go encourage him:

The worldnetdaily report ( http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36899 ) quotes columnist John Fund of the Wall Street Journal ( http://www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110004635 ), who is in turn quoting an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report that Moore was "treated like a rock star, signing autographs and getting thunderous standing ovations" at last Saturday's Christian Coalition "Family and Freedom" rally in Atlanta, where he was a featured speaker....

Moore is being courted by the Constitution Party, which has the third largest voter registration in the US, and which fielded its 2000 presidential candidate in 48 states (although in seven states he qualified only as a write-in candidate). Were Moore to run on the CP's religious conservative ticket, he could pose a serious challenge to Bush's chances of reelection....

And in her column at newswithviews.com on Tuesday, Kelly McGinley concludes:

"It is well past time to be loyal to Christ instead of the Republican Party. Time to stand for righteousness. It is time for a third party; the Constitution Party is the one I have in mind. Visit their website at www.constitutionparty.com. Check out their party platform and their candidates and you will see a big difference. Maybe if we practice tough love the Republican Party would repent and come back to its platform. But if not, duty is duty. Let righteousness ring!"

I think Judge Moore deserves all the support we can give. Don't you?;)

[NNN0LHI]

10. And a week before the election he will throw his support to Chimpy

Don't send this asshole a dime or give any credence to him whatsoever. He has proved he is a criminal already with his actions.

Don

[nightperson]

11. Thanks for trying to educate people.

Some choice quotes: "a great day for conservatives", "four more years", "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!", "Where do I send money????", "My thoughts exactly...but I wonder if we need to hide out enthusiasm?". Off-topic a bit, and not to sound too heretical, but I've wondered for a while if this site and that site may eventually have so many problems with internal wars, infiltrators, etc., that they will just decide to merge into one colossal political free-for-all! Nader supporters arguing with Kerry supporters arguing with paleoconservatives who are arguing with neoconservatives who are arguing with some guy pitching an 800 page manifesto he cranked out in his parents' basement, etc.. Who can keep track of let alone regulate all the fiercely conflicting currents just within one party? Anyone know what I mean? Hope that doesn't sound too crazy or offensive. I really think that may be the eventual situation, if not here then on some new site. Whatevvvvvvver :crazy: :shrug: :tinfoilhat: :scared: :silly: :eyes: .

[NNN0LHI]

12. Shameless kick n/t

[NNN0LHI]

14. Another shameless kick n/t

[NNN0LHI]

15. Another n/t

[The Magistrate]

16. Of Course They Are Happy, My Friend

The enemy understands the political battlefield, and counts of the self-indulgence and self-delusion of left purist splinter factionalists as one of their chief aids to victory. These wretches can be relied on to take the wrecker's course and act as tools of reaction in the false belief that by doing so they are "making a stand" and somehow vindicating left principles while acting in a way that provides material assistance to the worst elements of reaction. You may depend upon any effort by Nader receiving a good deal of financing from Republican sources: the enemy will do all they can to prop up this traitorous wrecker....

"Kill one, warn one hundred."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[NNN0LHI]

17. the enemy will do all they can to prop up this traitorous wrecker....

Yes, Sir. The stakes have become too high for the Republicans now. If they lose in November some of them will be going to jail and they know it.

Don

[NNN0LHI]

18. kick em up

[NNN0LHI]

20. again n/t

[blondeatlast]

23. I kinna figured that they'd be dancing in the aisles.

Now do you Naderites get it?

[snippy]

25. Nader can't change the fact that Bush is an incessant and compulsive liar.

Nader has not had any effect whatsoever on Bush's approval ratings since 9/11. Except for the occasional bump, those ratings have declined steadily. Day by day and voter by voter, Bush himself is convincing the American people that he should not be president.

[NNN0LHI]

26. kick

[Guava Jelly]

27. new Logo

[blondeatlast]

29. Hah! ROFL!

[fishnfla]

28. I cant bear to look

are they creaming themselves over there?

[Doomsayer13]

30. Yup

Freepers seemed really happy.

[Piperay]

31. That pretty much says it all

of course they are happy because it is now two against one, chimp & Ralphie verses the Democratic nominee. :argh:

[edzontar]

33. I wonder if they read some of the panicky threads here and

Figured the Dems were scared?

[JHBowden]

34. Four more years of Bush *is* scary.

And some seem enthusiastic about giving it to him, along with a term for Jeb on the side.
