With Nader's announcement today, this is my vow:
That I will do everything humanly possible to make sure John Kerry or John Edwards beats Bush by such a large margin that Mr. Nader's "crusade" becomes irrelevant.

I was motivated before, but, damn, I'm really motivated now. Anyone with me?

1. That's a big vow
even including fraud? or malignant "doings" like murder?

13. By Whatever Means Necessary, Sir
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 05:58 PM by The Magistrate
Fraud in particular might well be helpful in certain circumstances....

2. I'm on board, big time.
Nader blew it. I'll fight till I drop dead from exhaustion to make sure that Repuke Ralph has absolutely NO negative effect on OUR DEMOCRATIC candidate! Kerry or Edwards has my 100% support and committment.

8. First things first: Let Edwards defeat Kerry!
Edwards will defeat Bush no matter how many Naders run for President.

Kerry is unelectable!

12. Kerry is not "unelectable"
or he would not be winning in the primaries. Edwards has NO read NO foreign policy experience, we can not afford to train on the job with national and foreign policy.

11. Sounds like a plan.
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 05:59 PM by lib4life
Frankly, I'm not opposed to the idea of Nader running in principle. I think it's legitimate to suggest that if the Democratic margin of victory is so small that Naderites would have any effect at all, then we've got bigger problems. Simply put, 2000 shouldn't have been that close, and Gore should've won in a landslide. Of course we can blame Katherine Harris, SCOTUS, the anti-Gore media, etc., but the point is made.

14. Won't take much
Since nader won't get more than .75 % of the vote in swing states, you're talking about beating chimp by 3-4 k in FL, MO, OH, NH and WV.

The important thing now is to destroy Nader.
