2004: Republicans fund Nader as Electoral Weapon

[meow mix]

The move intensifies the war between Republicans and Democrats over Mr Nader's candidacy, a conflict fuelled by the maverick's willingness to accept funds and help from some of George Bush's most ardent supporters.

Republicans are eager to see Mr Nader do well -
not because of his stand on the environment or Iraq -but in the hope that he will tip the balance towards Mr Bush in the race against John Kerry, the Democratic challenger. But the Democrats have stood their ground, with activists harrying Mr Nader's effort to get on the ballot in several states.

1. Meow-Mix I caught something about that this morning

As we know, Nader is progressive. If anyone doesn't know the history of Nader should read up on it. He's an interesting read. Anyway, back to the point of the thread, in a Huckabee interview this morning he stated he was glad Nader was running this year because it only takes away from the democratic vote. So I have to agree with your post.

2. they finance him, he gladly accepts it and then damages dems.

this makes him a rightwing fighter because his words do not make up for his actions.
he needs to be stripped of his liberal progressive labels lol need a national smear campaign to relabel him appropriatly.

3. 0.38% - Yeah, a lot of good that did

People here way overestimate Nader. Nobody gives a shit about him except perhaps Nader himself and his massive ego.
