What happened in 2000 is Bush stole the election...SCOTUS let him do it... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #3

The election would not have been in doubt for the SC to steal, save the 97k Nader votes in Florida. bluestate10 Sep 2012 #13

I didn't vote for Nader, so I'm not the one to say it... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #17

The election would have not been in doubt if 300,000 Democratic Floridians had not voted for Bush. Luminous Animal Sep 2012 #23

Yep, got a quote right from Ralph. FRN. nt bluestate10 Sep 2012 #68

bullshit. The election was never "in doubt!" gore won. Every way it was counted. And it was robinlynne Sep 2012 #55

That is the same Gore who won his home state? Sherman A1 Sep 2012 #65

Did you miss the supreme court? And the vote count done later by the U of chicago? robinlynne Sep 2012 #81

Assuming, of course, that some of those 97K wouldn't have voted for Bush dflprincess Sep 2012 #72

And, unfortunately, people have wasted the last 12 years dreaming of fucking Nader. Luminous Animal Sep 2012 #26

They need to get over Nader and focus on what you mention... joeybee12 Sep 2012 #31

Nader has been irrelevant for 12 years, but he makes a convenient excuse Lydia Leftcoast Sep 2012 #118

Utter nonsense. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #4

You think what you think.. Stuart G Sep 2012 #8

300,000 Democratic Floridians voted for Bush. Perhaps you should save a bit of that vitriol for Luminous Animal Sep 2012 #21

there is never, ever a response to this when it's posted.. frylock Sep 2012 #50

Still not war crimes, not matter how you spin it ProgressiveProfessor Sep 2012 #35

Please explain how you think you can spin this into a war crime. n/t cherokeeprogressive Sep 2012 #45

no it did not make any difference. Gore won by a large margin anyway. robinlynne Sep 2012 #56

Really? Nader's words quoted and my arithmetic. bluestate10 Sep 2012 #24

Then Gore should have sought out the votes of the left that he didn't appeal to. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #39

No, I don't think that's true. Bonobo Sep 2012 #90

He knew what he was doing, and he had plenty of opportunity to change course. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #93

Yeah, but that doesn't mean he was working for the GOP as you said, Warren. Bonobo Sep 2012 #98

In 2000, I could accept that he was just misguided. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #101
