87. Nope. Not Ralph Nader

Tue May 31, 2016, 07:54 PM

May 2016

Gore won the most votes. That's no longer in dispute. Election fraud by the Republican party and a perfidous supreme cout handed Florida to the Republican who did not garner the most votes.

"Ralph Nader" is what right-winger teabagger semicrats shout to try to blame the left for what their fellow right-wingers did. Nothing else.
