Reply #24: You are assuming that those who voted for Nader would have [View All]

voted for Gore had Nader not been in the race. What is that based on? MM doesn't have, even now that he's way better known than he was then, the ability to change someone's mind. You are attributing powers to people like him that he simply doesn't have. Those people voted the way they wanted to and most of them would simply have stayed home if they could not find someone else to vote for. They did nto WANT to vote for either Bush or Gore. This notion that celebrities have any influence over how people vote has been proven over and over again to be false.

The truth is Gore got all the votes he was going to get, regardless of who else was running. Those who voted for someone else, did so because they did not agree with his policies. It is, as I said already, ludicrous to attribute any role in the theft of the 2000 election to MM or Nader. I don't know who started that rumor, but I suspect it was rightwingers, probably Karl Rove, trying to distract from the theft of that election which will and should go down in infamy.

Had there been no treason, not curruption by the Bush cabal and Fox and the SC and Katherine Harris and all the other felons who helped steal that election, Gore would have won.

What you are suggesting is that we discourage the democratic process of people voting for the candidate who best represents them, because we must accept the fact that our elections WILL BE STOLEN! Shifting the blame to perfectly honest people for crimes they have nothing to do with. I am so sick of this, frankly.
