Nader's Party and McCain's Party aren't identical, but ......
There are some similarities. For example, some of the big donations received by Nader's Party come from the same people who make big donations to McCain's Party.

Can you think of some other similarities?

2. Most organizations like to receive money.

At least you can't say that a certain Saudi prince owns New York City.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks.

6. Yes - voting for either of them will enable the same exact results
helping to get a Republican elected.

11. Which is why I am hoping Sen. Obama does something about the
crappy state of the election system in this country.

7. Nader's an Independent, but, he's very like MCcain. He's running for revenge, ego,
and has drastically outived his political usefulness.

10. It's similar to the GOP's support of the Green candidate in PA in 2006
They were trying to siphon off some of the Democratic support in an attempt to save Santorum's carrer. The donors to the Green candidate were almost all high dollar GOP donors, including Erik Prince of Blackwater fame.

I suspect that a lot of Nader's donors are also GOP donors looking to pull whatever votes they can from Obama.
