Let's all blame Nader!!!

[optoman]

Do you think that the results would of been different? I was more for Gore because of his attitude with the environment and hate the idea that women's rights just went out the door. When all you women come crying don't blame me. Better grab your RU486 soon!

 

[RipRidah]

I dont think Bush is seeking to ban RU486 or whatever it is according to his website

 

[optoman]

He is against abortion and will probably send up to 3 new judges to the Supreme court. The new panel of judges will be against abortion and hence RU486.

thank you nadar!

 

[IBhacknU]

as dc said, if this is Nader's fault, then thanks

 

[Aquaman]

Everyone who voted for Nader (ie. enviromentalist and WTO protesters, etc.) will have to live with a Bush Whitehouse & control of the houses.

Cheers,
Aquaman

 

[RipRidah]

about the supreme court justices thing, I heard it was policy to only step down only when someone of your own party holds the presidential office so you can be replaced by someone of your own party

 

[bigvince]

blame him, we should congratulate him......yeaaaaa Nader!

 

[Holycrap]

rip: yes and no - there are justices who may not last out another 4 years for health reasons -- - it is far from an easy job.

As to Nader- IF, and that's a big IF, a large proportion of his votes went to GOre, we'd have a different president.

 

[IBhacknU]

Hey HolyCrap,

where have you been this evening?

 

[Russ]

Ah, the libs are whining because the shoe is on the other foot. Didn't see any of them complaining when Perot handed it to Slick Willy in '92.

What Russ said.

 

[gtbuzz]

don't think nader cost gore the election, although it made it closer. he garnered a mere 2.5% of the popular vote (WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?????), while in 92, perot got 19%.

vote lp in 2004.

 

[optoman]

Not whining, but am rather troubled by some of Bush's ideas. I don't think its really going to matter to much in the long run for the US. Just hate it when politicians start to take away our rights. I would rather of lost guns than rights for women. I could be wrong but we will see in the future. Congrat to George Bush. I actually think that it was a kickass election. More people then ever got involved and this is the biggest thing to come out of the elections.

 

[Napalm381]

Russ hit it dead on. Live with it, lefties

 

[kyutip]

As much as I hate to be a whiner,
I'll have to agree that Nader does made a difference.
If only those people that voted for him vote for Gore things would be different now.
Well, I guess we'll have to brace for 4 years of Bush with his NRA, Oil Drilling, Tobacco smoking, inmate executioning policy.
Oh and for you Nader supporter, welcome to environment from hell.

 

[kyutip]

gtbuzz: it's not popular vote that decide the precidency. Have you watch TV lately ?

 

[gtbuzz]

i'm well aware that the popular vote does not decide the election. but the fact that perot got 19% of the popular vote back in 92 show that there was a significant loss of voters for bush sr. don't quote me on this one, but those losses could have contributed to losing the electors in states such as florida, pennsylvania, etc.

 

[gtbuzz]

and no, i hate news on the tv. so damned biased.

 

[Russ]

<< I actually think that it was a kickass election >>



Absolutely! Nearly the funnest election night I've ever been through, and I've been through MANY! The only that have been more exciting, were those when I was on the ballot.

Russ, NCNE

 

[pidge]

Perot got 19% of the votes in 92 and 9% in 96. Both cases, if the votes would have gone to the GOP candidate, then we wouldn't have Clinton as President. However, you didn't hear the press complaining or the GOP complaining. Live with it.

 

[fragarific]

for next post, keep rolling eyes downward

 

[mosdef]

But the Perot supporters were split fairly evenly between voting for Clinton and Bush, so it is possible that his 19% might not have had as much of an impact as Nader's <5%.
