Michael Moore should write his letter to the Nader Voters

[patcox2]

The ones who gave Bush Florida in 2000.

Nader said things have to get worse before better. I hope he is enjoying the catastrophes.

1. oh, come on.

n/t

2. He'd be writing a letter to himself

He voted for Nader in 2000. Granted that may have been in Michigan or New York (not sure which one), but he also campaigned for Nader, which may have encouraged swing state voters to vote for him.

Why should he care? He got a nice taxcut to boot.

3. Democracy sucks! 2 party corporatocracy

If you resist you are somehow on "their side."

4. I voted for Nader in 2000

but I wouldn't have had I been in a swing state.

5. Gore won Florida, and thus the whole country

wouldn't it be more productive to blame the thieves who are stealing our elections instead of scapegoating someone and ignoring the real problem?

6. Give him a break!

He has already beat himself up enough for supporting Nader. He has already done everything humanly possibly to let Nader voters know they were wrong. He has moved on. It's time you do too.

10. I agree

Did you see him and Bill Maher on their knees begging Nader not to run in 2004 on HBO.

7. Fuck Nader & the Corvier he drove in on.

[John Q. Citizen]

8. I wonder what would have happened if everyone who voted for

Gore had voted for Nader?

We wouldn't be in this mess now, would we?


So what's your point? Promoting divisiveness?

9. It's all Nader's fault that Gore ran a pathetic campaign.

And, managed to lose an election to a nincompoop.

13. Actualy.. he had a hand in it.

I'm not talking about Florida.

Nader wanted Bush to win over Florida. He felt that Bush couldn't screw up the Nation any worse then Gore. AND that if he did... "we" had to go down, before we would be willing to go up. That we would start taking Nature, etc.. more seriously.

When Nater campaigned, he campaigned against GORE. He was lite/soft on Bush. But Gore he pounded. He statemets were great sound bites that the republicans weould use to "prove" that Gore wasn't all he was believed to be.

There were people who wouldn't vote for Nader.. that STILL listened to him and what he said about Gore.

Alot of Nader voters and followers didn't know until after the election that Nader wanted Bush to win over Gore.

So the Nader comments isn't always about the vote count. Nader did do alot of PR damage to the Gore campaign. I could understand if Gore wasn't so envirmentaly friendly. ;)

11. Oh god, it was just a matter of time before the Nader wars

ignited again. :eyes: I wish we have the hide thread function back.

12. He is a Nader voter. Actively campaigned for him n/t

14. Nader who?

"Last Year's Man"

The rain falls down on last year's man,
that's a jew's harp on the table,
that's a crayon in his hand.
And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
far past the stems of thumbtacks
that still throw shadows on the wood.
And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year's man.
I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
oh one by one she had to tell them
that her name was Joan of Arc.
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;
I want to thank you, Joan of Arc,
for treating me so well.
And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
all these wounded boys you lie beside,
goodnight, my friends, goodnight.

I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
Bethlehem the bridegroom,
Babylon the bride.
Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
and Bethlehem inflamed us both
like the shy one at some orgy.
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail.

Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Cain
so I hang upon my altar
and I hoist my axe again.
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
when Jesus was the honeymoon
and Cain was just the man.
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
that the wilderness is gathering
all its children back again.

The rain falls down on last year's man,
an hour has gone by
and he has not moved his hand.
But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
the lovers will rise up
and the mountains touch the ground.
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
and all the rain falls down amen
on the works of last year's man.

15. Locking....

This is flamebait and it continues
the arguements from earlier threads
which were locked.
