No it isn't.

The Republicans will gleefully finance his campaign again in 2004, just as they
did in 2000.


Let's see - a new Grady, a new Parker, or a check to Ross. Hard choice!

Perot only got Clinton elected once. The Republicans got Clinton elected
the 2nd time, by running Dole. Could you pick a much worse candidate?


Mike Dukakis?

He at least looked like Al E. Newman. So maybe a little more electable. ;)

Sort of like Perot putting Clinton in office.


It would be interesting to know if the Democrats were supporting Perot's
campaign financially. I don't recall.

As for Nader, he showed himself to be the consumate whore a few weeks before
the 2000 election. An investigation revealed that Republican interests (not the
GOP directly) were making monstrous contributions to Nader's campaign efforts,


Is this report available to all of us, or is it just another "air"
report, made up to make a point?


particularly in states where the race between Gore and Bush seemed tight.
When challenged with the results of this investigation in a news conference,
Nader the Whore said, "I don't care where the money comes from."

With an attitude like that, he should have gone into politics years ago rather
than
build an entire career knocking the Corvair.

By way of specific example,
I posted a link to an article discussing the
Republican Leadership Conference paying for pro-Nader/ anti-Gore TV commercials
in several states.

Did you not see it?

Here it is:

Republican Organization To Broadcast Pro-Nader Spot (posted October 28, 2000)

The Republican Leadership Council, a group with close ties to GOP candidate
George W. Bush, has announced that it will broadcast ads in Washington,
Wisconsin, and Oregon featuring Green Party candidate Ralph Nader. The spot
shows Nader attacking Gore's environmental record in an effort to help Bush. In
the commercial, Nader says, "Al Gore is suffering from election year delusion
if he thinks his record on the environment is anything to be proud of....Eight
years of principles betrayed and promises broken."

This is the first time a group with ties to a major party candidate has run ads
touting a third party candidate in an effort to hurt the opponent. The strategy
is risky if voters see the commercial for what it is, a cynical effort to boost
Nader's vote in hopes of harming the Democratic presidential candidate. That
type of tactic may backfire against the GOP ticket.

You reposted 40 lines of text to add that?

Put a sock by the chimney, Wally. Maybe the fat elf in the red suit will bring
you a brain for Christmas and you'll be able to form complete sentences in
2004.
