Sorry about the earlier oops.

Wish Nader were on the ballot, but if you don't get the votes, you don't get the votes.

So, what is his problem? Don't Nader supporters know how to write? Write him in.

So much for having 'Every Vote Count'. I guess in the Rats minds this only means if you are voting for Kerry instead of Bush. You only get two choices in their version of democracy.

A state court cited legal problems with his nomination papers that left him thousands of signatures short of the number required for the Nov. 2 ballot.

A similar problem occurred in Oregon. There, the Secretary of State (?) (Maybe Atty General) who was supposed to count the petition signatures allegedly checked a few at random, and found a whole page which he questioned as in the same handwriting, By using the ratio of these to real signatures in the sample, he declared that a large amount of the total were bogus, and thus Nader did not get on the ballot.

Even the TV news did not try to pretend that this procedure had any legitimacy. Just a blatant rat trick.

This really su**s. Nader should be on the ballot. Trust the Dems to challenge his signatures in the beginning and to pursue this issue with a vengeance.

Are the Dems concerned with invalid signatures in their registration process? Hell no!

When we parrot the line, "but Nader didn't get enough valid signatures", we're playing into the hands of the Dem strategists, which is: UPHOLD THE LETTER OF THE LAW for you, for Nader, for the Pubbies, but NEVER for the Dems!
