They don’t look for scapegoats.
They are simply stating facts. Ralph Nader, and candidates like him, take votes away from the major party candidates, potentially changing the result of the election.
That is a fact, not scapegoating.
It’s those who vote for Nader, and candidates like him, or who sit home, who look for scapegoats. They don’t want to acknowledge that the rest of the world views them as responsible for playing into the fact that third party candidates are ALWAYS nothing but spoilers. They want to blame the party, the candidates, the MSM, Hollywood, on and on . . . someone or something FORCED them to vote for a third candidate or to sit home.
Who is FORCING you not to support the Republican nominee?
No one. You are an adult who is making a volitional choice. Deal with it.

You are just assuming that the votes for the third party candidate are coming from another candidate. How do you know that the third party candidate isn't bringing out someone who wouldn't otherwise be voting?

I haven't heard one person say the party is forcing them to stay home or vote third party. If anything it is the supporter's of the main candidates that continuously trying to browbeat and force others to vote for their candidate.
Eventually people get fed up with the constant berating and throw their hands up and say, "Screw you guys. You're never getting my vote again."

I didn't realize there was a Republican nominee yet.
No one. You are an adult who is making a volitional choice. Deal with it.
Mm-hmm, I am an adult and I'll be happy with my decision in November whatever it is.
It's just too bad that McCain will have to deal with the fallout from treating so many people like crap over the past decade or so (a trait his followers are quick to emulate).
