Maverick presidential candidate Ralph Nader is accusing the Kerry campaign of launching a "Watergate"-style dirty tricks operation in a bid to keep him off the ballot in November.
Nader personally leveled the allegation in a conversation with John Kerry Tuesday morning, and detailed the exchange later in the day for national radio host Sean Hannity.
"I said, 'You better look and see what your Democrats are doing here because they can get in trouble'. . . . I told him, 'This could be a kind of Watergate.'"
Nader said that Kerry has "got these rambunctious, aggressive underlings of his" who have been infiltrating his events and sabotaging his efforts to get on the ballot.
Kerry told Nader that he didn't know what he was taking about but promised to look into it.
"I think Terry McAuliffe is going to be called by Kerry," Nader told Hannity, "because he told me last week that he's supporting these kind of interferences."
Nader said that while he still considers Kerry a personal friend, he's staying in the race till the bitter end.
Asked about the complaint that he was hurting Kerry's chances to defeat Bush, Nader shot back, "He's hurting my chances."
so there!! neh neh neh neh neh!!!
These guys are great...
Unfortunately, Nader's known as a bit of a loon so no one's going to listen.
Better to be Nader and known as a loon than McAuliff known as a goon.

will this turn into KetchupGate?

Except the media hated Nixon so they want after Watergate like jackals. They love Kerry, so any dirty tricks will be conveniently ignored.
Nadergate Bump.
Ya see, one of Kerry's associates got some friends to break
into the Nader headquarters looking for information on his
ex-wife who used to be a hooker and it all started going down hill from there......

Oh, right.
I think the deal is that Nader probably is cheating and the Dems have every right to call him on it.
On the other hand, for the Dems to insist on punctilious adherence to the law as a condition of democratic participation is incredibly hypocritical--or at least it would be incredible, if we weren't talking about Democrats.
---Unfortunately, Nader's known as a bit of a loon so no one's going to listen.---
The kind of people who voted for Nader will listen. A lot of them won't vote for that weasel Kerry if Nader says Kerry's dirty.
---I think the deal is that Nader probably is cheating and the Dems have every right to call him on it. ---
Nader isn't the type to cheat or tolerate it in his organization. Nader is a sort of latter day Puritan.
bttt
I'm gettin' in my Corvair and driving over to the DNC to pointlessly bitch and whine. And I ain't wearin' my seat belt!
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Larry, Curly and Moe.
Kerry has had his own 'Watergate', where his brother and another of Kerry's campaign workers were arrested after breaking in to his rival's office in Massachusetts.
