7/2     Democrats suck.  I will *never* for *any* of your guys again.
        [non-shortened URL deleted]
        \_ ha! ha!! haaaaaa!!!! There is justice, after all.
           \_ shutting down a rival candidate through dirty legal tricks is
              justice?  thats good for democracy?  get a real candidate and
              you wouldn't have to worry so much about second party
              candidates.  your guy is dirty and ugly and has no honor.
              \_ but Nader smells! Nader also can't get laid.
        \_ Yeah, but you never voted for any of our guys before, so it is
           no loss.
           \_ I did before I learned you're the same as the other half of
              your party.  I won't again.  Nor will many others. -eyes open now
              \_ Actually, I used to be a Green. I even spent weeks on
                 Telegraph Ave collecting signatures to get the Green
                 Party on the ballot. But I have decided to switch to
                 Democrat precisely because of immature whiney actions
                 like Nader's. He has no "right" to be on the ballot and
                 if he can't gather the signatures then he should just shut up.
                 \_ Hello?  This is America.  He has *every* right to run.  It
                    isn't a "right".  It's a right.  An important one.  If he
                    can't get the signnatures then why are the dirty Dems so
                    worried and impassionaed about him?  If he was such a weak
                    candidate why are they so concerned?  You're no different
                    than Bush and his cronies.  You're all cynical and evil.
                    You weren't a Green.  You were a power hungry leftist with
                    no sense of the importance of clean government.  You're all
                    about winning at any cost.  Some costs are too high.
                    \_ He cannot get the signatures or he would be on
                       the ballot. Stop twisting my words. The "dirty
                       Dems" just asked him to verify his signatures and
                       he could not. If he can't get a mere 20,000 signatures
                       in a state the size of Arizona, his campaign is
                       pathetic. I was part of a group that got 10,000
                       signatures in 6 weeks. There were 10 of us volunteering
                       our time. We collected them all from San Francisco
                       voters. This implies that Nader can't get 20 dedicated
                       volunteers in the whole state. Where was your
                       outrage over The Republican Party illegally helping
                       Nader get on the ballot in Oregon?
                    \_ If your eyes are "wide open" now, then you'll realize
                       that there is no such thing as a clean government. You
                       will also realize that Nader had 0% chance of being
                       president. Nader is on a crusade to punish the Dems. He
                       did it in '00, and he wants to repeat the same in '04.
                       The greens must have been shitting some serious spinach
                       the last four years, and have realized that backing
                       Nader was the most horrible "naiive" mistake they've
                       ever made. Nader should go back to doing what he's good
                       at: consumer protections. That's all he was ever good
                       at doing.
        \_ I voted Nader twice, and now that I know he is anti-Israel,
           I would rather vote far-right or Republican.
