Even assuming Nader is the "spoiler" of this whole story, BUSH STILL DIDN'T WIN THE ELECTION.
The whole fucking thing was rigged; it didn't matter who else was involved or how close it was (which, really, it wasn't; this would have been more obvious had Miami -- one of our major metropolises -- had its votes counted, or had questionable Democratic votes been counted where questionable Republican votes were). Bush was going to be President; THEY had already decided that.
Nader-hate is mere distraction and right-wing propaganda intended to turn the blame on the victim, which in this case is the American people. "This is YOUR fault, if you hadn't been in-fighting and silly and idealistic about your so-called citizen's hero, none of this would have happened." All of which conveniently serves to cover up the fact that the guy stole the goddamn presidency right out from under us, using every tool of influence at his disposal.
The situation we're in is the fault of Bush and the people behind his throne, no one else. Blaming anyone else is simply playing into THEIR hands.

: One question poll: Is the blood of the Iraqi, American and British dead in this War Against Islam ultimately on the hands of Ralph Nader?
: I say yes... the guy arrogantly and naively lead the nation down a path of forgetting that we pick the lesser of two evils exactly for situations like this... and his glorywhoring in the election, instead of stepping aside and taking a cabinet post like a good little monkey, allowed the far worse of two evils to steal the election even though Gore still won.
: He left the door open in Fortress Democracy and the vandals took over the place... and this partly on that prick's head.
: Gimmie your answers.
