Because DUers don't vote Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #76

Sure, fuck Nader. But to be consistent, also fuck all the people and all the sociopolitical nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #21

Reagan Democrats on the other hand are the base of the party Fumesucker Apr 2014 #49

Some ProSense Apr 2014 #54

But some of us never bring up the Democrats who voted for Dubya, instead always focus on Nader Fumesucker Apr 2014 #59

Let me ProSense Apr 2014 #81

Perhaps Democrats should appeal more to those on the left then Fumesucker Apr 2014 #90

Umm, Auntie? RobertEarl Apr 2014 #37

When the votes were counted Al Gore had won. Blame a corrupt supreme court. Autumn Apr 2014 #50

I don't think Nader should have run because he divided the Dem vote Auntie Bush Apr 2014 #16

Nader took thousands of votes from Gore. Auntie Bush Apr 2014 #18

I see what you're doing Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #19

Nader took thousands of votes BUT RoccoR5955 Apr 2014 #27

So in all your wisdom explain this one to me nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #32

Gore must really resent Nader since he's responsible for him losing Auntie Bush Apr 2014 #20

Sure Nader (unwittingly) played a role in Bush's (s)election, but he wasn't the only factor nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #25

Fork up ProSense...you owe Nader $50 bucks! Auntie Bush Apr 2014 #22

LOL! n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #23

See, now *this* is a personal attack nt MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #30

Wrong, you interpreted as a personal attack. However, from your previous posts Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #31

Yup some folks are on a roll nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #33

There will always be a group of conservative religious Democrats who will tend for vote Republican. DCBob Apr 2014 #41

One would hope they grew out of worshiping Reagan. Rex Apr 2014 #42

they are republicans now, the reagan democrats were mainly dixiecrats JI7 Apr 2014 #44

Reagan took every State but one. Not all 'dixicrats' at alll. Bluenorthwest Apr 2014 #58

Thanks for the info octoberlib Apr 2014 #45

The SCOTUS ruling FL didn't have time for a recount was BS. joshcryer Apr 2014 #48

Totally, the SCOTUS pretended there had to be a deadline to democracy Rex Apr 2014 #64

Here's what's wrong with that claim ProSense Apr 2014 #52

What bothers me redstatebluegirl Apr 2014 #51

covering the GOP's crime, Democrats who blame Nader N/T reddread Apr 2014 #55

But some find it much easier to blame one person who had every right Autumn Apr 2014 #62

I really think its 100% cover, not legitimate blame by functional intellectuals. reddread Apr 2014 #69

I agree it's cover. I don't know where it came from and why it's repeated so much here Autumn Apr 2014 #73

Some of us are capable of perceiving multiple causes. Jim Lane Apr 2014 #88

Your reason for why the people in the middle stay home is overly simplistic. JoePhilly Apr 2014 #57
