God forbid the Republicans ever won an election because the voters simply liked them better. No, they go to Jeb, they go to that drag queen with all the make-up, they go to Scalia, they go to Arnold, and now they even try to put a candidate on ballot who they don't even support - all to subvert the people's choice. Hello, Democratic rage, where are you?????
Washington Post:
The conservative group Citizens for a Sound Economy, co-chaired by former House majority leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), called its Oregon members to attend a Nader state convention in Portland yesterday. The goal: Get Nader on the Oregon ballot in November and thus draw votes from Kerry in hopes of securing a Bush victory. The phone script: 'Ralph Nader is undoubtedly going to pull some very crucial votes from John Kerry, and that could mean the difference in a razor-thin presidential election. Can we count on you to come out on Saturday night and sign the petition to nominate Ralph Nader?'
Democrats say that Oregon is not an isolated case and that at least 17 of the 92 people who have given Nader $2,000 contributions are regular GOP donors. Citizens for a Sound Economy spokesman Chris Kinnan said the group's chapters will help put Nader on the ballot in other states 'if they see an opportunity.'
