Nader blasts Democrats as 'whiners'

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader called Democrats "chronic whiners" for continuing to accuse him of spoiling the 2000 presidential election for Al Gore.

"They should realize that the retrospect on Florida concluded Gore won Florida," the consumer activist told the Wisconsin State Journal on Saturday. "It was stolen from the Democrats. And they should concentrate on the thieves and the blunderers in Florida, not on the Green Party."

A media-sponsored review of more than 175,000 disputed ballots found that Gore would have won by a small margin if there had been a complete statewide recount. President Bush won Florida, and thus the White House, by 537 votes out of more than 6 million cast.

Nader, in town for a speech at the National Conference on Media Reform at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, noted that 300,000 registered Democrats in Florida voted for Bush.

"I think the Democrats can be fairly charged with chronic whining, and they ought to look at themselves first and foremost," Nader said.

During his speech, Nader reiterated that he would decide by the end of the year if he's running for the White House in 2004.

Simply untrue. Bush won the "disputed ballot" count in 5 of 6 differing standards for counting the votes.

DemocRATs *are* whiners. Except for inventing new ways for government to confiscate the public's money, democRATs have NO ideas about what the country should do or become.

Yes, there were a host of media reviews - one of which listed Gore the winner, almost all of the rest found Bush still the winner.

More importantly, according to the actual *laws* of the state of Florida, Bush won after the first, automated recount - which unlike the rest of the Democrat hijinks that would come later was both legal and fair.

Every court ruled against Gore, except the FL SC, of which two of the seven members, who would vote for Gore ultimately by a 4-3 margin, personally contributed to Gore.

If the FL SC wasn't so out of countrol, this never would have become an issue, as we can see when Gore's complaints were thrown out at the district level by Democrat judges.

Who elected the media to count votes and certify elections?

Come on Ralph - don't be intimidated by these chronic whiners. America needs to hear your fresh viewpoints and savvy insights. Run. Do it for America.

LOL...Nader can't count! Can't tell the truth!

But then, he's a liberal and that's the way it is!

Gosh...we're all waiting with bated breath.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

There's only one way to put an end to the lies. Gore should run against Bush again and prove how strong he is. (He He)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. LOL

That was only in the counties where Gore requested the recounts. If all the disputed ballots in the state were counted, Gore would have won. But Gore didn't request a statewide recount.
