He's sure to get more than 2%, more likely 4-5%


What makes you think Nader will do so much better this time around then he did in 2000? He got about 2.7% nationwide and was on the ballot in 47 states with the Greens.... He'll be lucky as an independent to be on that many states with the effort it takes to get the signatures.... In CA he got 3.8% of the vote. His best state percentage wise was Alaska where he got 10.1%

This is hillarious stuff. It's called p-r-o-p-a-g-a-n-d-a. One of the ways psychological warfare is waged is by convincing your enemy you are much stronger than you actually are in reality. The leftist press has always done this. What's more, they firmly believe that they can bring about their desired results by reporting things this way. If nothing else, it keeps us in the desired spirit of gloom.

C'mon folks, do the people down at the mall even know who John Kerry or John Edwards are? Let alone what kind of nonsense is this that the Democrat talking points of the last week, meaning "jobs," now suddenly resonates to the exclusion of all other issues with the public. This is plain crap, people. And it will go down the liberal garbage hole soon enough. I remember when they had polls in March of 1984 saying Mondale or Hart would mop the floor with Reagan. Democrats have no issues, so whatever they come up with will be branded the golden key to the White House by the adoring Bolshevik media. What's new?

Now, about cutesy words and phrases: also in 1984; the Jesse Jackson campaign used this year's slogan,"jobs" as a mantra, just like Willy successfully used "change" as his in 1992. Only this year the vote ain't divided. When Jackson changed the issue of the day to "drugs," the press ran around screaming that was the wonderful new flavor fare. This was during the Reagan years. If the GOP talked in these terms, the press would accuse us of insulting the voters. Liberals think we're all idiots. That's why they go for simple first grade words and phrases.

Even funnier, the press watched their beloved Mikey Dukakis blown apart in the last debate of 1988 and still ran around for the last two weeks of the election claiming that the sentence/message, "I'm on your side" was going to alter the election and rout Bush. That was the same year they had made fun of everything but Dan Quayle's deodorant.

These press people are liars. They are lying. That's what they do. Don't get upset about their lies. Know your enemy, and don't forget the past. We are winning. Just remember the press is like your insane, senile, old uncle that would say the sky was orange if you said it was blue. They are not on our side and not about truth.

Anybody remember all their stories reporting Dole was down by thirty points to Clinton in 1996, when he was really behind by less than ten? Laugh at them. They are truly pitiful and insane.

Why Nader will do better: There are other reasons, but these are the biggies and I can't think of the rest just now.
