On the verge of the 2004 election the Bush camp is raising a little extra for their pet project: the Nader campaign. Having benefited greatly from their earlier investment in 2000 the Republicans are back with their secret weapon: divide and conquer.
The Bush campaign in 2000 diverted a couple of million dollars of their own money to make sure Nader ads ran on TV in states that could have gone Democrat and thusly ensured a Republican victory.
With Nader's recent announcement that he'll be running again in 2004 the Bush camp has doubled their efforts to deliver as much Nader airtime as possible to the public. Nader well aware where his money is coming from shrugs at the possibility of another Republican victory.
Nader's political godfather George W. Bush is looking forward to a new landslide victory in 2004 thanks to his "Green" crony.

Gee, that's funny. I vividly recall that Al Gore won 500,000 more votes than George Bush did in the last Presidential election. Yet, despite this fact, the loser in this race somehow ended up in the White House. Do you suppose the U.S. Supreme Court had anything to do with this mess? Nahhh. Let's blame Ralph Nader for it. He's a good scapegoat, yes?

Nader Blasts Democrats As 'Whiners'
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. - 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.
9/11 would just have been the beginning of attacks on American soil.
Hey, does anyone recall all the attacks in America since then?
Oh, that's right...there haven't been any.
