Ralph Nader Sues Democratic Party
Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-7036571...
Forgive me if this dupes:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Consumer advocate and 2004 independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader sued the Democratic Party on Tuesday, contending officials conspired to keep him from taking votes away from nominee John Kerry.
Nader's lawsuit, filed in District of Columbia Superior Court, also named as co-defendants Kerry's campaign, the Service Employees International Union and several so-called 527 organizations such as America Coming Together, which were created to promote voter turnout on behalf of the Democratic ticket.
The lawsuit also alleges that the Democratic National Committee conspired to force Nader off the ballot in several states.
``The Democratic Party is going after anyone who presents a credible challenge to their monopoly over their perceived voters,'' Nader said in a statement. ``This lawsuit was filed to help advance a free and open electoral process for all candidates and voters. Candidate rights and voter rights nourish each other for more voices, choices, and a more open and competitive democracy.''

Voting for Gore or GW would get the same results!

A repuke in an independent's clothing.
The DUmmies think Ralph Nader is a Republican.

14. Ralph ... you don't want to go there ...
there's about 50 million people or more who would just love to sue your sorry ass for Florida ...
There is no grounds to sue Ralph Nader over the 2000 Election. That was Al Gore's fault.

16. Green your a$$
Is Nader still trying to convince the world that him pulling the green party vote, away from Kerry helped the forest. Why don't he come out of the Republican closet and say I am a Republican and always have been one.
