Thanks for coming up with a reliable
source. Using Nader in an ad is still not quite the same thing as Bush
buying ads for Nader.
More power to you voting for Gore if that's
your candidate of choice. I have nothing against anyone who is voting for
him in good conscience. I'm not gung ho on Nader per se. I just
personally want to put my vote and energies toward building a true
alternative.

Subject: RAT Bush buys Nader TV Ad
Check it out:
In today's Wall Street Journal, Monday
October 30. Page A32, in Nicholas
Kulish's column "The Home
Stretch":
TOOTH AND NAIL: Political advertising continued to
toughen up as the
Republican Leadership Council unveiled an ad featuring
Ralph Nader
criticizing Al Gore, without even mentioning George W.
Bush. The spot will
air in Washington, Oregon, and Wisconsin, where
Nader voters could swing the
electoral vote to Mr. Bush.

I
guess this is not one of those internet rumors. It is not just scare
tactics. Bush forces create a Nader ad, use it to attack Gore, and
never
once mention Bush. Please folks, remember how ruthless the
Republicans are,
and have been. Lynn Cheney, wife of the VP
candidate, served as the chair of
the National Endowment for the
Humanities under the other George Bush, from
which position she tried to
eliminate the agency. Think about Jesse Helms,
Strom Thurmond, Trent
Lott, Phil Gramm, Dick Armey and all the rest of that
bunch, and think how
much fun they'll have with a Republican in the White
House again.
Think about Jerry Falwell and James Dobson and Donald Wildmon
and Ralph
Reed, and just guess who they want to see elected President.
I like
Ralph Nader, and I agree with much of what he stands for, but I'm
terrified of George W. Bush, who will be another friendly communicator,
another Reagan-like mouth-piece for the worst forces in America, the worst
of
corporate power, the forces of intolerance and hatred and
bigotry. I live in
Pennsylvania, and I'm voting for Al Gore.
He's not as entertaining as Bill
Clinton has been, but he's our only
chance right now to keep the Republicans
at bay.
