NEW AP POLL - Bush +1% - Nader @ 6%

[angus]

CaliforniaDreamer,  I agree completely.

Howdy Vorlon,

I welcome Ralph Nader's campaign.  Over the years he has fought the hard fight for consumer protection, environmental awareness, gender equality, and sustainable growth.

All together boys and girls,
Let Ralph Debate!
Let Ralph Debate!
Let Ralph Debate!
Let Ralph Debate!

That's a legitimate standing complaint from the left and from the right.  The two centrist corporate-controlled imperialist parties do control the process. That's an undisputed fact.

Perot did debate in '92.  I think the rule is that anyone polling 15% or more in recent polls by a reputable non-aligned agency can debate.  And, of course, anyone who insists that Nader cost Gore the election in 2000 must, by the same logic, concede that Perot cost Bush the election in 1992.  In '96, Perot may not have high enough polling numbers to be allowed to debate.

Yeah, Nader is Nader.  Nader is not a green (The Green Party form the semiofficial apologists for the democrats.)  He only agreed to be their candidate in '96 and '00 on the condition that he didn't have to join their party.  Nader has taken on bigger goliaths than Kerry and Bush all his life.  I'd be very surprised if the Kerry Machine was able to intimidate him.

Mayor West?  Maybe after he gets out of jail.  Just what we need in a president.  One who doesn't even know the law.  Bush may ignore it, at least he know it.

my little piece of exurbia has fully transformed into suburbia.  I was awakened at 7 by an alarm going off, two stories down and about 3 blocks east.  This was followed by the sound of fire-truck sirens.  I peeped out of the blinds to see if the firetruck had a Kerry or Bush sticker, but it was too far away.  

Don't forget, the republicans have won california in six of the last ten presidential contests.  With Kim Jung Il's recent Kerry endorsement and with Mayor Newsom's bitch brigade running roughshod over state law, don't be surprised if it becomes 7 of 11.

Of course, for reasons I don't fully understand, one has to be from the sunbelt to win elections for about the last 40 years.  (hint:  Kerry will not win nationally)  But that's beside the point.  I'm suggesting the Bush Machine wants to spend some money out here.  Lots of it.  Bush the Elder blew off California in 1992, right?  And lost many congressional seats in the process.  Bush the Younger campaigned here in 2000 and the republicans held their ground, and have gained since.  Of course, I suspect Kerry will win this state's votes.  But I hope Bush continues to campaign out here, as he did down in anti-tax country yesterday.

Who is mayor West? (You know guys, I'm from Europe. I can't know all things like that, sorry)

He played batman on "Batman."
