Seems like the liberal faction of the demo-scammer party will stop at nothing to get their guy Kerry into office. Now they would like to eliminate the only third party candidate in close fought states such as Arizona. Funny how I don't remember the republicans trying to force Perot from running or trying to keep Bucchanin from running. Yet when it looks like a third party candidate might cost them a state, the Dems are much akin to al Queda. As the Queen of Hearts once said..."Off with their Heads".
Anyone here reminded of the Florida recount scheme?
"Arizona Dems move to knock Nader off ballot
June 23, 2004
WASHINGTON -- Ralph Nader had a testy meeting Tuesday with black members of Congress and rejected their request he quit the presidential race. At the same time, Arizona Democrats prepared to challenge Nader's qualifications to appear on that state's ballot.
Shouts could be heard from inside the meeting with more than a dozen Congressional Black Caucus members. One woman shouted, ''You can't win,'' to which Nader shot back an inaudible response.
''It became abundantly clear to us that this was about Ralph Nader and we were sorely disappointed,'' caucus chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said afterward.
Nader dismissed the shouting as an ''exciting exchange'' between two sides with the same goal.
Separately, Democratic National Committee spokesman Jano Cabrera said the Arizona challenge would focus on the validity of thousands of signatures.
''We have never been moved by Nader's repeated assertions that it was Al Gore and not he who was at fault for the outcome of the 2000 election, and apparently the Arizona Democrats seems unconvinced by his explanation as well,'' Cabrera said.
''If this becomes a pattern of harassment in other states, we will ask John Kerry to disown and disapprove of these antidemocratic tactics,'' Nader said. AP

Vander, I don't mind the Dems would not like Nader to run as I understand how Nader votes mean less votes for Kerry. What I don't like is the lengths to which the Dems will go to thwart Nader. If I remember right Perot was even allowed to debate with Bush and Clinton. Of course back then Perot was pulling votes from Bush. I suspect Nader won't be invited to debate Bush and Kerry.
