Among the new crop of Nader donors: actor and former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, Florida frozen-food magnate Jeno Paulucci and Pennsylvania oil company executive Terrence Jacobs. All have strong ties to the GOP.

Why vote for Kerry, a guy we disagree with on 1% of the issues, when we can support Bush, who we dissagree with on 100% of the issues!

From FDR to 1968, the left voted democratic, and unbelievable progress was made. In 1968 the left disagreed on one iue, and decided to quit. For 35% year the left has focused on third parties and non-voting their way to utopita - and what a coincidence, since 1968 the world has moved further and further to the right. Hey, if it's failed for 35 years solid, let's keep doing it over and over and over and we'll create a utopia! Yay!

Or maybe not.

Let's try joining the party that Bush's oil buddies DON'T finance:
