		<description>Poor Senator Judas Lieberman (R-Tel Aviv) has to tolerate this treatment simply for choosing to serve two masters. Of, course neither one of them is the master (the people of Connecticut) who sent him to Washington; so that&#039;s three masters that he has, but only one of which he is not serving. He serves his god (John McCain), and his country (Israel), and his party (Likud), oh, wait; that&#039;s four masters, only one of which he&#039;s not serving. Is that so bad?

Yeah, I guess so.</description>

		<description>These are the same fatcats who fund the RNC. Split hairs if you like. It makes no difference whether they funneled the money through the RNC first or not.

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader — still not on the ballot in a single state — has received a recent windfall of &lt;strong&gt;contributions from deep-pocketed Republicans with a history of big contributions to the party,&lt;/strong&gt; an ana!ysis of federal records show. 

Nearly one in 10 of Nader’s major donors — those writing checks of $1, 000 or more — have given in recent months to the Bush-Cheney campaign, the latest documents show. GOP fund-raisers also have “bundled” contributions — gathering hefty donations for maximum effect to help Nader, who has criticized the practice in the past.</description>

		<description>Whatever, jj. Parse it any way that suits you.

Fact is, your boy Nader was actively supported by the GOP (the organization, not just individuals) in 2004, and the only reason they would fail to do the same this year is if they recognize the election won&#039;t be close enough for it to make a difference.

The Republicans recognize how useful Nader&#039;s candidacy is to them. Too bad you don&#039;t.

(Or do you...?)

No one&#039;s buying your schtick, jj.</description>

		<description>I see jabberjaw, having inserted into his question&lt;em&gt; What proof do you have that “the RNC” donated money to Nader &lt;/em&gt;the modifier &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;during this election? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; thus giving him an excuse to call a technical foul.

Clever. Not very honest, but clever. Unfortunately, shoeless did NOT restrict his charge to &quot;this election&quot;, did he?

No. He didn&#039;t. So we&#039;re going to have to give jj a &quot;Nice Try&quot; on this dodge.</description>

		<description>JJ is trying to make a distinction without a difference. Nader has taken huge amounts of money from RNC fatcat donors, including the Swift Boaters.

		<description>All this petty in fighting is pointless, uses up band width, has no value except to take up time....

Seem&#039;s to me everyone should focus on the fact we got screwed in 2000 by the reich, again in 2004 by the same tag team and the we got it really good by those that claimed to be dem&#039;s in 2006...

I don&#039;t know about all of you but this old woman is sick of what our country has become....All our work and our founding father&#039;s insight has been screwed and not one of us even got a kiss...

I think everyone should look long and hard at who they want to vote for and stop fighting amongst your selve&#039;s...Our very live&#039;s depend on it....

One more little hint....Stock pile food, water, fuel and ammo..Your live&#039;s depend on it.....Blessings</description>

		<description>ralph,

He posted it, isn&#039;t that enough for you?  What do you need, facts?  You forget who you are dealing with, jj don&#039;t do facts.

But just for you I will hold off on the automatic flag and give jj a chance to show his colors.  I am betting on a rich shade of yellow.</description>

Fine, nanlichi.

But I was just hoping to get a response from jj justifying his claim of 15% for Nader in Michigan first.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;TrippleKick Says:
Even years later, many are still bitter at ol’e Joe for not only surviving, but having the audacity to flourish&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Flourish, eh?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/7/3/11710/38088&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Not so much&lt;/a&gt;.

I guess if being despised by your nominal ideological brethern and being used without being trusted by the other side is your idea of &quot;flourishing&quot; then that says much about your sense of self-worth.

Let&#039;s revisit this issue in late January, hmm?</description>

		<description>i have had enough of JJ&#039;s shit, anyone else?  JJ&#039;s on my list as an automatic flag.  The ruse is transparent, a rabid R troll pretends to be concerned about Obama and so pimps Nader.

As has been pointed out, it isn&#039;t going to happen and responding to the jibberjabber is wasting bandwidth.
