Did Nader voters put Bush in the White House?

Read on.

 Bush would NOT have gotten in the White House ...IF...
...
Jeb Bush & Katherine Harris had not illegally removed 50,000+ eligible voters from the roll, alleging they were felons.
...
the US Supreme Court justices had recused themselves, upheld the Constitution or respected the Florida Supreme Court.
... bankrupt, cheating Enron had not been Bush’s #1 donor.
... Gore had asked for a statewide recount in Florida.
... Gore had won in his home state of Tennessee.
... Gore had fought to assume his rightful role as President.
... Mayor Alex Penelas (a Democrat, who, until Elian's drama, fantasized being Gore's VP) had stayed in the US and campaigned for and with “fellow” Democrats. He went to Spain, instead, costing 1000's of votes.
... the “butterfly ballot” hadn’t made 5000 Jews “vote” for Buchanan.
... Natural Law, Libertarian, or Socialist voters had instead voted for Gore.
... 250,000+ (yes!) Democrats in Florida had not voted for Bush.
... the ± 35,000 Democrats in Florida who did vote for Nader had changed their minds.
... the illegal post-election military absentee votes had not been counted, and the legal "caged" ones had.
... Election Supervisor Leahy had not stopped Miami-Dade recount.
... Democrats had run a good campaign & denounced Bush’s lies.
... Gore had not backed the plan to keep Elian in the US.
... Florida had implemented Instant Runoff Voting. (see: www.fairvote.org)
