Nothing. That’s why HE LOST.

He gave old women an old man to listen to, and pretty much that is it. He is a man who knows he can not get elected but he talks to the old women, he needs attention, and where there is a fly there is usually spoiled meat.

He split the vote for the Democrats. Enough Democrats voted for Nader, that Bush won.

By running, he split the vote.
Democrats often assume that if people hadn’t voted for Nader, that they would have voted for Gore.

Ralph Nader, in 2000, won about 60,000 votes in Florida. If we assume (correctly, I think) that the majority of the Nader votes would have gone to Gore had Nader not been running, Gore would have won Florida, and therefore the White House.

He didn’t loose the election for the democrats. They just used him for an excuse as to why they lost. The democrats were trying to say is that some of the people who would have voted for Gore instead voted for Ralph Nader. They claim that if he didn’t run that then those people that voted for him would have voted Democrat and therefore the Democratic Party would have won.
This is a bunch of bull. And the Democrats know it.
Honestly I would have loved to see Nader win the election. So many people son’t like him and they really have no good reason why. If everyone only knew all the good things he has done for our country perhaps they would change their minds. He has done more for us than any living president has even dreamed of. I think he would be even better than Dr. Paul
Here is a list of what Nader has done for our country.

Nader saved America from Al Gore’s insanity.
