34292 anti-Ralph petition -- rank: 1000

CONCERNED SCHOLARS, WRITERS AND ACTIVISTS 2000 We, the undersigned, are appalled at the continuing national campaign by Ralph Nader and the Green Party. It is now plain that Mr. Nader will do anything and say anything in order to gain the 5 percent of the vote he seeks. Instead of a liberal or progressive force, his campaign now seriously threatens to elect the deceptive George W. Bush to the presidency. Despite Mr. Nader's past great achievements, and despite the good faith of his rank-and-file ...

34294 Bush, dumb? -- rank: 1000

Chris Caldwell writes in this week's New York Press: <quote> Dumbo One ploy that's definitely not going to work is this Gore use of surrogates to attack Bush's intelligence. Yes, Bush is slow, and I can say that-but Gore can't. Bush is dumb only for a politician; he's smarter than the median voter. So the median voter is going to watch some Al Gore shill talk on national tv about what a dope Dubya is. And said median voter is going to think: "If Gore thinks he's dumb, what does he thi ...

34297 Liz Smith on Bin Laden -- rank: 1000

[Liz Smith writes in today's NY Post] WORD FROM international foreign affairs experts is that the U.S. is already 100 percent sure that Osama bin Laden was definitely behind the terror blast of the U.S. destroyer Cole. But they'd rather delay and say they can't prove it, than have to act on a retaliatory strike. The last time we targeted Afghanistan with missiles, because of the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, we covered ourselves with embarrassment.
