Contrast Harry Reid's attitude toward Independent candidate Nader vs. Independent candidate Lieberman: <<< Senator Harry Reid D-NV said of Nader the day after that fateful stolen election, "I hope Ralph Nader is proud of himself," said Reid. "One of the joys of waking up this morning was that egotistic bum didn't get 5 percent of the vote (which would have qualified the Green Party for federal funds)." "He can wallow in his mud. That is what he likes to wallow in anyway," Reid said. "`I had very little respect for him and what I had is gone." Reid directly blamed Nader for Gore's "loss." "You could be a second-grade math student and figure that out," the senator said. Now Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid had this to say when faced with another independent/third party challenge --- from Lieberman in the Connecticut Senate Race this fall; "I don't think it is fair for me to judge what he (Lieberman) should or shouldn't do. He has told me what he was going to do. He told me that before the election. I think his decision has been made," Reid said. >>> counterpunch.org Tom
