"Who is to say all of those Nader voters would have voted for Gore if they had not voted for Nader?"

- I'm not saying "all", but "most" ...

"And I suppose you did not understand when I said that the News Consortium found that if all the votes were counted, Gore won. Nader or no Nader. Place the blame for 2000 where is squarely belongs: the electoral fraud perpetrated by jeb bush and katherine harris, and then the illegal decision by the SCOTUS."

- That's among the other reasons Bush "won". He could not have "won" without Jeb, SCOTUS etc., and not without Nader.

"Those that voted for Nader had every right to do so. That was their choice."

- Yes, in a democracy, they had even every right to vote for Bush!

"To blame them and Nader for bush* is disingenuous at best."

- The fact is, if they had voted for Gore, Gore would have won (or the Repubs would've had to cheat even more to "win", and no one knows whether they could have done that). It's shameless to not admit this fact.
