AP: Fla. Supreme Court Puts Nader on Ballot

Ralph Nader is back on Florida’s ballot — probably for good this time.

The Florida Supreme Court ruled 6-1 Friday that he can run as the Reform Party presidential candidate in the November election.

The decision met a Saturday deadline for mailing 25,000 ballots to overseas voters, most of them military personnel, and ended a dizzying two weeks during which Nader was on and off the ballot.

“This is a case that should have been thrown out of the courts sooner,” said Kevin Zeese, a spokesman for the Nader campaign.

This really surprises me.

I did not think the proven partisan whores had it in them, to make a fair call.

They did it because Jeb Bush offered to make sure that their kids would be admitted to the Florida National Guard once W imposes the draft for the war to enrich Halliburton. Yeah, it’s all part of that secret, yet publicly scheduled, National Guard troop rotation Kerry exposed yesterday. Now that Nader’s on the ballot, it will be a simple matter of using Cheney’s ill-gotten war profits (again, from Halliburton) to suppress the black vote by demonizing the lack of patriotism on the part of those that dare dissent from W’s fascist rhetoric.

I’m surprised you haven’t heard; it was all on CBS.
