During the 2004 presidential elections, the Democratic Party staged the second largest attack on a third party candidate in U.S. history. The largest ever also carried out by the Democratic Party was the assault of the Communist Party in the early 1900s when they used bombs to blow up some of their offices.
In 2004, they spent close to $20 million to prevent ballot access to the Nader/Camejo presidential ticket. They hired various corporate law firms to file phony lawsuits to remove Nader/Camejo from the ballots. One of the law firms they hired was the law firm of Kenneth Starr. GM also donated two lawyers to help in their efforts. One of the leaders of this attack was former Nader Raider, Toby Moffet, who now works for a Republican lobbying firm.
They spent more time attacking the principles of Democracy and rigging the system to their advantage rather than respecting it. They certainly are political cowards out on the playing field.
