typical republican lie, we payed no INCOME TAXES NOT NO TAXES, for instance i am 16 with no job but when i buy a bag of chips and a pop for a dollar each i pay sales tax and in Michigan its 6% so i just payed 12 cents in taxes :P YEAH BE MAD

Hi! I didn't "forget" Nader, per se, but I just didn't feel Nader's vote total in 2000, or 2004, were significant enough to warrant any attention, it was just under 3% in 2000, and much less in '04. Granted, a few swing states may have gone one way or the other due to the so-called Nader effect, but nationally, it wasn't really significant.

And Cynthia McKinney I believe was the Green Party candidate in 2008, she did not win 2 million votes though. It was much, much less, and rather insignificant.

I thought in 1840, Martin Van Buren ran (but lost) without a VP candidate--1836 VP Richard Johnson did not wish to run again with MVB.

Hi there. Correct Johnson wasn't renominated at the convention, more due to Democratic disenchantment with him. So, states ran up their own individual candidates for VP. He nonetheless won more electoral votes, than the other candidates -- except of course Tyler. In other words, Johnson still won a plurality of the Van Buren electoral votes.

Hi there :)
No, Washington technically was not born in the US -- he was born in Virginia, but at that time it was part of British America. He, and the next six presidents, were all born in British America. Martin Van Buren is the first US-born citizen. Keep in mind, regarding Presidential qualifications, the Constitution does make an exception for those born during this time in America under British rule.
