He's in the race now!
Nader Jumps in (http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/02/24/nader-says-he-will-run-for-president/)
Can you say President McCain? I knew you could!
Can somebody tackle this Ralph Nader character; tackle him just like they do the naked streakers who dart onto football fields looking for attention.
This guys is just as much of a political assassin as Monica Lewinski was; the vary people who he has railed against put him up to this and are supporting this, this IS political anarchy.
That dog don't hunt. People are wise to attention whores, has-beens and Presidential wannabe's. How quickly we forget. Remember a guy named Paul?
This is a last gasp by some desperate losers. Pathetic. :rolleyes:

I think he jumped in because he knew hard-core conservatives would chose to waste of a vote on him!
He'll probably do better this time than he did in previous years...

Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties....
True. The fault with Nader's thesis, however, is that those same disenchanted people are not necessarily stupid. He and Ron Paul should team up; two hopeless jerks for the price of one. They could get Billy Mays to do their political commercials for them.

And yet one of the best fits for that description is the Republican front runner. Go figure. :eek:

Ralph Nader needs to just go away.
America knows him and his act, how many times does he need to be told no one is interested. It's just all about the Ralph.
If people are going to waste their my vote, they need to waste it on the right wingnut. It is time for Ralph Nader to step aside and let a new generation of bananaheads like Ron Paul have their chance.

Yeah right.
I predict he's going to help like he did in '04.
And yes, I don't have a lot of faith in the voting public. I think many voters aren't smart enough to see through Nader.

Any chance the Republican's have slipped him a little money get him to run again. The man has to know he can't win and what his name on the ballot will do. Then perhaps his ego doesn't allow him to see any outcome but that of which he has dreamed. What is the saying, something like "there are none so blind as those who will not see". 2000 all over again:eek:
You go Ralphie Boy, looks like your driving the LIBS (more) nuts.

I wouldn't count on Nader for much of anything he will probably not get on many state ballots. The ones he can get on won't likely amount to a hill of beans, might be good for some Fox News messages of hope ROTFLMAO :D
And yet one of the best fits for that description is the Republican front runner. Go figure. :eek:
The difference is that in '04 Nader got .3% of the vote. Thats 3/10ths of 1 percent. That's worse than Paul recently did.
Not worried in the least. Democrats aren't disenchanted with their choices. They're very happy in fact. "Neo.." er, ahem. "Conservatives" are the ones looking to sabotage their own party.

He and Ron Paul should team upYour ignorance is again showing. Paul and Nader are polar opposites and if you knew anything about either of their platforms you would understand that :rolleyes:
But it is obvious you are ignorant.

Since, in both instances, the "platforms" are merely pro forma offerings to incite and capture the booboisie who consider themselves erudite and informed about the nature and defects of modern American government and economics and actually believe any of the lies, distortions and misrepresentations the "platforms" contain, such nonsense could be adaped readily to fit their real and obvious mission: To fulfill their swollen egos and see how many rubes will fall for their scam.
They are, in fact, a perfect fit. As a pair of intellectual jackals, they can each work a different side of the political drainage ditch where their most ardent supporters gather, sharing the paltry booty and glancing lovingly at their own reflections in odd bits of coverage when news organizations meet a boring day devoid of worthwhile topics.
Perfect fit.
Poor Ralphie, can't get no respect.

Now I know who I'm voting for. Nader is definately getting my vote. Now I don;t have to vote for a lesser of 2 evils. Not that I would wastemy time voting for a lesser of two evils anyway.

And if enough people do that then we get the NeoCons back in office, sure you really want to do that?

I don't think Nader will really make any signficant impact. While I expect the presidential race to be close, I don't think it will be so close that his participation will make much difference.

Well if n2ize would have done as his statement implies (i.e. vote for neither the Democratic nor Republican candidate), his voting for Nader will not take votes away from them anyway and will have no impact on the results of the election. The important thing for all voters, including ize, is to select the candidate that most closely matches their own beliefs. If no candidate is close, then one either doesn't vote or votes for the one that differs the least from one's own point of view.

MSNBC was just now pondering if Nader would take votes away from the Democrat candidates.
I would just once like to see the media get people afraid to vote for, say Obama, because voting for Obama takes votes away from Nader.
And don't vote for McCain, because that takes votes away from Ron Paul.
Perhaps McCain, Hillary and Obama should drop out of the race, so that they don't take votes away from the other candidates.
That makes about just as much sense as suggesting everyone but these three should drop out of the race, or that no one should be voting for anyone but the candidates most other people are voting for, or that the media gives the most air time too.
If I am given the choice of only being able to eat what is on the following menu:
A) Cat feces
B) Dog feces
C) Lox Vomit
D) Spam
Do we want to be constantly told that Spam is taking votes away from Cat feces, or that it would be a wasted vote to want to eat Spam rather than Dog feces.
Do we want to be told that it is our duty as citizens to select and eat any of those choices, when we would rather eat real food, and to not eat one of them means we have no right to complain when all we are served is feces for lunch every day.
Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.

their real and obvious mission: To fulfill their swollen egos and see how many rubes will fall for their scam.Uhh... I don't know Nader but I can tell you that Ron Paul is one of the most humble people in the country. I've met him and his family a few times and can tell you that everyone should aspire to be like him in terms of personal integrity.
When did you meet Ron Paul and have a conversation with him?
As a pair of intellectual jackals,Ron Paul has a medical degree, has studied economics for over 30 years, and is a sitting US Congressman. Nader is an attorney.
What are your credentials?

MIV is full of bunk on this issue. Some people are locked into this 2 party system only. They vehemently resist and and all change. Ron Paul, Dennis Kuchinich and Nader are the only people who spoke on behalf of the people. Ron Paul lacked a plan but at least was on the right track.
Some people will never deviate from the aristocracy.

Sure. It would seem, given the reality of the vote totals, that your "some people" are an overwhelming majority. That's how our system works, and the unrealistic glory-hounds, the dreamers and opium eaters, the "visionaries" and other residents of the fringe of the fringe are justly regarded as nebbishes to be ignored. That's why Paul and Kucinich amassed such numbers. Nader will follow them into asterisk status.

That doesn't sound very "progressive" to me.
Nice avatar. Is that a little girl?Personal attacks? Or innuendo / insinuation? That doesn't sound very "liberal" to me.
A true liberal would not do such things.
