Reply #46: If Bush manages to win this election ... [View All]

... we will see just how 'dedicated' Nader is. Just how 'bold' he is. My guess? He will disappear yet again, not lifting a finger to stop or derail a second Bush administration.

He will sit on his 'convictions' and shut his mouth, like he's done for the last four years outside of election periods. If he wants to be a real force, he should get his worthless hide on a charter plane and lead a march on Guantanamo Bay, or lead a delegation of independent journalists on a massive fact finding tour in Iraq or go on a hunger strike. But he hasn't got the guts or the vision anymore. Maybe he never did.

Theodore Geisel was a better, more effective and more dedicated progressive liberal than Nader ever was, without playing the part of a spoiler in politics, and he never worn his ego on his sleeve.
