Ralph Nader, HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

SO far we have had the Skull and Bones speech this week

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=889423


Edwards is a "sniveling coward" remark over Edwards' debate with Cheney, whining that he can't win a single state

The revelation that he is being funded in part by Swiftboat Vets:

Now in this most recent article, it appears petitions to get him on the ballot are fraught with widespread fraud, AND HE IS BEING REPRESENTED by GOP lawyers in his quest to cheat his way onto the ballots. If anyone has erased Ralph Nader's long admirable history as a champion of the "little guy" it would HAVE to be Ralph himself.

1. No shame, whatsoever

Isn't it sad? I admired this man for so many years. Now, the mention of his name sickens me. Very, very sad...

[friesianrider]

2. The Edwards comment really ticked me off...

If Nader has such a noble cause, why doesn't he run on HIS CAUSE?

I'm really sad that he will go on to be forever known as the man who put Bush in office (and maybe for a second term, too) :(

3. Ralph is a megalomaniac.

In a lot of ways he's just like B*sh -- he believes he's absolutely right and everybody else is absolutely wrong. He is barking mad, batshit crazy, a total frootloop. Too bad, he did a lot of good years ago as a consumer advocate. But now he's as loony as a pet wolverine, and probably ought to be committed.

4. His entire campaign seems to be an attack on Kerry/Edwards

He's worse than Bush.

8. Nader '04: A Vote for Bush Without Voting For Bush

Nader is like the arsonist who sets fire to a building, then yells at the firefighters.

[Swamp Rat]

5. Nope. Reptiles do not have shame.

6. Hahaha...cute graphic :)

[KoKo]

7. He's in danger of losing credibility with those who remember him when

his "claim to fame" was Consumer Advocacy. What's going on with that guy? He's now identified with Repugs and seems to be putting his foot in mess wherever he steps...

He's lost his mind...!!!

9. Didya see what Bob Weir had to say about Nader in Rolling Stone?

He was rather shocked at how arrogant the man was. Wanted to like him really badly, but left with the opposite (in the extreme) feeling.

11. I missed it but glad he said it...what an ass!

[DeepModem Mom]

10. The answer to your good question is painfully obvious --

[Demonaut]

12. the only reason Nader is running is to ensure Kerry loses

he wants the US to suffer another 4 years, he thinks it's tough love but what the idiot does not realize is that he'll drive more people away from the Greens or him...not a snowballs chance in hell he'll be ever be president.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. In fairness to the Greens, he has nothing to do with them this time around

and they HAVE been supporting Kerry in swing states.

[Demonaut]

15. I understand that but his name will always be associated with Greens

to some degree even though they've disavowed him

[rniel]

14. so what's the strategy

for the democrats then to completely ignore the existance of a ralph or to say something about where his money and help is coming from.

16. Nader, the once great, now a hack.
