1. "It neither breaks my leg, nor picks my pocket"
That's a favorite saying of Paddy's, and it describes my reaction perfectly. I just plain don't care, and it affects my plans not at all. :shrug:

5. He knows full well what he is.
Remember, Nader hasn't actually DONE anything to help people in 20 years. He's running on ego now, plain and simple.

4. Since he eschewed the Green Party I don't

know how he expects to get on the ballot. When the Greens gathered petition signatures to place him on the ballot in 2000 it wasn't so much because he was RALPH NADER but because they wanted to secure ballot status. His name recognition helped the Greens achieve ballot status in many states because people were willing to sign a petition to get Ralph Nader on ballot for president even if they didn't agree with everything the Greens touted.

He failed to get the required percentage of the vote in many states so the Greens had to start over again in 2002. This meant collecting signatures to get on the ballot.

I think Mr Nader has gone the way of Ross Perot and is in it to satisfy his own ego rather than build a movement to challege the corporate parties.
