Could the answer to Nader running be laughter and ridicule?

1. Eight years of Bush isn't funny.

3. probably but........

the fear of BUsh 4 more is palpable. Nader running in this situation is laughable but terrifying. My head tells me he wont be a factor but my heart skips a beat and my guts twist in fear at the prospect of any thing that could help the rethuglicans steal another election.

5. No Nader should be rebutted on point and included in debates

If he were it would scare the shit out of the population and marginalize him for good. If many policies he promotes were followed in the short term, there would be MORE financial pain NOT less for people already suffering.

11. good point but...

edge of cliff dizzy feeling at the idea him in spot lite brething up valuble o2. must get grip on my fear..........

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. If I were you I'd get a grip of your fear

Because this year after all the harm Bush has done the Democrats can attack him on point, use his own reckless speeches about how it needs to get worse to get better and point out that SMUG comment hurt the very people in every region of the world he claims to have championed, use the SPOILER aspect etc and they can once and for all out him.

10. I LOve the cartooN!

How funny, yet how true.

8. What I don't understand is how a man I once thought was

honorable, is now a cheap publicity hound? Lets remember, Nader practically started the consumer protection movement all by himself.
But now, he's turning into Harold Stassen.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

15. Too much time in the public eye

without having to be accountable to anybody.

Humans are easily susceptible to corruption.

[frustrated_lefty]

9. That just drives

people further away.

Laugh and ridicule if you want. It makes people like me wonder why I even try.

Good job. Bravo.

17. See past the criticism

Dean not Nader represents a rational insurgents approach to change. Bring some thing to the table. prove your value. Get respect, demand reform. Throwing bombs from the back of the room kills innocent people and hurts the issues you stand for.

[incapsulated]

12. Sorry

Nothing about Nader is as remotely funny as the suggestion I just read for Andrea Dworkin as Presidential candidate.

ah, DU. :)

[Mattforclark]

13. Yes

I laugh at his stupidity.

It's not funny though.


And if Nader speaks thus:

"What does not kill us makes us stronger."

Point out that it in cases where it kills us it does not make us stronger.

19. it has worked for me

the big Nader freak out is a hoot.

pass the popcorn.
