The Nader agenda
First off I would like to say Fuck Nader.

He is lying to the American people again. He says he has launched a 'exploratory committee' to see if he should run for the WH. This committee would give him feed back on if he has enough support to compete for the WH ...His feed back WILL TELL him he cannot get even 10% of the vote...he will probably get around 5 percent, if he is lucky. No matter what the feed back...he will join the race. This means he is not running for president, and doesn't give two squirts of piss about the feed back his 'exploratory committee' reports to him....he is running for his ego, and his ego alone.

I know...I know. People will tell me that he drives the issues, as if he only gets a chance to talk about the issues every 4 years. He sure drove the issues in 2000....was it worth it ? ...without Nader, Gore wins hands down, no supreme court, no re-count, NO BUSH ADMINISTRATION no Iraq war...and perhaps no 9-11

Nader knows that NOT ONE republican will vote for him, he knows he will only take votes from the Democrats, and he knows he cannot win.

Where does that leave us ? ...

Fuck Nader.

1. this is such a ludicrous argument
for pete's sake...those of us who voted for Nader in the past, had no interest in voting for the candidate you put up. There are also plenty of green party voters who NEVER vote for your party.

However, what you in your pathetic diatribe of emotions fail to GRASP...is that third party candidates regularly enroll NEW voters. Who will in the FUTURE vote for someone from your party. Someone who was obviously never inspired enough to vote before. So thank the third parties for managing to register NEW voters who eventually may vote for you.

3. No thanks.
In your mind, the new voters Nader brought to the 2000 election was worth having Bush for almost a decade.

Sorry, no thank you.

If he knows there is no way he could even win 1 state or get 5 percent of the vote..then he shouldn't run.

7. Every third party that enters the race getting under 5% in the GE
They need to start with the House...then the Senate..build support, build a party, get organized. Not just jump at the WH every 4 years with no chance in hell to win. Nader doesn't even have a party, he whores himself out to who ever will have him.

Start something real, or forget about it.

4. Agreed. Fuck Nader....someone should follow him around and...
throw rotten tomatoes at him at every campaign stop he has. I'd gladly contribute to such a group.

9. I don't think he'll run as long as Hillary Clinton is NOT the presidential candidate
So vote Obama if you're afraid of Nader running as an independent.
