Ralph Nadar is Dead to me, He gave us Bush & now this crap.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/25/nader.obama/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

cnn.com — Ralph Nader's presidential candidacy has received little media attention, but his latest critique of Sen. Barack Obama has come under fire for its seemingly racial overtones. Speaking with Colorado's Rocky Mountain News, Nader accused Obama of attempting to "talk white" and appealing to "white guilt" in his quest to win the White House.

3. oh....dear..."the talk white" jargon.....
I have heard it myself....it can never be an individual sounds educated.

Ralphs problem is he is such an egomaniac that he wants to insert himelf once more time.....

Ralph today is the man who screwed us in the past.

4. Who is Ralph Nader?
I mean, seriously? He's a gnat, an ant. He means nothing on the world stage.

(snip)
Ralph Nader is the most arrogant and narcissistic guy I've ever met. I had a meeting with him in the early Nineties. I was jazzed going into the meeting, and I was disgusted leaving. I don't think I've ever met a bigger asshole. If he hadn't run in the last election, we wouldn't be in Iraq and thousands of people wouldn't have died needlessly.

7. I was harrassed on the street today by a Naderite.
Edited on Thu Jun-26-08 09:00 PM by Blondiegrrl
A couple of guys were collecting signatures on the street corner. One of them, a preppy looking young guy, asked me if I'd like to sign the petition to get "an independent" on the ballot. I was in a hurry and didn't even consider it one way or another (despite the fact that I think Nader is at least partly to blame for GWB). I simply said, "No thanks," and hurried on. It was my lunch break and I needed to get back to work. The preppy guy took a step after me as I walked away and called out, sarcastically, "Gee, thanks for supporting democracy." I stopped, turned, and mouthed, "asshole" at him. He said something else snarky to me but I couldn't hear what it was.

I think I should have a right to walk down the street without being heckled or made to feel uncomfortable by these "democracy supporters." What a jerk!

8. He lost all credibility and is now a national joke.
Sad how far he has fallen from powerful consumer advocate.
