Nader Announces Plan to Wreck Election

[proud2BlibKansan]

But Prominent Crackpots are Cool to Bid

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” today, consumer activist Ralph Nader told host Tim Russert that he has officially decided to wreck the 2008 presidential election.

Mr. Nader had been huddling with prominent crackpots over the weekend to determine whether he had enough support among his natural constituency, self-absorbed whack-jobs, to mount an entirely meaningless campaign.

“If I wreck the 2008 election, I intend to wreck it in all fifty states,” Mr. Nader told Mr. Russert today. “I have no intention of being merely a regional spoiler.”

When asked if his candidacy could hurt the chances of the first African-American nominee for president, Mr. Nader put his fingers in his ears and started going, “Lalalalalalalala I can’t hear you.”

“If I’m going to waste my vote, I want to be sure I’m wasting it on the right wingnut,” said longtime crackpot Stacy Klujian, who has supported Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex) in his 2008 campaign. “It is time for Ralph Nader to step aside for a new generation of bananaheads.”

2. I don't think he'll be on the ballot in more than 15-20 states. What a putz.

[monmouth]

3. If the MSM treats him like they treated Biden, Edwards, Kucinich and

so many others, no one will remember him by April.

7. The MSM Will Give Him All the Airtime He Wants for Free

As long as all he is doing is running a spoiler campaign against the Democrats, the MSM will give him all the free airtime he wants.

8. It's a win-win for the corporate media

This just gives them something more to blather about, diverting attention from anything of substance, while at he same time serving their masters and ensuring a continuation of Republican rule of the Homeland.:puke:

6. Didn't Nadar get about 12 votes in 2004?

Some people are just not happy unless they have Nadar to whine about.

9. Obama supporters had no problem trying to wreck a shoo-in for the

Obama supporters and their Republican fellow travelers had no problem trying to wreck a shoo-in for the first woman president.

11. Oh yeah it had nothing to do with the woman candidate,

who she is, what she stands for. Nothing at all. It's all because she's a woman! :sarcasm:

[Jade Fox]

12. What does that have to do with my post?

Both the Obama and Clinton "supporters" here on DU make me embarrassed to be a Democrat.

15. Well, now that somebody older than McCain has entered the race

do we have to stop with the old man jokes on ole' John?

I know. We can have a coot off!:D

[lizerdbits]

23. I doubt he could beat Byrd or Stevens

McCain would probably have half a Yosemite Sam on Nader.

That was one of my favorite Daily Show pieces. :rofl:

17. How many family members does Ralph Nader have in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Good god! :eyes:

[margotb822]

21. Nader was less than a blip in 04

2.7% in 2000 was enough for him to be an election wrecker, but his 0.3% of the GE vote in 2004 made him less than newsworthy. With the Democratic candidates we have this year (and the job that W has done on the country), I doubt Nader will be a serious factor in the GE.
