Fuck Nader.

[Morizovich]

1. Uh, I'd rather not.

If you don't mind.

[TheWraith]

47. Indeed. Although perhaps with a ten foot pole.

A splintery one soaked in rubbing alcohol, salt, and jalapeno oil.

[Leopolds Ghost]

79. What are you people on about?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. Fuck Nader is right. What an asshole he is. nt

[dbt]

3. The Supreme Court elected bu$h.

Kick and unrec for your usual shit statements.

[mod mom]

40. And the f-ing DLC enabled them.

Unrec'd

[TheWraith]

48. Without Nader, there would have been no recount and no court case. nt

[roxiejules]

61. And Bush won in 2004 because??

Had Nader not run, the outcome would have been the same. The powers that be were not going to let Gore win, no matter what, and gamed it innumerabl­e ways.

[TheWraith]

82. So then he gets a pass for helping create the Bush presidency in the first place?

Gore needed 500 votes in Florida to prevent Bush from walking away with it. Nader took more than 90,000. It's really simple math.

[Snotcicles]

53. All they had to do was let him in the debates. But they were chickenshit. nt

[rosesaylavee]

4. Why doesn't he get it that he is not electable or supported?

Three times the charm? I think he should donate that money to charity.

[banned from Kos]

5. And his belated henchman - George W. Bush

Will never forget.

[Vanje]

26. But now!

NOw what?

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Love your new avatar nt

[Logical]

7. Damn him for being sick of the two party system!!!

[Luminous Animal]

16. It's not as though it limits the breadth & depth of political discourse. Everyone's interests

are up for presidential debate and all presidential candidates are welcome to the debates.

[City Lights]

8. You first.

Unrec.

10. My God!!! The first LoZoccolo OP I have to Rec! This must be a sign of the times.

K&R

[judgegblue]

19. Help please

I am new to this board and excuse my ignorance, but what does K & R and rec or unrec mean? And by the way Nader is an arrogant ass who would destroy this country to see his name in the press.

[elocs]

27. (K)ick by responding with a post to the Original Post & (R)ecommend.

A kick is really better because it will always kick the thread to the top of the forum in which it is posted so it will be more easily seen.

[judgegblue]

28. Thanks

[Luminous Animal]

34. I'll gladly kick with Nader's accomplishments (Thanks for the invitation!)

29. Yes, Nader as with others love to get attention.

Oh, and concerning rec, unrec, that is about how you can recommend or unrecommend a thread here at DU within the first 24 hours after it is posted.

You will find many DUers who are totally obsessed with Rec/UnRec, especially if it is their thread or one with which they agree that receive UnRecs, then it must be a troll. You will see people complaining about an UnRec withing minutes after a thread is posted.

[Luminous Animal]

37. Clearly, everyone should keep their head down except our elected leaders and those who

serve them.

[Luminous Animal]

11. Yay! You're back! (I was worried that you had abandoned your obsession with Nader!)

If there weren't such an age difference, and if I weren't married... yes, I would fuck Nader.

[DevonRex]

12. Hear hear!!! Nt

[bluestate10]

13. I agree and triple your sentiment. nt

[unkachuck]

14. LoZoccolo, are you feeling unhappy today?....n/t

[Vanje]

15. You're 11 years late.

Get over it.

[dbt]

24. I only regret that I have but one unrec to give to this thread.

But your terse and eloquent reply is SO worth a kick!

:bounce:

[Vanje]

25. I did as much as I could

Only one unrec.

[readmoreoften]

72. +1

[moondust]

17. The Great Enabler or the Greatest Enabler?

:smoke:

[FLPanhandle]

18. Fuck all Republican enablers.

Nader is at the top of the list.

[Vanje]

22. Oh. Thats timely!

[madinmaryland]

21. Un-recced. Nader has been irrelevant since 2000. nt

[Vanje]

23. Yes

Duh

[elocs]

30. But he certainly is a legend in his own mind, and loves the attention. n/t

[Forkboy]

31. The Op or Nader?

:)

[Luminous Animal]

33. The man is a legend...

36. Nice list. Thank you

I like Nader, I wouldn't vote for him but I wish I could.

[Luminous Animal]

39. You are welcome. It's almost as if he is being written out of history but I have faith

that there is a young historian that will carry on Howard Zinn's tradition and continue on "The People's History".

[joshcryer]

46. Actually, every election he garners many more votes.

By the time he runs in 2012 he will likely be a formidable candidate.

[madinmaryland]

49. Did you forget the "sarcasm" emoticon??

:shrug:

[Forkboy]

32. But enough about your plans for the weekend....

56. Either one. They're both cute.

[Luminous Animal]

55. I'd fuck him.

[otohara]

57. I Agree - He Fucking Sucks

and those who voted for him - they suck too!

[rucky]

58. Why do you hate Jerrold Nadler?

[Snotcicles]

59. Your Friday night Fuck Nader, is becoming as regular as a steaming Metamucil. nt

[Kaleva]

60. LoZoccolo gets no recs but he sure gets replies!

[CreekDog]

62. your post is too wordy

i mean two wordy.

:beer:

[CreekDog]

63. i can't stand Nader anymore

but that said...your post is incredibly vacuous, even by your standards.

[CakeGrrl]

64. k/r

65. Viva Chavez!!!

[Rex]

66. Why?

What a stupid post.

[Lucian]

67. Isn't this your second one of these threads in the last two weeks?

Two words posted. Run away.

Typical of you.

:eyes:

[Luminous Animal]

68. Actually, Lozoccalo has been fucking other people recently (not there is anything wrong with that).

[Rex]

69. I never could understand how a Lounge---ish post(er)

could end up being so prevalent in GD over the years. I guess anything will past muster in GD, even two stupid words that are a good waste of thread space. :shrugs:

Maybe we should all just post meaningless shit that just 'comes to mind'.

73. To those who think things would have been different if nader hadnt

spoiled Gore, I would like you to remember Gores vp pic Joe Lieberman. His adivsors included Martin Peretz. Also if the centrists produce different outcomes how come the wars budget cuts have on continued since winning congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008. There was a full 2 years where centrist dems had complete control of our elected government and what did they do with it, why they continued Bush policies. If Bush was so bad why have centrists like this poster supported all of Bushs policies. Was he bad just because he was bad or for logical reasons like bad policies.

So yeah nader may have tipped the election, though there were other factors too, but he probably did not change history very much.

Centrism in the Gore campaign was what made Nader attractive.

The centrist are really the ones ruining everything, not Nader. Look at the fact that neoliberal dems are always the ones going after Nader. They are just trying deflect from their own responsibility in literally ruining the democratic party with their pathetic attacks on nader.

[ProfessorGAC]

74. That Sound You Heard. . .

. . .was the real point flying over your head at supersonic speed. You think centrism was the problem during the Silverspoon administration? You can't be that blind.

net recs. De ja vu.

[Chisox08]

78. Did Nader cause Gore to lose his home state?

Did Nader cause Gore to distance himself from Clinton?
Did Nader cause to pick Traitor Joe LIEberman as his running mate?
Did Nader select the Supreme Court Justices who picked George Bush as President?
Did Nader purge the vote rolls of anybody who had the same name or one that is similar to one that had a criminal record?
If he did all of that then I would agree with you.

[Taitertots]

80. Why? He is pretty much the only person in politics who is actually looking out for you

It is sad that people bitch about the closest we have ever come to having a progressive President.
