So Nader is calling for someone to challenge Obama in the primaries. How come Nader doesn't call

[still_one]

for someone to challenge the republican candidates in their primaries?

[scheming daemons]

1. Because Nader is a dick

[flamingdem]

10. He rears his vote dividing head every time nt

[Riftaxe]

25. Easy to avoid, just have the Democratic candidate

be to Nader's left, problem solved, no votes divided.

[DJ13]

2. Because he doesnt expect that any of those idiots will win?

[adhd_what_huh]

3. Nadar can suck my ass!

[digitaln3rd]

4. Because they're already having primaries?

And Nader is a liberal, so he's more concerned with getting liberal policies in the political debate.

[HappyMe]

5. Well, we should all hold our breath....

to see what the great nader will want next....:eyes:

[Chan790]

6. Because Nader sold his values for his ego.

Ralph's about Ralph now. He knows that he can get good GOP money to put his face on TV but nobody at the DNC is gonna give him a dime to do anything but STFU and fade away.

I propose that Ralph wrestle Ron (Paul) to the death for the Lyndon LaRouche Memorial* Political Fringe Narcissist title...then we shove the winner into the Grand Canyon.

*-I'm aware that LaRouche isn't dead but some optimism is needed in this moment.

[beac]

8. I say he wrestles both Ron AND Rand Paul and then

we throw all three into the canyon. Though that would be a truly vile act of littering, come to think of it.

[elocs]

11. If Nader were to win the to-the-death wrestling match the Grand Canyon

wouldn't hold his ego.

[HappyMe]

18. So if he can raise plenty of repiglican $$$

why the fuck would you talk about him here? :shrug:


He's so over.

[loyalsister]

7. He's deeply entrenched in his own absolutism

He has done a lot of good and raised a lot of important issues. But he got hooked on a belief that he has all the answers.

[FLAprogressive]

9. What a lame post. There are 10+ primary challengers in the GOP primary. Are you really this dense?

[still_one]

20. and they all preach the same message. I think it is time for Nader to help the repuke primaries for

a change

He already has done enough to the Democrats

I want a little equal time

[derby378]

12. Aren't there enough Republican primary candidates already?

What about that The Rent Is Too Damn High guy? Is he also a GOP candidate, or is he running on the The Rent Is Too Damn High ticket?

[FLAprogressive]

13. Apparently you're only allowed to criticize Dems from the left if you criticize the GOP too.

[City Lights]

14. How many more GOP candidates do you think Nader should call for?

What number of GOP candidates are you shooting for?

[FLAprogressive]

19. Nader could run in the GOP primary himself and people here would still bitch and moan.

[scheming daemons]

23. At least in that case, he'd be honest about his motives.

Since he always works for the GOP anyway.

[Heavy Metal Dude]

15. Many voted for Nader in 2000 and ended up getting at least three terms of Shrub.

Thanks Nader. Now go away!

[digitaln3rd]

21. Don't blame Nader.

Blame the Democratics for running a weak candidate. So sick of people using that excuse.

[HappyMe]

26. lol!

Okay.

[white_wolf]

16. Good for Nader. I'm glad someone is doing it.

I know he won't win, though he would be better off if he did. However, at least progressive issues will get brought up.

[TheWraith]

17. Because that doesn't serve his purpose of electing Republican presidents. nt

[HappyMe]

22. I agree.

'Progressive' that helps to elect the repiglicans. :puke:

[mfcorey1]

24. In every election he always comes in as a spoiler. He has as much credibility as Sarah Palin. nt

[HappyMe]

28. You have won a lovely kewpie dol! nt

[Bonobo]

27. Huh? That's a really dumb question.

Did you think at all before you posted that?

[OHdem10]

29. The Media may select us a Candidate: They keep talking

about "Third Party". but not a party. A candidate
who could be acceptable to both sides because we
are so polarized on Left and Right. Some group
is thinking about putting 'someone up.

[still_one]

30. A lot of that polarization we can blame on that corporate media /nt

[McCamy Taylor]

31. Nader wanted W., because it would mobilize the left. Now he wants Perry because it will mobilize the

left. Great if you make a living being a professional leftist, selling buttons, writing articles, making documentaries a la Michael Moore.

Not so great if you are one of the folks who dies in a war for oil. Or maybe gets water boarded at Gitmo for looking sort of Middle Eastern.
