I am so tired of Ralph Nader.
He is the most negative, pessimistic, unhappy, downer that I have ever encountered in his life. Not only is the glass half empty for him but the water in it is arsenic and it's going to kill us all.

I hope to God that he stays out of this race. I hope he doesn't even endorse anyone. He already destroyed one election, leave this one alone Ralph!

If he does run between his meetings with Republican stratgests and his constant appearances on FOX he'll probably have Grover Norquist as his campaign manager.

I truly believe that Nader has Narcisistic Personality Disorder. He desperately needs to be in the spotlight. Hence the title of his book "Crash!ng the Party" . He is an egomaniac and I don't believe he has a concience.

Is anybody else with me on this?

4. Thinking about going Green but not if he is the candidate.
I never knew him to take any strong position on the environment - his issues were, as far as I know, consumerism and corruption in corporate boardrooms.

5. If he runs, I will have to consider him as a potential for my vote
I hated him in 2000, but might be swayed in 2004 depending upon who the Democratic nominee is.

6. No offense,
but the man seems like such a cantakerous (sp?) old man with a chip on his shoulder out to destory the Democratic Party because they *gasp* won't nominate him. I like Bush better than I like Nader and that's saying a lot because even hearing the name ""Dubya" makes me feel violently ill. I think Nader is certifiably insane. He may also be in a stage of what psychologists call hypermania. He defenitly seems to have delusions of grandeur.

13. So you like him and/or Bush more than Kerry?
Very well thought out position Walt.

7. I am so tired of Nader haters.
"I hope to God that he stays out of this race. I hope he doesn't even endorse anyone. He already destroyed one election, leave this one alone Ralph!"

He did not "destroy one election". The lazy and complacant American people are to blame. Not one friggin man.

Arg.

9. He certainly did his part.
He also has a very evil smirk that scarily resembles Bush's.

16. Me too.
2000 sits squarely on the shoulders of the crooks in the White House and their cronies like Katherine Harris.

8. Nader is irrelevant in 2004
On the other hand, the war will be the undoing of the Democrats if the party nominates a prowar candidate such as Kerry.

10. Kerry is not pro-war anymore.
He has the easy "I was misled" thing to fall back on.

Nader can still be a threat, even though every time he talks to me it sounds like,"blah blah blah blah blah blah... blah blah blah... blah blah......" and then it just trails off.

15. So can we assume you didn't like Kery's position on IWR?
Your 5000 posts on this subject haven't been clear on this point.

Please keep distorting his vote and record, I'm sure Republicans appreciate your tireless efforts to smear our front-runner on their behalf.

11.  This topic is the downer...
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 06:08 PM by flaminbats
Last time I saw Nader on television, I was impressed and excited by his message.

There is no reason to be against another person's involvement in politics, especially if that person is able to motivate young people who normally wouldn't participate or even vote. I think it is both immoral and corrupt for a responsible liberal party to suggest that Nader shouldn't even endorse a Democrat, or that our party's candidates are too good for people who once supported Nader!

Nader didn't put shrub in office, and those who seek out just another scapegoat in our flawed political process really have nothing new to bring among the current choices..and should again think about why they vote for democrats.

12. I know! Start another Nader thread!
That'll ensure that he gets no attention.
