Fox News is reporting Nader IS RUNNING!

[YEM]

That's what their web site is saying. What a meglomaniac!!! I almost understood him running in 2000. But now???? Get over yourself Ralph. Hasn't Kucinich been getting your word out??

1. Ego

:cry:

2. I heard on CNN that he's not announcing until Sunday

:shrug:

[FARAFIELD]

3. Im not sure if this is allowed

But here goes "fuck you ralph and the horse you rode in on" although thats unfair to the horse

[RobertSeattle]

4. Consider the source though

I have yet to see anybody else report this. Wouldn't it be great if this is a "dirty trick" way to discredit Faux News?

[Fatima]

5. It was also reported on MSNBC

Just saw it myself.

I emailed my Green friends and asked them, WTF? Does he even think he has a chance? He's gonna strip away badly needed Dem and Independent votes just like last time.

Crap.

10. The only Dem and independent votes

he will peel away are people who would not have voted for Kerry or Edwards anyway. BTW, I've mentioned this in a bunch of other Nader threads - he will have a difficult time getting enough signatures to get on the ballot because the Green Party organization isn't there to help him. This isn't like 2000 at all.

12. Strange - still not showing at their website though

Perhaps they want to build up the suspense for MTP

6. did he wait to see who would be a threat to his old pal, George?

and it appears that Kerry /Edwards is very strong and the polls are showing as much as ten points over George. Enter third party,

I saw Paul Weyrich on S-Span trying to convince people that the debates are not run properly and offering his own organisation as the one to run the debates. He also said that third party runners should be allowed into the debates.

They know that George cannot even say "Gentlemen start your engines" properly and would be trounced good in any debate with Kerry or Edwards, who actually know the details of the issues of which they speak. For that matter any one of the strong runners from the Democrats could have trounced George in a debate.

For background on Paul Weyrich, and CNP. google CNP for info on that secretive organisation full of right wingers, some of them extremist.

Anyhow, it is interesting that Nader held off helping George out until now.

So we have Laura, Mommy dear, Peggy Noonan and now Ralph Nader all coming out of the woodwork to campaign for the serial killer. Great political analysts with a lot of experience, all. Barbara Bush's policies were so great that many foreign countries are rushing to employ some of her great ideas, and Laura--great politician--almost as articulate as George with some good ideas re children--they should all read. They, of course, do not lie or pretend they are something they are not. :eyes:

7. Nader makes me sick.

He hasn't contributed a thing to the betterment of this country in 20 years. What an egotistical asshole.

[KamaAina]

8. Run, Ralph, run!

and don't stop 'til you get to the border :evilgrin:

[trumad]

9. There is a bright side to it...

We won't see the usual Nader lovers supporting the ego-maniac on DU since DU plans to not allow it.

[Zero Gravitas]

14. Good

This is the Democratic Underground, not the "Bush Enabler Underground"

[Zero Gravitas]

11. How much are the GOP paying him?

I wonder/ There can't be any other explanation. Another Nader run will accomplish NOTHING other than make it easier for Chimpy to hang on to power. it won't change the Democratic party in any positive way, it won't make a third party any more viable, it can only prolong our national nightmare.

I can only hope that the poor delusional fools who voted for him last time WAKE THE FUCK UP. There is a difference between Bush and Kerry (hint: one of them is a fascist and one of them isn't.)

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I don't think it will hurt anything if he does run

Too many folks are ABB this time around for him to make a diff.

Would love to see whatever Dem wins put him in place as Sec'y of Commerce though. :evilgrin:

[dryan]

15. Hope Nader doesn't run this time

Ralph Nader is a great guy. He has done a lot for our country to change things and level the playing field in business, for consumers, and in government, but I hope to hell he is not serious. If he does run again, I double hope to hell he doesn't come to Florida--we want a landslide for the Democrats this time. Please Ralph...are you listening or is your ego getting in the way??

[Piperay]

16. The GOP's whore

that's Nader. I haven't heard one single word of criticism regarding all the evil that chimp has done come from Nader's GOP ass kissing mouth.

[HEyHEY]

17. Fuck FUck FUck fuck

I'm too mad to carry on this post.

[HowdyDUit]

18. Which candidate supports Gay Marriage?

That is the one that will get MY vote.
