Is anyone else just fed up with Ralph Nader?

[Zuni]

I read in 2000 that the Republican Leadership Council paid some of his expenses. Bush even said 'I am voting for Nader.'
That sanctimonious old windbag Nader knows he will not win, not even come close. So why is he running? Does he hate Democrats that much?
Does he want to see 4 more years of failed leadership, environmental degredation and high level corruption?
Who is paying him now?

1. Nader who?

5. That's it! Just ignore him

Stop talking about him, stop thinking about him, don't rant against him.

Starve him of the oxygen he needs, publicity.

All the major blogs (Atrios, Counterspin, Daily Kos) refuse to even speak about him, good or bad.

Good policy.

2. He's embarrassing them all

All the folks who voted for him in the year 2000 and who now very understandably regret it. I wonder: why is it that we never see Phil Donahue around anymore?

3. Its time to lock Nader in a Corvair and send him away

If he wants to be in public office, run for congress. Normally I wouldn't give a shit if he wants to run, but we just can't afford him right now.

6. how about a Pinto?

didn't he crusade against Pintos in the 1970s?
I would love for him to be rear ended in a Pinto.

4. Let's start spelling his name...

Nadir ;)

7. here's the short list for NADIR contributors of other persuasions

<snip>
Nearly 10 percent of the Nader contributors who have given him at least $250 each have a history of supporting the Republican president, national GOP candidates or the party, according to computer-assisted review of financial records by The Dallas Morning News.

Among the new crop of Nader donors: actor and former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, Florida frozen-food magnate Jeno Paulucci and Pennsylvania oil company executive Terrence Jacobs. All have strong ties to the GOP.

Definition of NADIR: lowest point

9. Funny

considering Oil companies are among Nader's favorite public targets.
He is really the best spoiler ever

8. Let me be the first to point out....

that in America, anyone over 35 (who was born in America) has the right to run for the presidential office. The fact that you won't win unless your white, male and christian (NO OXFORD COMMA!), is besides the point.

10. Nader is a jerk.

To say the least.

11. When someone you once cared for

and respected and trusted BETRAYS you, it's natural to have a strong reaction any time you see them. Ralph has betrayed us. His selfish act puts a generation of young Americans in danger's way, not to mention the rest of the planet.

12. I'm just ignoring him.

Far as I can tell, that's the best strategy for dealing with Nader. Put him out of your mind and concentrate your energies on getting John Kerry into the White House!
