5. He's got a good heart
...but an even bigger ego.

He cares about America and think he'll prove it by NOT running.

8. Jello wants to abolish the military?
Edited on Fri Dec-19-03 12:50 AM by syrinx9999
We should certainly be more judicious in military intervention, but abolish the military? I no more want to be a slave to communist China than to the BFEE.

And lower the voting age to five? It doesn't read like he's joking.

On edit: oops. I guess it is a joke after all. Sorry.

18. Is Nader the Green Party? I thought he was an Independent?
I thought the Green Party was focused primarily on environmental issues. I never hear Nader speak of environmental concerns, except in an indirect way when speaking of other issues.

9. I just added my two cents...
Basically said that the entire country would be very happy if he sat this one out, as he did enough damage the last time out. Boy, that felt good. Only problem is, the egomaniacal a**hole probably won't listen to any negative feedback. What a shame!!!

12. President of where?
Oh, HERE?

jeez...with the outpouring of support the guy received in 2000, and all the love and affection his campaign garnered, you would think Nader already knew the answer to that question.

Maybe Ralph isn't as sharp as he once seemed.

16. I believe that he may have a mental disorder called "Narcissism"
http://www.homestead.com/narcissism/ntype.html

The Narcissistic Type (N)

He would convey the impression that "I will be the greatest, the most glorious and the most beautiful, and in fact I think that I already am!" He is self-admiring. He has great ambitions with regard to future accomplishments, but does not recognize his limitations. His eyes are set more toward himself and toward the limelight of recognition to be attained in the future than toward the actual tasks with which he must deal. His voice is soothing and clear, and may be directed toward the horizon where all can hear it.

-snip-

Conceited people, on the other hand, are fools ignorant of themselves, who make themselves conspicuous by being so; they try for positions of honor under an impression of their own abilities, and then, if they get them, prove failures. They rig themselves up in fine clothes and pose for effect, and so on; they wish what good fortune they have to be known to the world, and talk about themselves, as if that were the road to honor...

-snip-

Note that we have discovered the personality type of the "proselytizing evangelist" or the "self-anointed prophet". The important qualities of such a personality are as follows. First, he does not recognize his limitations, and his glorious goals become frank delusions of grandeur. Second, lacking perfectionist qualities, he does not occupy himself with the fine details of the means by which his goals are to be attained. For this he requires followers or disciples to rally around him for the Cause. Third, he is self-anointed, thus in glorifying his Cause, he is in inverted terms glorifying himself.

-snip-


In placid circumstances this individual is a friendly, unaggressive, perennially optimistic, often charming individual who becomes radiant like a sunflower when flattered. Rather than be embarrassed by adulation, he will revel in it. Whatever his station in life, he will not be able to resist the temptation to mount the podium if the opportunity presents itself.... Alternatively he may be drawn to one of the professions where public oratory is possible. He may thus be a politician, a social activist or an evangelist..... He presents himself as a dedicated individual with a soothing, self-assured manner.
