Nader vs Kucinich: Who is more irrelevant?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

[DenverDem]

1. Bite me!

How's that for relevance?

[mobuto]

2. Kucinich

Kucinich isn't going to cost Kerry the election. Nader just might.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. It's this simple

Nader could cost us the election. Kucinich will not. Therefore Nader is unfortunately more relevant.

[rabid_nerd]

4. Not enough information

Nader is more relevant to strategy as a spoiler, Kucinich is more relevant to issues and the party at large.

[Sparkly]

5. I guess I don't understand the question

"Irrelevant" as in, they cannot change policy or proposals or the Democratic party as a whole?

Or "Irrelevant" as in, they are not a danger to this year's election?

I'm sure it's a good question, I'm just not sure which question it is! :)

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. Apparently, Nader and Kucinich don't understand it either.

lol

[Nimble_Idea]

54. lol, isn't it obvious

it's just an attack, flame bait at worst, funny at best.

[JVS]

7. Kucinich is Corey Haim, Nader is Corey Feldman

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

14. and Kerry is Cory Hart

always wearing his sunglasses at night.

and no, I have no idea what that's supposed to mean

[Zorra]

8. Irrelevant in what regard? n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. Neither

[Desertrose]

10. third choice- this thread

:eyes:

[redqueen]

11. Nice, isn't it? Real UNITY BUILDING going on here.

I shouldn't have come back into this forum.

:puke:

[G_j]

37. I like that answer

where do I vote?

[tinanator]

12. stupidity is relevant

and it is nothing but textbook STUPIDITY to antagonize voters like this. Either that or simply smart Bushwa tactics.

[Classical_Liberal]

13. Why pick at Kucinich

He isn't doing anything to harm Kerry.

[redqueen]

20. Don't you know? It's an ahmurickun tradishun to mock intellectuals.

He thinks, and he looks nerdy, therefore he must be picked on.

Only rational explanation I could think of.

:shrug:

[John_H]

15. Ralph Nader doesn't deserve to hold Dennis' coat.

Kucinich is a died in the wool idealist, dedicated public servant, and an excellent member of congress. Ralph Nader is a megalomaniacal, cynical, opportunistic, lying, union busting, wal-mart investing egomaniac.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

19. Quite

true, I agree completely.

18. I agree -- your personal attack on me is wholly warranted

I am definitely more irrelevant than Nader or Kucinich.

[ibegurpard]

21. Asolutely agreed.

Two thumbs up!

47. thanks

17. Being irrelevant is not necessarily bad.

I picked Kucinich because Nader is more relevant in the sense that he is more detrimental.

[Skittles]

22. how could you put that bastard Nader in with Kucinich?

Kucinich actually has some decency.

[MallRat]

23. At least Kucinich won't get Bush (re)elected.

Glad to read today that Nader has about 1 more week to submit 64,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot in Texas... and he's not close.

If this is a sign of things to come, this is a good thing.

[no name no slogan]

25. Your poll only makes both of the more relevant

Kucinich running not to topple Kerry, but to help him.

If Kucinich and/or Nader are so "irrelevant", then why do you even bother with putting up this pathetic excuse for a poll?

The mere fact that you're commenting on them makes them even more relevant. Burying your head in the sand won't make either of them go away, either.

By just being "against Bush", Kerry by default gets 45% of the vote. However, if he wants to gaurantee victory in November, he'll need at least another 5%.

Running down Nader and Kucinich will not help Kerry get that 5%-- which Kerry himself knows well and good. It's unfortunate that some of his supposed supporters don't recognize this fact yet.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

27. lol

If Kucinich and/or Nader are so "irrelevant", then why do you even bother with putting up this pathetic excuse for a poll?

Why not? I like posting 'pathetic excuses for polls'

Burying your head in the sand won't make either of them go away, either.

Why would I want them to 'go away'??

26. Lame

40. Do you mean you just got out of school? Or are you attacking me?

Or is your comment in some way related to Nader and/or Kucinich?

:shrug:

[Forkboy]

48. lol

[Feanorcurufinwe]

50. In what way?

[aldian159]

31. Nader

Because DK is a member of the party, and as a result can use it to enact meaningful change instead of railing on about how both parties are the same.

[flaminbats]

32. none of the above?

unless Democrats win this election we are the most irrelevant :wow:

[ulysses]

33. more irrelevant to what?

:shrug:

[Padraig18]

34. To mention DK's name in the same breath as RN's....

Dennis is a loyal Democrat for whom I have nothing but respect....

[Lefty48197]

35. Bite me too

I'm supporting Kucinich for Secretary of the Interior. He'll strike fear in the hearts of corporate polluters. And Nader? He's just an idiot. Don't try to lump him in with we irrelevants.

[ludwigb]

38. Comparing Kuninich with Nader is an insult.

You should know better.

[bhunt70]

39. Nader by far. Kucinich still has his job. Very relevant

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

41. Nader, obviously....

Kucinich, unlike Nader, has been repeatedly elected to public office, and is in Congress, sitting on Congressonal comittees, while Nader is just a big mouth and has managed to alientate alot of former sympathizers.

[LiberalBushFan]

42. in terms of magnitude of relevance

Nader has more.

But one candidate has positive relevance the other negative.

[JHBowden]

43. Probably Kucinich.

Yes, Kucinich has an elected office, but Nader may help Bush win another close election.

[G_j]

45. Kucinich

could help Kerry win...

[eridani]

46. He's trying to do that

--by getting that 5% of holdouts to go with the Dems. Slamming him publicly all the time is not the best way to succeed in this endeavor.

[G_j]

49. oh I'm

not slamming him at all. Sorry if it sounded that way. I'm a strong Kucinich supporter. Perhaps I should have said Dennis WILL help Kerry win. Especially if the Kerry folks listen.

[Darranar]

51. Irrelevant to what?

The 2004 general election?

The political scene in general?

The policies and positions of the democratic party?

[nomaco-10]

52. Who is more irrelevant, Feanocurifine or blm.....

hard one ain't it? Kind of like trying to decide rather to read a post by sangho or billy bunter.... descisions, descisions.......

A very thought provoking question....

[Feanorcurufinwe]

53. Wow, you insulted 3 people not participating in the thread

are you going for a record or something?
