Why does Nader run?

[JohnLocke]

[Kierkegaard]

1. He's alergic to Viagra?

2. I dont know

but I dont know how he calls himself an underdog campaign when he takes money from the republicans to help his campaign, Cobb I can respect but Nader I can't, I appreciate what he's done over the years but its obvious, hes spoiling it.

3. Other

He digs kinda dumpy pothead hairy hippy chicks. While not a pot smoker, he loves to examine their tofu if you catch my drift.

4. More Sinister Explanation . . . .

Anyone familiar with Stalinism will recognize the tactic of creating "revolutionary flux" -- i.e., endeavor to make things SO bad, SO oppressive, SO fascist, that then there will be a backlash.

This is what Nader is doing. He wants the Dem's to lose. He wants Bushie Boy and the Pubbie Congress to try to dismantle the entire New Deal -- the National Labor Relations Act, the Social Security Act, etc., and the Great Society -- Medicare, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Beware the first few weeks of a second Bush term. Then the mask will drop. It'll be 1934 Germany all over again. And Nader will be rubbing his hands together.

5. what's a Monday night without an anti-Nader circle jerk....

Flame bait. Exactly how does this differ from RW radio talk show hosts impuning the motives of liberals and democrats?

7. Flame Bait

You've got a point, but Nader ANNOYS me.

Not really trying to bait a flame. But I stand by my opinion of Nader. What a navel-gazer.

6. a few rambling thoughts:

1. ego, for sure.
2. there's probably a SHRED of sincerity in his offering an alternative to the 2-party system
3. perhaps he's offering Repukes a spoiler, for those who hate Bush, but are too proud to vote for Kerry

I think Ralph is beginning to look more and more like Pat Paulson.
