  • This might be it - there's another idea

    [Read the article: Ralph Nader loves John McCain]

    I honestly believe that Mr. Nader has a serious disease. It is syphilis. Syphilis, if untreated, leads to a decline in mental powers and a grandiosity in vision.

    Mr. Nader exhibits both of those symptoms. He certainly has exhibited a decline in mental powers. This was clearly exhibited as early as 2000, when he indicated that there was no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Today, he has reiterated the error, by again indicating that there is no difference. Clearly, this guy is as nutty as a fruitcake.

    The grandiosity (psychiatric terminology for a belief that you are a big shot, the God complex, etc) is clearly evident as well. I myself have a firm belief in my own importance. By godfrey, I'm a big deal! I will NOT, however, be running for President any time soon. Mr. Nader clearly believes that he is a Big Big Deal, and he is so Important and Vital that we cannot survive without him.

    He's a sick sick man.

  • One mark of a sub-par intellect

    is to ignore evidence.

    The FACTS are that the Republican Party has, time and time and time and time and time again, funded the Green Party. Green Party buffoons (and that is all that there is, buffoons in that party) prefer to ignore this fact, but it is documented IRREFUTABLY.

    The FACTS are that the Republican Party has, time and time and time and time and time again, collected signatures for the Green Party. This is not an opinion. This is a fact.

    The Green Party is filled with people who are, quite frankly, not very bright. Nader is himself an idiot, and anyone who supports him is an idiot. That's not an opinion, that is a FACT.

  • For the Green Party readers

    who need help collecting the dots (and that would be most), the REASON why the Republicans love the Greens is that the Green Party's ONLY function, in a 2-party democracy like ours, is to split the Left.

    We are not, surprising though it may be to the Green Party readers, a multi-party parliamentary state like Israel, Italy, Germany, or any other of the European state. We do not form a government by assembling a coalition of minority parties. In this country, we have 2 parties, and that's the way it is. The ENTIRE function of the other parties is to fracture their side of the spectrum.

    On the right, there are the Libertarians, the Constitution Party, and several others. They will never gain power. I love them nonetheless, because a strong libertarian candidate means good things for Democrats.

    The Greens, the Socialists, and the Communists fracture the right. I don't really care about the idiotic crap about the Democrats not being the party of the people. They are MORE a party of the People than the Republicans, and that's about as much as we can get. We are not going to get a true Party of the People in this country, because the voters do not want that. If you promise that, you will be called a communist, and run out of town on a rail.

    A vote for a Green is a vote for a Republican. That's not my opinion, that is a FACT.

  • Reading Nader

    "Mr. Conanson, I have been reading Nader's articles regularly for five years, "

    I cannot think of anything more useless or ridiculous than that. Mr. Nader has nothing to offer. He is, actually, insane. After all, if you believe something and say it over and over and over again, that's the definition of "insane".

    He has said that there is "no difference between Democrats and Republicans". If you say that without snorting derisively, you are, in fact, insane.

    Why would anyone read anything written by this living sack of shit?

  • Better to

    many FACTS at my disposal than using a disposal (that would be Ralphie, for the irony-challenged) for a candidate, like you Nader lovers.

  • Whatever Nader accomplished

    [Read the article: Ralph Nader loves John McCain]

    was destroyed in 2000. He prostituted (defined as a use of something in an invalid or wrong manner) his former success to push the Green Party. As such, his efforts led directly to the Iraq War.

    Nader is to blame for Iraq.

    Nader siphoned away the votes for the winning margin in FL, NH and IA. Without him, we would be finishing up the second term of Al Gore.

    Stop this CRAP about how good he is and what he accomplished. He is an evil stupid person, and anyone who supports him is evil as well. Evil is used here in a deliberate way.

  • A job for Ralphie

    "why don't the dems just buy Nader off? Offer him a plum job policy job in the new administration, in return for supporting the dem in November."

    You make a strong assumption. You assume that Ralph is rational. I don't think that he is. He is trying to make some kind of deranged point, and is not interested in a sensible idea like yours.
