Ralph Nader loves John McCain

In 2004, Nader asked McCain to help his campaign -- and the senator rushed to his side. Is the consumer advocate now returning the favor?

    This might be it - there's another idea

    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.
