Jeez, what an ego.

The difference in past campaigns is that Democrats (and the rest of the left) are largely satisfied with one of the two Democratic candidates. Also, Nader is starting very, very late.

This will be like Alan Keyes' campaign.

It was said before and I'll agree....it'll go a long ways toward electing McCain as Dems and Indies split their votes.

It's amazing. A lot of people complain that we're limited to two major parties in this country. Now a guy runs for President as a third party candidate and people start b!tching.

What was Nader's impact in '04 anyway?

Most likely impact? It cost Kerry FL, and got Bush recoronated.

And what was wrong with the people of FL having that choice? If Nader took votes from Republicans you would probably be having a poli-orgasm.

Well I don't know at all that the same people who rail against the two party system are the ones complaining about Nader, Boxman. I know some of y'all make like we all belong in the same box but (just like the right) the left does have it's seperate factions with sometimes conflicting perspectives.

But generally, I agree with your post: shut up and let that crazy mofo run!

roflmao Reps vote for a man who made his living by chastising American business? Not likely. The only reason you're in favor of his running, is precisely what I said above; it would go along ways toward putting a Rep in the WH...again...despite the evidence that the Rep party is as bad if not worse than the Dems at fiscal responsibility.

Hence the word IF in my post you hick.

I'm voting for the Republican nominee unless a third party candidate just impresses the hell out of me. I could give a toss if Nader runs because he wasn't getting my vote anyway.

I agree with myself too. Let Nader, Bloomberg or whoever else run. Maybe one of them will impress us and we'll vote for them.

there were four posts prior to yours.

the first was simply reporting the news.

the second said Nader was free to do as he pleases.

the third basically said it was an ego run for Nader, and that the Dems seem pretty content at this point.

and the fourth said it may very well split the democratic vote.

but nowhere in there did i see anything even remotely considered bitching...

Are you seriously Box...that stupid, or are you doing your best Jag impersonation tonight?

Well aint that a shocker! C'mon..admit it...if Satan himself ran under the Rep banner...you'd end up voting for him too, cause when you pull that lever for straight-party votes...bingo! Thats the way it works.
