“Nader Swings into Action”

Some time after I recovered from vomiting and pooping everywhere almost every democrat began doing just that after watching Meet the Press Sunday. Ralph Nader is back in the bid for the White House. Well since Nader had people vote for him in Florida who likely would have voted for Gore the state was lost to Bush. Of course there was that whole hanging chad thing. Depending on who you actually believe about the true winner of Florida it never would have came down to hanging chads if it weren’t for Nader. I honestly think that Bush actually did win the state, but I am not going to open that can of worms.

Nader came out swinging bashing Bush and how White House politics cater to the businesses over the little guy. Bush of course easily the biggest example of having his hands tied to big companies. Even people who may not think he sacrifices the nation’s safety for Oil can’t deny that he has friends in the business. So perhaps Nader thinks this is his year simply because average Joe American thinks the war in Iraq was done in order to make people rich and nothing else.

However many Democrats are now thinking that Nader is in coo hoots with Bush and wants take away votes from the democrat hopeful. I was listening to Howard Eskin and the caller was going on about how Nader is getting paid by Bush to help steer the election in favor of reelection. Even liberal bloggers are starting to think Nader is up to no good. This theory is really starting to get some legs, of course its based no evidence at all.

However I really don’t think Nader is going to do much of anything this time other than blow hot air and help make the democrats make Bush look bad. First off he is not running for the Green Party this time but as an independent which means he will get less money and it will be a challenge to even get on the ballet in some states. You can write him in, but we all know how dumb and lazy people are. So I really don’t see him swinging the election this time if anything the democrats will just steal his words to use against Bush. That would coincide with their early stages of their election plan, turn people against Bush.


Secondly, when most Americans vote (the few that actually do) many of them are going to wonder if the person they are voting for would have to the balls to stand up against terrorism or do anything that has to be done. It really depends on if they feel safe if God forbid something else happens in the US. Or even to keep anyone from messing with us like that again to begin with. People I just think look at Nader as too much of a wimp. I just get the feeling that even people who voted for him last time will likely think that he is in over his head in a post 9/11 world. Hell I think terrorist organizations would see Nader as gift sent from Allah.

So to sum up I really don’t think Nader will do much to throw this election in either direction really. I don’t think Nader is on Bush’s payroll. I assume in his mind he thinks he can win unless he just trying to make a statement. This time it would cost him a lot more to make a statement so he is either very confident or crazy. At best 20 years from now he might be seen as trailblazer for a third party system that I still believe is possible. I mean look how divided this country is on some issues you have to wonder if someone can find the middle market in the next two decades if things continue. Nader is just too washed up, and actually is too far liberal. So if Nader thinks he can win I imagine he has very little fear in his heart from either potential democrat candidate and sees himself on an even plane with who ever comes out of the west. I mean who every gets the nomination. Maybe he thinks the democrat candidates are very weak, and perhaps many people from the Donkey party feel the same way which is why they are so scared.


“My God even Nader thinks he beat are hopefuls!”


Which begs the question why was I listening to Howard Eskin
