He's back and he's as dour looking as ever. Ralph Nadar appears to have sucked on too many lemons, but that isn't stopping him from raining on the Democrat parade by deciding to run for President of the United States as a candidate for the Green Party. What a riot!
The Dems have attempted to persuade Ralphie not to run, but to no avail. He is going to have a hard time getting on the ballot in all fifty states, but he will most definitely take some votes from the Democratic nominee, which appears to be John Kerry. Democrats are pitching a hissy fit and I am lovin' every minute of it.
Do you think they are trying to persuade Ross Perot to run again? ;-)
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Don't you find it a curious perversion of our entire political system when people are enthused by an ostensible dilution of the "opposing party" as you are regarding Nader, Joel? A bigger issue, though, is that there's something wrong with the entire political system, in my opinion, when having more potentially good candidates in the race (though I'm not at all a fan of Nader) is actually viewed as a negative, not a positive?

I guess that depends which side you are voting for. Incidently, I am NOT a huge Bush supporter, but given the alternatives, I may as well be.

Why shouldn't Ralph Nader run ?? I thought that was part of our American system?.? What,some one has decided that anyone that votes for Nader is taking votes away from whoever the Democratic candidate is?
Sorry- I voted for Nader in the last election-if he hadn't have been a candidate I would've voted for Bush. I'd just like to know who is God that they know how the election would've turned out if it hadn't been for Ralph??
