Nader "The real ageless wonder"


We all know him, he is the bailout if you can't pick one of the candidates when you step into the poll both. Ralph Nader is runing for pesidant again which is no suprise,but what you might not know is that on Saturday, Oct 25th Ralph Nader became the new world record holder for most speeches in a day. he spoke for at least 255mins in 21 towns. The article said that he went around in towns in Massachutes talking to anyone who would listen. He used many different settings for the speeches, he used a deli, a farmers market and even a libaray. he stayed each time and spoke for 15mins to 30mins. That is the deduction we need in all of our candidates! All he needs to now is to get people to start listing to him and he might get 10% of the votes, Godspeed Nader.

I think it's terrible how most of america turns a blind eye on Ralph Nader, and I think one thing they should do is let him in on at least one of the debates, so he can get a fair shot. I think it's interesting how many canidates for president there actually are. I was watching the Colbert Report the other day, and he was interviewing the Socialist Party's canidate for president. Who knew there was even a socialist party in the US, let a lone a canidate for president.

There were quite a few typos that made the sentence fluency off, but still readable. I would have liked to see more opinion and not just paraphrasing. And, Nader, seriously. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. All Nader does is take 3% or so away from the democratic candidate. It's great for him to be out there for people who don't want Obama or McCain, but all he's doing is making it harder for Obama to win. Regardless of the amount of speeches in a dat that he can give, he's in my opinion, just a liabitlity to the democratic party. And the reason why he can't debate is because he's so far behind. And in the pre convention debates, he didn't have enough delegates to debate. Those are the rules.

I completely agree with molly. Nader is a political hack and a parasite who should be eliminated. His massive ego allows him take away votes from the democratic party which they desperately need. Until we change our system of voting to something like instant runoff voting, the only thing 3rd party candidates will do is take away votes from candidates that actually have a shot at winning.

I can't say I hate Nader. No, that's too strong of a word. I can say that I dislike him very much. I honestly believe that the United States would be much better off if he had mysteriously disappeared under suspicious circumstances just before the presidential election in 2000. If he had not run, Al Gore would have most likely won and the world would be a much happier place. We wouldn't have a discouraging president and all the other countries would like us more. Maybe Nader wants a terrible president?

Personally I think that Nader is a joke. Although, he may have some good points he takes away from voters more then he gives back. He has ran for president like 10 times I think its time he takes a hint,
