    He’s baaaacccckkk….Nader forms presidential exploratory committee
    January 30th, 2008, filed by Jeremy Pelofsky
    Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate who has been accused by Democrats of helping hand the White House to George W. Bush in 2000, has formed a committee to explore another presidential bid.

    Sure to stir up a hornet’s nest, Nader launched an Internet site to recruit campaign workers, paid and unpaid, as well as to raise money for a possible White House run.

    Donors who give $300 will receive three books and two DVDs, including Michael Moore’s Sicko movie about the state of health care in the United States.

    He has run several times before, including in 2004 as an independent and in 2000 as the Green Party candidate. That year he was blamed by many for siphoning off votes from Al Gore and ultimately resulting in Bush securing the White House.

    There was a point to it before. Now, it's just sad and pointless. Heck, you could actually blame 9/11 on him. If he drops out and doesn't siphon votes from Gore, Gore wins Fla. If Gore wins Fla, he becomes president. Maybe then 9/11 doesn't happen. If 9/11 doesn't happen, Iraq doesn't happen.


    Yes, I know I'm reaching a long long long way. I could be right though.

    so we are going to have presumably:


    dem - clinton or obama
    rep - mccain or romney
    nader
    bloomberg
    whoever the libertarian party throws out there.
    and probably a run by a huckabee type, dobson picked, social conservative

    it's too bad the only 2 choices that will get any publicity are the 2 that are exactly the same.

    Actually, he could. That's what called butterfly effect. One thing changed, everything changed afterwards, although it could be even worse.

    As for the Hitler comment by another poster, it can't work backwards.

    Michael Moore needs to send a cease and desist letter to Nader for using his video as tool for donations. Moore BEGGED Nader not to run in 2004 because of the crap that happened in 2000.

    He's going to have to work fast. I believe the filing deadline to get on the ballots in all 50 states in March 1.

    I like that the world's-lamest-tool, Matt Gonzalez, signs on at the bottom.

    He runs a completely dishonest campaign for mayor in San Francisco, and then he quits his council position once he doesn't win. Oh, and then, like f*ing Nader, he disappears off the face of the earth.

    Showboating egomaniac fundamentalist lefties.

    Nader also robbed us of our threepeat, mostly notably when the trio of Yao, TMac, and Garnet won 76 regular season games en route to sweeping the playoffs.

    Steve clinched the sweep by strategically running down the clock and throwing up an answered prayer.

    Not a chance of being right. Remember Usama hatched his plans until Clinton's rule. Hell, Clinton has Usama's head on a platter but decided to safely lob a couple of missles in instead. Nice job. :rolleyes:

    Nader might get the money from neo-cons and evangelicals. So I think he will have enough money to run again. :cool:

    Edit: Showboating Egomaniac Lefty Fundamentalists = SELF.

    Whaddya know...

    ymc, you are probably correct.

    The Nader site hosts have not responded to my email stating a problem with their website... (i.e. it exists).

    It would be nice to have a president whose interested in protecting the people, you know, someone not owned by an oil company. But damn that Nader. The nerve of that guy thinking that someone who has the people's interest at heart should try to win the presidency. What an egomaniac! :rolleyes:

    Also, Nader voters don't vote for Gore OR Bush, they stay home if Nader doesn't run.

    Nadir's biggest fan is Nadir. The only thing bigger than Nadir's ego is Nadir's rear end, where he's had his head inserted since 2000.




    Impeach Bush. Save Bush and Nadir's Love Child!

    Usually I would say anything to take votes away from the Democratic Party is something I will back. But this guy needs to just stop.

    only because it isn't what they need to say in order to win the nomination... look at previous voting records (war wise), and they are basically the same on immigration, and many many other issues.
