Also, please tell us of the strategy that your candidates have to win...

That is incredibly articulate, McCamy. TY for it, and TY for writing Nader. Hekate Feb 2015 #1
Blaming Nader is ridiculous. He only got to vote once. He didn't force anyone to vote for him. rhett o rick Feb 2015 #123
I want a robust primary. Where did the OP or I say the Dreaded Name? Hekate Feb 2015 #124
I think what Nader did was EVIL. If he had not been in the picture, GORE WOULD HAVE WON BIGTIME!! trueblue2007 Feb 2015 #127

So you are promoting the Keystone pipeline as an argument against Hillary? geek tragedy Feb 2015 #32
Actually, some of the environmentalists are idiots to oppose it. Savannahmann Feb 2015 #58
More tar sands oil would flow with a pipeline because it's cheaper. geek tragedy Feb 2015 #62
Oh it's a question of quantity. Savannahmann Feb 2015 #65
the more dirty oil that is extracted and burned, the worse for the planet. geek tragedy Feb 2015 #66
