Ralph Nader, the White Knight of Hillarism?
Things have gotten downright rotten around here.

Now Hillarites are trying to push Ralph Nader on us?
Do they forget 2000?

This is fully demonstrative of a true Cult of Personality.
They are willing to sacrifice their own well-being as well as the future of this Nation and the World all for spite.
Spite.

I know they have invested alot in Hillary, and they do not want to see all this go to waste.
But is it worth wasting a once in a Generation opportunity just to satisfy a vendetta?

Obama has won this fair and square with the support of the People and their Pledged Delegates.

Do you think even Hillary would approve of what you are doing?
I think she has too much respect for Party and Country to be this selfish.

Before you burn down the Barn because your prize pig didn't win a blue-ribbon,
think about the consequences of such an action.

1. It really is amazing to me the willingness the Hillbots have to sink this party
if their candidate is not nominated.

2. Nader hurts Clinton in the general way more than he hurts Obama
No matter how much Ralphie flails, he'll be lucky to get 20 votes. OTOH, if the Clintons slime their way to the nomination, he's going to get a lot more and we might be saying hello to President McCain in November. :scared:

3. Oh dear
You might want to pick another barn animal. Or maybe even "prize tomato" or "prize giant pumpkin" - they have those at the state fair too.

4. "your prize pig..." you win the slimer prize
your claims aren't supported by any facts but don't let that stop you from sliming away. and Im not even a hillary supporter.

6. are you a Nader supporter?
My claims are supported by the actions of Hillarites on this forum.
They are who this is addressing.

9. I have not witnessed Hillary supporters promoting Nader
so I do not see what validity the OP has.

For the record, I'm an Obama supporter.

25. I have that OP on ignore
Which basically means that person is antagonistic and disingenuous, so it is no surprise.

26. Is it the same thread as above?
If so, I can't see it because I have that OP on ignore. But consider this...a person would not be on my ignore list if they did not display griefer tendencies. Perhaps such a statement is just meant to stir the pot and get them attention?

Seriously, such behavior is not typical of Hillary supporters. They are the ones touting the loyalty oaths, typically.

20. divisive is supporting Nader over Obama
I'm just pointing out that your buddies are doing so.

Maybe you should take it up with them.

22. Hillary supporters are no more monolithic
than Obama supporters. You take examples of a few people who have said they would vote for Nader and then you somehow extrapolate that to your childish, namecalling agenda.

You are dishonest and your post is dishonest flamebait.

24. I address those who created this issue. You admit they exist.
Either call them out for what they are doing, or quit attacking those who do.
