Talk about a lose-lose-win situation! :spray:

But, for a man who could only get a 3% of the populace (nationwide average), he's given a lot of free publicity as the man who put W in the White House... seems unfair. Is Nader the head of the Supreme Court and clones of all the people who counted after Election 2000 tooo?

1. Your link is from February 2007

At this point, it looks like Obama is more likely to be the nominee. And yet Nader is still talking about running.

[BooScout]

15. sort of negates his theory doesn't it? n/t

[jlake]

2. Not true.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

3. Nader Is Running Because Egotistical Narcissistic Losers Shrivel Without Their Whorish Attention.

That's all this is about. His ego. As always. He's a piece of shit.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Precisely!

8. Why do only seem to hear from him every 4 years?

The same problems he talks about...corporate influence in politics, the environment, etc....have been around before now. If he's so interested in doing something about these problems, why does he always seems to wait for a Presidential election to bring up the need to confront these issues?

You can only come with the realization that it's all about him and his ego.

5. He is running for his ego trip

He wants to destroy the democrat party and this time its not going to happen. Lets turn our backs when we see him on the tube and not build up his ego. He will not put another repuke in office.

6. Nader supported Edwards

And he said early on, even before his public support, that he'd only enter the race if Edwards didn't make it. He hates BOTH Obama and Clinton.

BTW, the date of that story is Feb. 16 2007, when Hillary was the presumed frontrunner.

7. Will Edwards publicly ask Nader to not run?

And if he did, would Nader listen?

[NastyRiffraff]

16. No idea

I don't think they are personally or professionally close, so probably not. I very much doubt Nader listens to anyone but his own ego.

[jackson_dem]

10. Yup, he considers both Clinton and Obama to be corporate and rightfully so

[Bitwit1234]

9. And I read it is the other way around

he wants to give real Independents a change to vote against the OTHER CANDIDATE AND NOT HILLARY.

[jackson_dem]

11. So why doesn't he wait for the primaries to end? He jumped in with Obama the front-runner

The year old link does not apply to the realities of today.

12. Are you people ever gonna stop with those ludicrous claims?

Nader isn't running if Hillary gets the nomination, he is running regardless of who gets the nomination.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. nom nom nom.

[BooScout]

14. Ah yes blame it on Clinton......

I was wondering how long it would take. :eyes:

[ronnykmarshall]

17. Bullshit.

Nader said he's run if either Clinton or Obama got the nomination.
