What will you do if Kerry picks Nader for VP

[AntiCoup2K4]

Will you vote for a unity ticket?

Whatever support he loses from the ultra-right wing DLC faction of the party, he would gain ten-fold in independents and liberals who love Nader.
(yes, I completely ripped off Ringmastery's McCain thread, but I figured Ralphie and Johnny Mac get an equal amount of bitching around here, so I was just curious how uniting the Left would do as opposed to uniting the Right)

1. Vote for it.

It is my policy to reward moves to the left and punish moves to the right

[wyldwolf]

2. vote for it

..but I think the ultra left loony faction would resist it more than the moderate DLC democrats.

[balanced]

35. Knowing who's president now,

I'd vote for Kerry even if Al Sharpton were on the ticket.

[arcos]

3. I don't think many people love Nader... n/t

[TheFarseer]

4. WOW

I would have to swollow really hard and vote for it. But God damn I hope I don't see anything like that

[noahmijo]

5. Interesting Question

Well on a positive point it would seem like he wouldn't be able to lose, Since the majority of the country is essentially liberal or left leaning to the point where they're in Nadar's corner, at the same time Nadar's just a bit too much to the left for my tastes, and I don't see how him and Kerry would get along given what appears to be many differences. But who knows maybe they could come to a compromise that could possibly unite us free enterprise types with the hardcore anti-corporate types.

Hey I'd be celebrating if that happened.

6. Vote for it. But the far left does not equal moderates in number

Nader is superior to McCain, since although he is also a hypocrite and a politician, he at least has said the right thing most of the time.

[NMDemDist2]

7. ick! Nader ??? icky icky icky

Did i mention I think Nader is creepy and icky? I'd still vote for Kerry but I'd have to hold my nose. x(

[IndianaGreen]

8. Laugh my ass off...

watching the spin meisters turn Nader from a goat to a hero.

Kerry better announce a running mate quickly, or come out and shootdown all of the VP trial balloons that are being put out by "unnamed" Democrats.

[ulysses]

9. LOL - that was my thought

Still, I'd vote for it. :D

[AngryYoungMan]

10. If that happened, then the Naderites would vote for Bush.

They specialize in perversity and backwards logic.

[leftistagitator]

11. I would happily vote for it

My problem with Nader is that he wants to split the liberal segment of America thus helping Republicans, if he was working with the Democratic Party I wouldn't have an issue. It's not gonna happen, but I would vote for it.

[onehandle]

12. Won't happen.

DU needs a fantasy forum for all McCain, Hillary, Nader, and President Clinton VP delusions.

[Kahuna]

13. LOL! "Snarf.* I'm just as likely to grow wings and fly.

:P Yer killin' me.

[lastknowngood]

14. Pass out

n/t

[zulchzulu]

15. I'd ask for my ticket back to Planet Earth

The chance of that happening are about as equal to Angelie Jolie stopping by my house to deliver a pizza with her Victoria Secret model friends.

One can dream.

[Doomsayer13]

16. um vote for it

I'd vote for it just like how I'd likely vote for Kerry/McCain

[WI_DEM]

17. know that hell truly has frozen over

it won't happen but if it did vote for it.

[SaveElmer]

18. Cry...as I watch * win all 50 states!!!

And we get stuck with 4 more years

[osaMABUSh]

19. McCain or maybe Nader replacing Cheney is more likely

let's not get silly with this Kerry-Nader ticket talk.

[AntiCoup2K4]

24. Think this is silly?

Wait until you see the one they come up with. Another gutless sellout is a likely guess, given the DLC/DNC pattern so far.

[Zorra]

20. Done. n/t

[Kurt Remarque]

21. yuk!

[pinto]

22. Is there a reality here?....n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Vote for Kerry like I was going to anyway...

He could put Chimp on the bottom of the ticket and I'd still vote for him with the knowledge that he plans to make the VP spot useless.

25. ABB

Put freaking Pee Wee Herman in as the VP, who cares?

Repeat the mantra -

aNYBODY bUT bUSH
aNYBODY bUT bUSH
aNYBODY bUT bUSH

[Piperay]

26. Vote for Kerry

the same as I will if he picks McCain or anyone else including Nader, I want chimp OUT.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Be happier about voting for this ticket than almost

any other Kerry-Someone combo except if Dennis was selected instead.

[Padraig18]

28. This is as stupid and pointless as the 'What if he picks McCain?' stuff.

He's going to pick a DEMOCRAT, for fuck's sake!

:wtf:

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. You would hope so, but if you believe all the speculative articles lately.

....naming DLC'ers, PNAC'ers and other assorted traitors, maybe not? :(

[sangh0]

34. Why not?

Because some of us don't believe everything we read.

[samsingh]

29. i would support Kerry and his ticket.

[apnu]

31. I'd vote for it...

while holding my nose.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

32. wonder how i ended up on a parallel Bizarro Earth

as much as i love nader, it's not going to happen. he'd pick larouche before ralph

[R3dD0g]

33. Same as when pigs fly! Grab a steel umbrella. n/t

[CreekDog]

36. If he wants to go left pick Kucinich, go looney, pick Nader...

I don't like either choice, but Ralph Nader would be a dictator the likes you would not want to see. He would be a truly horrible president. Not only that, he has frequent delusions of grandeur and bouts of meglomania. Are those really the qualities you want in a president?

If it must be a far left progressive, then Kucinich is a much better and more consistent choice.

I should mention that Nader is only progressive on some issues. On race, gender, and many civil rights issues, he has little to say. Any wonder why so few black voters supported him?

[Gore1FL]

37. Rejoice in the fact

that we wouldn't have nader threads anymore.

[fujiyama]

38. Best Post of the Thread

I keep telling myself to just hide all McCain/Nader threads.

[dad]

39. no shit buddy!

I love Nader and have gotten just about sick of all this bashing by you moderates.
