Nader statement on Bush speech
Love him or hate hi, he has a way with words:

"George W. Bush’s speech last night was an expanding, gaseous effusion
widening further the distance between his words and his contradictory
deeds. An Orwellian nighmare. This Administration operates a deception
labeled “to describe it is to do it.” Unfortunately, the grim reality
cannot be cloaked with empty words and phrases fed by a teleprompter."

1. Blah blah fuck you Ralph Nader
Put your GOP granted money where your mouth is you phony asshole. If you really believed your own words you'd tell your GOP donors to screw off and you'd play kingmaker with Kerry.

4. Harsh words
I would hope that your assessment of Zell Miller would be even more vitriolic; otherwise, I'd say you lack perspective.

5. Oh you mean the Dixiecrat?
What needs to be said about him? we all know exactly where he stands. See the difference between him and Ralph Nader is that Zell comes right out and says that he hates the Democrats now and is pissed that they don't stand where they used to and he's still furious that Johnson "sold them out" when he voted for the Civil Rights Act.

But see Ralph here is spreading the same bullshit lies about Kerry as the Bush Administration is saying Kerry is a corporate lacky, agrees with Bush on the war, he is clearly trying to sabotage Kerry's candidacy while trying to play the good guy who's gonna speak for all of us and bring real change while at the same time accepting help from interests that are strongly Pro Bush.

So put simply, Zell's an ass, but what makes me more mad at Nader is that at least Zell isn't trying to fool anybody and he knows it, he does everything but admit that he's a Dixiecrat who longs for the days of segregation while Ralph completely sells out the progressive cause to appease the very corporate masters he claims to rail against.

7. Quit your whining.
You guys are going to cost yourselves the election with this crazy Nader obsession.

Go to the bank, withdraw some dough, and buy yourself a clue.

2. So why are you still in the race !

He really does have a way with words.
He is just too self serving for my taste.
I keep praying that he will come to his senses near election day.

It would be great if he would drop out now but I'll take it in time for election day.

While he is at it,he did to wax his words then and say: I believe that my mental state has been severely altered by drugs. I just got out of rehab today and realized that my name was still on the ballot.

I am sorry for causing any problems. Do not vote for me. I am a finished fool. Vote for Kerry!"

Then he should actively campaign for Kerry.


Dreaming , I know I'm dreaming.

3. Well, hell, at least he's bashing Bush instead of Kerry.
It's an improvement. Just so long as he doesn't turn around and say that there's no difference between Bush and Kerry.

6. Way with words? He's full of puffery and a few "contradictory deeds"
himself.

Thus I say:

"Ralph Naders hypocritical response to George W. Bush’s speech last night was an expanding, gaseous effusion widening further the distance between his words and his contradictory deeds."
