(11,464 posts)It is the single lie of Ralph Nader that hurt the most.
Nader and his green ites hate the corporate personhood
Bush nominated Alito and Roberts
Alito and Roberts gave us corporate personhood
Without them, no corporate personhood, this is perhaps the one thing everyone knew Alito would be for prior to his being confirmed
Gore would NOT have given us Alito and Roberts
Gore would not have given us corporate personhood
Therefore how in hell was Bush and Gore the same, when Bush gave Nader corprate personhood because Nader gave Bush the election?
BTW, of ALL the Presidents ever winning office, the Clinton's are the ones with the LEAST amount of assets of all of them. They never even owned their own house before that, having both given their entire adult life to public service and NOT ever been part of the corporate world.
Bill & Hillary Clinton and Community Organizer Barack Obama are indeed the singular people most connected with the common person than any of the others.
LBJ comes close with his lower middle class upbringing.
Surely you jest if thinking JFK and FDR were paupers and had no ties to the rich.
Since the revolution was won in 2008 (peacefully), why would anyone want a discontinuation of that and the only way that would happen would be a republican president winning.
Like the lunacy of ditching LBJ for a candidate that was a great guy, had great ideals yet in no way was going to win (Eugene McCarthy and HHH) so we got Nixon instead.
Same in 1972 with McGovern and Eagleton.
A good politician would never have let Eagleton get near the VP position, same as a good politician in 2008 would not have picked Sarah Palin, and thankfully a GREAT politician did NOT let John Edwards get the VP or any position, being that the so called Edwards being a man of the people(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,because all men of the people get $400 trims on their ultra greasy personna hair).
Only 44 numbered Presidents(43 men as one is counted twice GC) and zero women in a country that has 52% of the 320 million being women.
If not Hillary would gladly support Michelle, Elizabeth and Janet Napolitano.
However, only Hillary is guaranteed to defeat all the republican nominees including Jeb.
The others probably are guaranteed to defeat some of them, but not Jeb or Christie.
Give the party another McGovern or McCarthy, and the republican will end up wining 300 electoral votes. And i loved the people that McCarthy and McGovern were, but come on,
no one actually thought either would or could win.
Not to mention someone like Bernie Sanders attained office with the help of his friends like
Charles Schumer and Sanders just yesterday said Harry Reid was doing a great job in his words (not exact quote, but parsed out, hell yes, he was backing Harry).
Dreams are nice. But not reality in the world of politics.
IMHO on this beautifully snow-in morning here with the temperatures below freezing.
But any day that I wake up and Barack Obama is still president, is a glorious day indeed.
The world is a much better place for it.
So why anyone would not want that, well, they are free to argue the point on this world wide google searched board.
I don't see any other person in the nation more in tune with the common person than President Obama. Especially not one who could actually win office with a separate agenda opposite the Presidents.
The President has rebuilt the solid foundation of a home and say the basement and first floor.
You don't eight years later building a new foundation.
What you do is work on the second floor and then the attic and roof.
As there is nothing wrong with the new foundation in place since 1/20/2009
