(11,464 posts)and the greatest satisfaction I have against Ralph Nader is that
because of Ralph Nader himself in 2000
never again shall a 3rd party ruin anything for the democratic party
no matter how some might wishin and hopin as Dusty Springfield sang back in the days when the protests
accomplished nothing more than taking down the #1 most liberal president of all time (so liberal some might even say
LBJ was a socialist) and with actions leading to consequences, that move meant the war lasted another what, 5 or 6 years.
from 1968 to 2008 we had 40 wasted years
But the satisfaction is, Ralph Nader in 2000 enabled the two party system more than anyone else in the history of the world.
So I do thank Ralphie for that. I triple dogged dared Ralphie and he took the dare.
hey, wasn't Ralphie the little kid in that Christmas story, he asked knowing the answer in advance.)
Now working to continue the agenda of Barack Obama forever.
And come August, if for some reason Hillary won't run, we now have a viable alternative, and his name is Cory Booker.
Just think what they can do if they both run on the same ticket. Hillary/Booker 2016. Booker/Michelle 2024.
Michelle/Chelsea 2032.
(btw, to remind folks, just because THEY didn't like it when Bush did it, NEVER MEANT THEY were for Obama or Hillary.
(some probably were for that $400 haircut guy Edwards, who had a whisper campaign around the title of that older James Earl Jones movie. (and it wasn't Star Wars or the Lion King).
BTW, Willie Nelson said it best in his song "Still is still moving to me".
Sometimes moving forward is still.
(and to paraphrase Lionel Richie "I will support Barack Obama's agenda STILL"
.
Thomas Jefferson stated and wrote "All men are created equal". Except, Barack Obama44 was NOT part of the most important founding
fathers statement. And neither was Hillary Rodham Clinton45. Thomas Jefferson, of course, meant every word he said specifically.
No parsing of his words were needed. He meant what he said.\
Wow, as somebody's signature here states (from memory may not be exact) I love waking up each morning and President Obama
is the President to add-(and his agenda goes on forever and ever)
President Obama is the Ocean, and not just a wave.
