203. I am blaming Nader for not putting the group before himself.

Jul 2012

He saw how tight the numbers were, he knew it would be close. If it were me in that position, I'd strike a deal with my closest ally, negotiate for a cabinet position or "kitchen cabinet" task force in order to be inside the tent pissing out, as LBJ would say, and urge my voters to get out and work their asses off for the ally.

So fuck Ralph Nader. I'm tired of hearing from him. He is a petty little scold, a "do as I say, not as I do" attention-seeker.

The point isn't what is "legal," the point is, why would I listen to an asshole who is SO selfish that he'd fuck society for his own anxiously-sought-after self-aggrandizement? If he couldn't see that a) He had no chance of winning; and b) That there was a real difference between Bush and Gore and Bush would be a disaster; then I think the guy is pretty damn stupid. So, if the guy is stupid, why do I want, or need, to hear the pontificating whining of that cheap-ass millionaire who plays poor (while investing in an anti-union corporation) in an effort to con his acolytes?

He was given an opportunity to guide the course of history, but all he could think about was himself.

He doesn't ever support Dems; he criticizes them. And who does this benefit? The Rethugs. pnwmom Jul 2012 #232

He's even harder on Republicans than he is on Dems. mattclearing Jul 2012 #244

Saying every Nader voter would have voted for Gore just doesn't make sense Chisox08 Jul 2012 #466

They never talked like Nader and invested like Bush, though. Nadar did exactly that. nt MADem Jul 2012 #344

Right, they talk *and* invest like Bush. Marr Jul 2012 #358

So, you're saying "Bullshit the stooges with progressive talk/invest like a Republican" is better? MADem Jul 2012 #362

Will you stop calling everyone a Nader supporter, for Christ's sake? Marr Jul 2012 #400

Ralph Nader is not a politician. He's a tool of the GOP. Politicians win the occasional contest. MADem Jul 2012 #402
