Should Kerry pick Nader as VP???

[The Sushi Bandit]

Lets talk about the pros and cons...

(I think Nader is on Kerry's list)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. NO, NO, NO, HELL NO

It's not even up for discussion! The most I'd accept is Secy of Labor or EPA Chief.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. What about AG or Sec'y of Commerce?

I could see him doing well in those areas too.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Not AG, perhaps Commerce.

There are much better AG candidates (ie Spitzer)

[djg21]

29. Not even dog catcher.

Nader is pondscum. Any dem who even considers appointing him to any position in an administration loses my vote automatically!

If he wants to serve in an administration, he should join the party and get behind it's candidates.

[Cheswick2.0]

2. Intentional flame bait

[The Sushi Bandit]

8. This is a Discussion Forum!

and it is a reasonable question!

[Cheswick2.0]

22. bullshit

It's intentional flame bait.

[QC]

3. Why not just concede to Bush right now

and save the trouble of campaigning?

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. honestly, I can't see Nader saying yes. But if he did

I would be fine with it. He would pin Cheney to the floor in the debates.

[olddem43]

16. We don't have to worry about debates -

Kerry will make Bush look like the babbling idiot that he is.

[tom_paine]

NO!

[sui generis]

6. I don't think there are any pros

He has already demonstrated a level of cynicism and bitterness and just plain wrong-headedness about politics in general. He's deluded, and even now he is again on a vanity-campaign. I don't even think he'd make a good EPA chief because he's NOT REALLY a green advocate. I really like that he's confrontational on some pet issues of mine, but I don't think his methods are wise and often hurt his case in the long run. We don't need more incompetence. It's time for that old dude to retire and write another memoire.

[mindfulNJ]

7. ooh...let me think....

no.

[mstrsplinter326]

9. YES YES YES

OF course not, how can you appease corporate sponsors with ralphy as number 2??

I can feel the temperature rising in this thread quickly!!

Pick Dennis -get the liberal vote without the stigmatism

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Oh yes, Dennis all the way!

[meti57b]

10. nader has no common sense. He would be a danger to the nation.

15. Did someone not get their coffee this morning?

Ease up a bit, willya?

[Forkboy]

20. He's like this everyday

:shrug:

[Solly Mack]

13. lolololololololololololololol oh gawds..lolololololololol

Sorry..I was just imagining the tone of some of the threads around here should something as incredibly unlikely as that were to happen.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Goodness, I'm cackling...lolololololololololololol

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee...hehehehehehehehehehehe..Can you imagine the face contortions? lolololololololol


Sorry...composed.

(snicker)

[Vickers]

14. Hmmmm....lemme check something first.

*twists around to look behind me*

Well, I have determined there are no pigs flying out of my butt, so I don't think this will happen.

[West Coast Democrat]

18. Only if he wants to lose big...

[ClassWarrior]

19. No, if Kerry's gonna go that way...

...he should pick Kucinich. Nader sounds like a good candidate for Sec'y of Commerce.

(Take that, Don Evans you worthless cowboy hat!)

[donhakman]

21. NADER would be LIFE INSURANCE

like Cheney is to W

[morgan2]

23. it'd get him my vote

[Oddman]

24. Nader is NOT on his list . . .

as a matter of fact he is the furthest thing from a potential running mate.

Gary Coleman would be a better running mate.

SpongeBob SquarePants would be a better running mate.

Lurch would be a better running mate.

Lassie would be a better running mate!

Nader . . .Puke . . .


Thank god there are morans who
will still vote for me.

[Forkboy]

25. "Lets talk about the pros and cons..."

So why didn't you?

[The Sushi Bandit]

27. One PRO is people Trust that he is on their side

for years he has fought "Big Business"

He has conviction!

[IronLionZion]

30. oh yeah?

He's on his own damn side and has hoodwinked a lot of people. He's rich bastard with millions in stocks. Not to mention the fact that he is helping the Republicans and they are financing his campaign.

[The Sushi Bandit]

31. Why do you resent him so much??

He has done so many good things for consumers.
Or is this a conspiracy thing?

[IronLionZion]

32. because he's a fraud

It's great that he got seatbelts in cars but he is hurting America now. How can he pretend to be anti-corporation when that is how he made his fortune! If he was really intent on change, then he would be with us not against us in this election.

[hiphopnation]

26. What makes you think he's on the list?

Got proof?

[IronLionZion]

28. It would guarantee that Kerry will not be assasinated nor impeached

but he won't be elected either

Howard Dean could take back most of Nader's votes and bring in some independents and fiscal conservatives too. Not to mention the massive grass-roots support and the largest Democratic turnout in history.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. No. But he should pick an anti-war VP.

To, at least, try to offset his pro-war stance. I'd feel a little more comfortable voting for him if he did. And, he'd probably pick up some Nader/Green voters.
