Ralph Nader's reply to my plea

[dsewell]

A couple of weeks ago I posted this lettter urging Nader to leave the race via the feedback link on his campaign website. Well, today I got my response from the Nader campaign. A form letter in the mail, starting off "Dear Friend, Thank you for your ongoing support for the independent Nader/Camejo ticket." Etc.

Ralph Nader, if you stand for the little people, why don't you LISTEN to them when they address you?

Yeah, yeah, I know, the contact forms on campaign websites are tools to build mailing lists, and the same thing could have happened if I had sent a critical message to Kerry. But Nader is the one claiming to listen. HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO ANYBODY. Grrr.

1. LOL, I am not in the least surprised

the idea that Nader gives a shit about "the little people" has always been complete nonsense. He is a cld irrational idealogue with a grudge against the democratic party.

2. As an idealist who wants only the best for you,

he knows it would be dangerous to listen to you.

3. that's just...beautiful. can I steal it?

I wish I was still that cynical. I'm getting soft in my old age.

4. You can lease it.

I'm torn by Ralph. I'd take him as Prez in a snap
(not that he'd live long enough to take office),
but as a candidate in the world of REALITY as it IS
NOW and in 2000, I can not stand to even listen to
the little man, even when he's speaking the purest
truth that can be spoked.

5. I was getting the same thing from the WH

when I emailed * and told him to "suck my ****, you little punk-assed *****." Which kind of tickled me.

6. Ralph Nader

Just reading your posts makes me want to vote for Nader - I know you are afraid, but democracy is too important to dump on one of the best human beings alive on this planet - shame on all of you!!

[checks-n-balances]

7. "one of the best human beings alive on this planet..." LOL!!!

What's "best" about allowing himself to be used by the GOP so they will win? I say that democracy depends upon an educated and intelligent electorate - not a deluded one. And this election is too important for democracy to throw away a good vote by drinking the Naderade.

You were just kidding anyway, right?

8. I'm all for democracy, and I can think of a lot of great human beings

but it's not "dumping" them to put a priority on dumping BushCo.

Democracy won't be harmed by Ralph failing to get on some ballots.
