Running as an Independant?!? The Green Party can get you national fundraising, public funds like in 2000, AND you’re a shoo-in for the nomination!!
Guess the Dems have a right to be pissed, he’s just trying to get his name in the papers. But, I’m now a huge “grassroots” supporter of Nader. I’m going to do all I can to get people to vote for him.
That guy is a two-faced glory seeking fuck-hole of the first order. A one-trick pony who decided he suddenly was an environmentalist when he wanted the Green Party’s assets behind search for relevance. Where was his environmental concern in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s?
Back when Nader was still taken seriously as a consumer advocate and self-appointed Scourge of the Automotive Industry, Mad Magazine ran a series of cartoons looking at various people “when they are at home”, ie: away from the cameras. For example, Castro was shown living the Hefnerian Good Life, with his trademark fatigues hung in the closet.
Actually, I find it to be a good thing for the Greens to not run Nader again.
With third-parties, there’s a risk that they can get too closely tied to a particular, frequent Presidential nominee, causing problems when that nominee is no longer in any shape to run for President.
(if you want examples, look at what happened to the Reform and Socialist Parties.)
He’s saying that the Republicans will spend a lot of money on Nader’s campaign so as to help divide and take away votes from the Democratic nominee. And the more money spent on Nader’s from Republicans will mean the less spent on Bush.
Well, that’s kinda what I figgered. But I immediately dismissed it as being way too far-fetched an assumption. Guess I should never rule out the outrageous when it comes to the convoluted corridors of Reeder’s twisted little mind.
He’s also done a fair amount of other work on behalf of the environment over the “70’s, 80’s and 90’s” You could have probably found it yourself online if you actually cared to before you spout off.
