Nader announces run for President By hackthis | February 24, 2008 WASHINGTON (AP) - Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will “shift the power from the few to the many.” www.breitbart.com/article...0&show_article=1&catnum=0

Looks like the controllers felt like they needed another diversion from the sick circus of the current (s)Election cycle. Ralphie is a wholly owned, false flag bearing, scum bucket. I guess the dead fish that they are ramming down our throats are beginning to stink a little bit too much so it's time for the "Pat Paulsen" look-alike contestants. Next up is Pat Buchanan.

Nader is our modern day Norman Thomas.
I remember a steaming, irritated Nader when an interviewer gushed over Lieberman because a Jewish candidate was running for president! Nader is Jewish, but, he obviously didn't believe it would benefit him to point that out only to have the blond bimbo say "Well, I mean, we have a MAJOR PARTY candidate who is Jewish!" It wouldn't do to marginalize himself not once but twice in the same interview! But, the steam from his collar was quite noticeable. He didn't share the interviewer's excitement about Lieberman. It must have been a bitch to want to say, "Well, Hell if you want to vote for a Jew then vote for me, and I'll dismantle the corporate/govt incest that is ruining America!" He was trapped and the interviewer seemed to sense it!
Too many people have noticed that there really are no satisfactory choices, (McCain? Hillary? That colored feller?) so, Ralph is supposed to create the illusion that Americans have lots of choices across the political spectrum. If by some act of fate Ralph actually won, the Supreme Court would then rule that only PUBS or DEMS can be president, and 3rd party votes don't count. It's funny that Nader surfaces again at the same time that Howard Zinn writes a NY Times article where he reminisces about old time lefty issues. The only reason this coverage is allowed is because classic lefties have no chance of garnering popular support, and they pose no threat to the designated hitters. All three are war mongers for Israel, and they won't short the war effort for medicine or child care or any of those things they may claim to stand for. So, it's the same game as previous elections, except that they all had to black out Ron Paul to keep the one person we want away from us. Sometimes I get the feeling that the elections are stage-managed affairs run by psychologists and AD men.
Nader is Arab.
Right. I thought he was a Jew of Lebanese descent, but after this I no longer believe that. You prompted the research and I stand corrected. Thank you.
Spoilsport! ;-)
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things. T. S. Eliot
Nader makes a living by being a gadfly, and the mass media gives him some token coverage because he's a gadfly that isn't worth swatting. If he had any chance of actually winning an election with his anti-corporation and anti-war message, he'd be blacked out and smeared just like the rightwing opposition. Instead, they condescendingly give him a few minutes of airtime.
On "Meet the Press" this morning, Ralph Nader got in this hit at the taboo on criticizing Israel, and at Barack Obama for taking a pro-Israel position for political gain: "I give you the example, the Palestinian-Israeli issue, which is a real off the table issue for the candidates. So don't touch that, even though it's central to our security and to, to the situation in the Middle East. He [Obama] was pro- Palestinian when he was in Illinois before he ran for the state Senate, during he ran--during the state Senate. Now he's, he's supporting the Israeli destruction of the tiny section called Gaza with a million and a half people. "He doesn't have any sympathy for a civilian death ratio of about 300-to-1; 300 Palestinians to one Israeli. He's not taking a leadership position in supporting the Israeli peace movement, which represents former Cabinet ministers, people in the Knesset, former generals, former security officials, in addition to mayors and leading intellectuals. One would think he would at least say, 'Let's have a hearing for the Israeli peace movement in the Congress,' so we don't just have a monotone support of the Israeli government's attitude toward the Palestinians and their illegal occupation of Palestine." If he didn't do this, Obama would go from being media golden boy to pariah in a second. And he could kiss not only a shot at the Presidency, but his Senate Seat, goodbye too.
Nader introduced his statement on Israel as being an example of Obama's selling out: "But his [Obama's] better instincts and his knowledge have been censored by himself."
Ralph Nader enters the race
One cannot knock his Iraq stance.
Funny, but I had some inkling of the same suspicion. Must just be puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure coincidence that Ralphie decided to throw his hat into the ring at this time. Sure, coincidence - it just has to be. Doesn't it?

Nader's bid will change US race
Well, at least them "good lifelong Demikrats and Ku Klux Klanicrats" who either don't wanna vote for a "culert boy" or an arguably female candidate will have another "choice". I'm betting that Ralph will siphon more votes from Mayor Berry...I mean, Sen. Obama than from Hillabeast. What say youze guyz?
Nader is a POS.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Well, "The American Dream" means different things to different interests.
I overheard 3 good ol' boys at breakfast this morning at a nice breakfast buffet. Two were going to vote for Nader. One guy made it clear he would not be voting for Hillary and he said he would never vote for Obama. He did not even mention McCain. So I suspect you are correct, he will take away from the Democrats a bit, but not enough, IMO, to give McCain a win.
