Poor Ralph Nader.

[snayk]

He's got nothing.

[RedSkunk]

I would of cared in '92, '96, or '00. In fact, that's how long my household has supported and voted for Nader.

This election is too important for Nader, however.

Well, it's not like I was going to vote anyway (being a 16 year old Canadian - though I have dual citizenship meaning I am American as well).

Ralph Nader is a joke.

[FUNKbrs]

HEY! I voted for Nader, fuckers!

If I could have voted, I would have voted for him as well.

[RedSkunk]

You call him a joke, and then say you would of voted for him five minutes later?

This would be true

I'm glad you wasted your vote on a sure thing.

Couldn't we paint his face to look like a clown? I think it would look good.

I would have voted for him because he is a joke. He makes me laugh.

Well, that stoner deserves it. >:(

[witeshark]

In a way we can argue that he is a better leader. But no one can take that past the fact that he cannot collect the votes to be a meaningful candidate

[SeizureDog]

Green party kicks ass. I wish it would become a more viable option instead of an *ahem* throw away vote.

[witeshark]

Yeah too bad all we have is

[Oro]

Hehehe. 0 Electoral Votes for Nader! Who would have thunk it

I thought he'd get Florida, too...

I kinda feel sorry for you Americans, having basically a two teir system. Limited choice, crappy candidates. Isn't it kind of ironic that the leftist Democrats are madder at Nader than the Bush camp? Perhaps if people didn't think that they HAD to vote for either Bush or Kerry, then maybe Nader (who wants to create a good, sustainable, inhabitable world for our younger generation, which is, make no mistake, no joke) would stand a chance to do some actual politicing...

Umm, wasn't the Honorable George W. Bush like all into cocaine and alcohol until he "found God"?

Um no. Not really. They've only brought up Ralph Nader when the news networks asked them too.

[DrkBlueXG]

Ralph Nader is, IMO, the best choice to be the president.

Don't worry about Nader he'll be back next election and the next election, he'll keep running till the earth explodes....And I think it is a good thing he isn't getting a lot of votes, even though I agree with him on a lot of his views, but this election cannot be a thrid party election. GO NADER!!!

[BigBoulette]

You say poor Ralph Nader, but does anyone know that there was a 4th party? The libertarian party, with... err... what was his name?

[swive]

Ralph Nader is going to die soon. Don't worry.

[InsaneWarlord]

Badnarik.

Nader didn't run on the Green platform, my dim-witted friend.

[subpar]

Ralph Nader got 1%. That's more than any other third party can say this year.

If I were older I would have voted for Nader, for the sake of breaking the two-party system that is ruining our country. Switching between Republican and Democrat isn't enough.

And please tell me how getting 1% of the vote, and no electoral votes, "breaks" the two-party system?

[bambi-206]

I don't think that is what our young friend intended. 1% certainly isn't enough to break the two teir system, but next time it might be 4%, then 6%, then 8%, then 11%, and so on until the Green Party is actually considered a viable choice. If millions of people voted for Nader, that in itself should send a message to the administration that not everyone agrees, and they shouldn't act so strongly without considering the "special interests" of a large chuck of its population...

[bambi-206]

Quite right, they didn't allow him to run as a Green Party candidate, they forced him to run as an independent (where's the freedom in that?), because they wanted to keep him out of the Presidential debates (now, why he'd want to be at those petty name-calling sessions, I don't know...).

The Green Party can choose who to run as their candidate. It's their party, their choice.

because they wanted to keep him out of the Presidential debates (now, why he'd want to be at those petty name-calling sessions, I don't know...).

What are you, stupid? The Green candidate got arrested doing civil disobedience because he wasn't allowed into the debates. Whether or not the Green candidate had access to the debates had nothing to do with how Nader ran. Nader wanted to run in every state, while the Greens wanted to pursue a safe state strategy.

[scramlaz]

Did Nader ever actually conceed in the election yet? It could in theory be possible for the electors to vote for him if he hasn't yet. Which, in theory, could mean Nader could, in theory, win. I'm not sure if I should be hopeful or appauled.
