A vote for Nader is a vote against me. Day three of my campaign.
I have been running for President for three days now as a candidate for my own Most Progressive Party, and have yet to hear from Nader any response from the planks where I far outdo him. Let's review:

- full employment
- complete lifting of our dependance from oil within 18 months of inauguration (I am becoming more optimistic that it can be done within 12 months, but the firmest commitment I can make is 18 at this point)
- peace in Iraq and throughout the middle east
- an end to terrorism without increased surveillance or loss of civil liberties
- full free education

A vote for Nader is basically a sell-out contract, and a vote against any of these platforms, when you could have voted for me instead. There is no excuse not to take the Most Progressive stand this election.

Camejo has said that he'll return any Republican contributions, and yet we haven't seen that. I, however, have already returned any and all contributions from Republicans. In fact, I refused any such contributions outright.

1. LoZo is one bad MoFo!
Nader has been exposed! Why is he keeping LoZo off the ballot? Does he fear democracy?

2. Yes, you are right.
Not only is there no excuse to vote for Nader instead of me, there is no excuse to be petitioning for Nader instead of me.

13. It's easy to joke around...
...but what's the difference between the Republicans denying Democrats an honest election in 2000 and the Democrats denying Nader an honest election in 2004?

To my eyes, none.

3. your platform seems a little half-baked
I hear you on Nader, but I'd like to hear how you would accomplish your goals.

4. Let's hear from Nader first.
I'd like to hear how he'd accomplish his.

10. And his supporters are fully baked too
They're not far left, they're far out! Absolutely stupid.



ie Patrick Toomey of PA (He's not far right, he's far out!)

7. You can't make the U.S. independant of the Middle-East oil in 18 months
I don't see any way in hell that would be possible.

8. 18 months after my inauguration - you read it right, sir.
And that's all oil, not just middle-east.

Basically, if you don't vote for it, you don't want it.

9. That's some really twisted logic
"Basically, if you don't vote for it, you don't want it."

What's the point in wanting it AND voting for it when there's no way in hell anyone can deliver it?

11. Same thing goes with voting for Nader.
And basically, if you vote for Nader, there is no reason not to vote for me instead.

14. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between you and Nader!
Neither one of you appears willing to even bring up the subject of LSD legalization, let alone the more obvious issue of porn subsidies for straight white males under 50. I may as well stay home :cry: :silly: :cry: .

Here's a new Nader-bash.
