1. He doesn't get it.

I still think he really is out to do good for the country.

The GOP donations are suspicious.

2. How could he possibly "Not get it"? Dementia?

Just curious.

3. personally, I have no problem

with him. It is the people who vote for him. Those are the people you should be mad at. They are the ones who don't get it. If he wants to run again, I do not care. I won't vote for him. I don't know anyone that would. the people who want to throw away their votes are the ones I care about.

4. "Nader" is the misspelled antonym of "apex."

Draw your own conclusions about synonyms and homonyms.

Disqualifier: Good Man that Ralph. Why did he turn psycho?

[Rationality]

5. A crusader who currently is being funded by those with other intentions

And I have no problem with his running, even though I will not vote for him this time around because I've seen enough of Bush to know better.

But to those who want to rip him down because he's running for President, you need to take a good look at your own party and ask why the Nader supporters are leaving us before you go out and alienate our own base.

6. Nader gets it and

he wants it because there is always more money and members to be brought in when your cause is on the side that is out. Also some people find it more satisfying to 'rail' at things.
