So who will give Nader the $10 Million he needs to make his run?
Last time it was the Republicans. They're having a hard enough time gnashing their teeth to nubs over McCain's success. Seems like Ralph may explore and come up dry.

I'm not going to waste my time screaming over him. Today is a sad enough day and I'm not up to bothering with expletives. But if the candidates are at all concerned then they better learn how to make a deal. Gore's mistake was that he didn't. And we'd all come out better if our candidates consider his issues - more fair corporate taxes and a higher minimum wage. Not unreasonable issues for the DU I've read over these past years.

From Nader:
"He has harsh words for the leading Democratic candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama, chastising them for failing to advance aggressive plans to tax corporations more fairly, and to fight for a vastly higher minimum wage."

1. he will get his money, pugs will see to that, as for the leading 'dems' making a deal...
don't hold your breath.

your lungs aren't that big.

remember McCain is capped for spending
so there will be plenty of R money looking to make trouble
elsewhere.

2. reply


In 2004, Republicans circulated Nader ballot petitions at Monster Truck rallies in Virgina to "give President Bush a helping hand".

5. Rush Limbaugh?
Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, DU members who refuse to vote for the democratic candidate if THEIR candidate isn't the nominee...

6. Nader runs not to win, but to collect money from republicans and help the republicans.
He's basically an anti-democrat mercenary targeting the gullible.
