Anyone who support Ralph Nader Candidacy on this board is my political enemy.

[Perky]

Poll question: Anyone who support Ralph Nader Candidacy on this board is my political enemy.

Anyone on this board who supports his candidacy needs to get a clue. He has a right to run. You have a right to vote for him. But dear "liberal" there is simply too much at stake with this coming election to vote for chronic whiners.

You come here with pro-Nader sentiment. You better be wearing a flak jacket and asbestos skivvies because you will be flamed.

1. The only viable thrid-party candidate...

Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey (born 1964-04-02 in Elizabeth, New Jersey as John Albert Sharkey) is a self-proclaimed satanist, "sanguinary vampyre", Hecate Witch and professional boxer as well as wrestler (under the name Rocky "Hurricane" Flash) and perennial candidate for public office.

He has filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for President of the United States twice as an Independent candidate (in 2004<1> and in 2008<2>) and for Congress in at least three states -- his home State of New Jersey (1999-2000, Republican)<3>, Indiana (Reform Party, 2000)<4> and Florida (2001-02, Republican)<5>. In 2006, he ran for governor of Minnesota.

It is difficult to pin down definitive facts relating to Sharkey, partly because of his numerous aliases, but also due to his authorship, over time, of many autobiographical websites which have include conflicting and unsubstantiated assertions of fact. A Federal judge in Indiana has remarked about Sharkey that "his view of reality and attendant behavior is nothing less than bizarre."<6> Sharkey claims that this was because Sharkey had previously "cursed out" the same judge.<7>

Philosophically, Sharkey professes a hatred for the Christian Supreme Being, God the Father, but claims that he has no disrespect for followers of the aforementioned. He says that this hatred began when his grandmother died, and fully consumed him in 2004. He claims that he became an angry and violent person as a result of his grandmother's death. However, Sharkey maintains that he is a religious pluralist and professes respect for all creeds as well as the US Constitution. His Minnesota gubernatorial campaign slogan was "A New Deal for Minnesota," and his 2008 Presidential campaign slogan is "The New Deal and Hope for America," reflecting his professed respect of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He has proposed impaling "any one found committing an act of terrorism in Minnesota"<8>, and advocates many additional unorthodox approaches to crime and other public issues.

Sharkey lived for a time in Florida under his wrestling name of Rocky Hurricane Flash. While there, he also used the assumed name Kathleen Sharkey and claimed that this Kathleen Sharkey was either his half-sister or his wife. He filed reports with the Federal Election Commission which listed Kathleen Sharkey as a member of his campaign staff. Eventually, a letter was filed with the Federal Election Commission, purportedly by Kathleen Sharkey, which implied that he had died.<9> Documents from a lawsuit filed in the Indianapolis District Court mention that Sharkey attempted to commit suicide. It has been suggested instead that he attempted to fake his own death.<10>

4. Folks on this board saying that they're intrigued by this guy and his "honesty" in 5, 4, 3, 2...

[datasuspect]

13. this man is our only hope . . .

[Perky]

2. I would have no problem if Nader went through the democratic

or republicaln party primary process. to to stand on thse sideline and snipe and whine and then get in without going through any vetting process is treacherous conceit.

[bemildred]

3. I don't give a poop. Not even an old dried out dog poop.

Nader wars are a waste of time.

5. The more candidates and parties the better.

It's called democracy.

[Perky]

6. No it fracture the electorate

and is allows the Republican party which has a motre solidified base to continue ite reign of terror.

7. Humbug.

The people who are likely to vote for Nader are available to the Democrats. Instead of forever chasing the "moderates" they could expend some energy attracting the left. If they don't, then they are liable for the consequences.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson to Francis Hopkinson, 1789.

"Were parties here divided merely by a greediness for office,...to take a part with either would be unworthy of a reasonable or moral man." --Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, 1795.

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." --John Quincy Adams

17. The only thing better than a two-party system ...

... is a one-party system.

:sarcasm:

9. I don't see the point of him running again

He's lost badly two times now. He's done nothing since the last election to make me think he stands any chance at election. He could have run for either house of congress. There is more than one way to help change the country politically. Yet Nader keeps going for the big chair. Why waste a vote on someone that has a proven record of not being able to come close to winning a campaign. I don't buy the voting with my conscience argument. My conscience says I'm a dope if I vote fore someone that's run twice now and lost badly both times and yet has done nothing to make him MORE desirable a candidate for a third time.

10. STFUUenmeyenabler.

Stupid, divisive crap posted here,...every damn day.

But,...that's just my opinion.

[trumad]

11. Fuck Nader

[Perky]

12. yep

[Matariki]

14. Nader aside, there's *always* 'too much at stake' in 'this' coming election

Whenever 'this' coming election happens to be.

I can't help but think the body politic would be healthier with more than a two party system. And perhaps proportional representation as well.

[stevedeshazer]

15. Incomprehensible

I request understandable language.

[LeftyMom]

16. I'm sure the Nader people are shaking in their boots.

:shrug:

[PassingFair]

18. Don't you have enough enemies? n/t

[Bonobo]

19. I support Nader's positions.

I support his positons.

I support his right to run.

I support his effort to challenge either the Dems to do better or the progressives to take back their party.

Also, your bluster sounds like that of many of the cowards who make empty challenges over the ethernet. Give it a rest. It is rude and embarassing.
