Pressure Grows for Nader to Run
NewsMax ^ | 10/22/03 | Limbacher

Posted on 10/22/2003 12:32:37 PM PDT by Tumbleweed_Connection

Nearly one in four voters in a new USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll say the Green Party's Ralph Nader should run for president again in 2004.

Nader expressed surprise and said the numbers showed that "people are looking for alternatives to the Democratic and Republican duopoly."

A Draft Nader organization is setting up shop in all 50 states, and he has asked California to put his name on the Greens' presidential primary ballot for March, USA Today reported today, but he says he won't decide until December whether to jump in.

You can bet that no one wants Nader to run more than ... President Bush and Karl Rove. After all, Ralphie boy torpedoed Al Gore in 2000, just as Ross Perot shot down President George H.W. Bush for Bill Clinton in 1992.

Ralphie will get like 0% of the vote if Howie Dean is nominated

The Brady Bunch won’t support Dean, who (oddly) favors gun rights.

So Ralph will get all forty “Million Mom” votes.

Imagine Election 2K if Ralph Nader had brought suit in FLorida.

Please, oh please, run Nader as a green!

I think I need to sign some petitions and give a couple of bucks to the green party.

I saw a guy wearing a green party shirt while I was counter-demonstrating at an anti-war demo, and yelled to him, "Hey green, thanks for putting Bush in the white house!"

The look on his face was priceless.

Hey, I totally support a strong leftist candidate to split the other "mainstream" Demorats.

Seems kinda wierd calling that sorry group mainstream.

But it was an approach that got the 'Toon in the WH.

Tell ya what --- the Demodogs are splitting themselves --- they need no help from Nader or the Pubbies or anybody else.

Their vapidness is evident to all who don't have blinders on.

"Pressure Grows for Nader to Run"

A little ExLax would relieve that pressure.
