Nader Is Running Again

The Whistler • February 24, 2008

The man whose highest-profile electoral accomplishment was torpedoing Al Gore’s campaign against Bush in 2000 is taking another shot at the White House this year.

WASHINGTON – Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will “shift the power from the few to the many.”
Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties due to a prolonged Iraq war and a shaky economy. The consumer advocate also blamed tax and other corporate-friendly policies under the Bush administration that he said have left many lower- and middle-class people in debt.

Business-friendly policies and Bush’s tax cuts have left people in debt?
Riiigghhht.
Anyway, with the Democrat front runner being viewed as a messiah by most on the left – and given that he sits to the left of Ted Kennedy in terms of America’s most liberal Senators – there doesn’t seem to be a lot of need for an even-further-left nut job like Nader this campaign season.

Our token Socialist laments:

Democrats suck, Republicans suck worse, which spells doom either way.

If you really believe that, slit your wrists now and be done with it.

That sound you just heard? Dem heads exploding around the country.

No, that would be the echo inside your empty head hearing your own clinically insane delusions. Nader will have no effect whatsoever on this election, other than to remind the voters how lousy Republicans are at governance. The Republicans are going to get thumped and thrashed and beaten down into the small minority they deserve to be in, and the Democrats, who are really spineless pieces of shit who will never push a socialist agenda in any serious way, will get to be the corporate puppets for the next few election cycles. Super majority in the senate, increased seats in the house, and Obama as president.

Democrats suck, Republicans suck worse, which spells doom either way.

Socialist,

So did you really think your way through all of that drivel, or do you honestly believe that the super majority of Americans want true socialism? Or is this just what your college professors have poured into your skull for later regurgitation?
