2. I wouldn't watch either, even if a gun were held to my head! Both are egomaniacs! |

13. He's thinking of running because we need a third party and people |

such as Hightower won't. BUT! he needs to gather volunteers, and that might be a daunting task. He's fed up with the lot of them, as we are, but he surely isn't the answer to our problems (I said that, not him ;) ). Claimed Gore had the election stolen (though he lost TN), and it wasn't his fault. 'Politics has decayed'. Brought up Eisenhower's speech from 1953. He's still yabbering.
Edit to add: he dissed Obama, claiming his speeches are getting worse, he wants to increase the military. Now talking about Bloomberg; he could break the habit of hereditary voting. Exciting possibilities, bring out more people. More voices, more choices. Thinks Bloomberg will get the required 15%. Doesn't think Clinton has the political fortitude of Bill, all she does is pander. Not exactly courageous. Now talking about his book. End of story.

15. Spoke about the 2000 elections |
|
candidly as he did last week, Gore won and Bush was given the WH from Tallahassee to the Supremes; hates Hillary -calls her a coward, thinks she's bad for America - corporate democrat; likes Kucinich. Speaks about the state of the system - stinks.
Still undecided about 2008. Tweety is on his own Hillary hating agenda - said Nader said Nixon was better than Hillary. Nader correctly replied that he did not say that.
Now discussing his politics v Bloomberg. Says Bloomberg is running. Prefers Bloomberg to Hillary. Says Hillary doesn't have the political fortitude of her husband. Now speaking about values.
PHEW!!

2008 may be the strangest year for a presidential election that this nation has ever witnessed.

7. I had to leave the room |
|
But I'll bet you anything he'll find his niche of supporters. Because, in the end, we have learned very little since the year 2000.

11. Don't Need To. Before I Just Came Down To My Computer, I Just Got Done Watching Nader In My Toilet. |
|
So it probably would be a quite similar experience. I'll opt out.

12. I am, but, God, I hate him. |

"The path to hell is paved with good intentions" - Whether or not his intentions were good, he has certainly brought the world closer to hell by what he did in 2000. The idea that he would do it again, that he learned NOTHING from the 2000 election - :nuke:

22. I really think It didn't matter how many votes Nader got in Florida |
|
The GOP fixed that election so that Gore would not win and that includes all the people who voted for Nader.

23. I disagree. They didn't have it that fixed. If they did then it wouldn't have |
|
come down to 537 votes.
If the GOP had it that fixed then Gore wouldn't have won the popular vote by half a million votes. They would have gave Bush the popular vote. What would the popular vote total have been if the NY and California and Texas Nader voters had instead voted for Gore? It would have been much bigger.
It mattered - a lot.
I can understand people justifying things to themselves because it makes it easier to live with and I don't begrudge them that but I sure respect Michael Moore a lot more for actual acknowledging that supporting Nader was a mistake and learning from it in 2004 and 2008.

24. I agree that Nader running wasn't a good thing. |
|
But I was referring only to the Florida votes. Again, Gore won Florida. Am I just disillusioned, crazy, trying to come up with some excuse to make me feel better? No.

Nixon had a better health care plan, signed EPA into existence and was for D.C. voting rights among other higher moments. Some walks down memory lane are eye openers when you get into the details.
I hadn't read Nader's assessment of Hillary Clinton in Politico. Oh, my.
I didn't vote for him but I'm not angry with him. He's not responsible for certain blow jobs nor the Florida "shenanigans", IMO.

18. How old is he now -- 100? |
|
Don't you think since they have an age requirement, where you have to be at least of an age to run for president, there should be a cut off age to be president. That would throw Nader out of the mix right off. HE IS TOO DAMN OLD AND SO IS MCCAIN...Now I am not against age...I am 75.

21. Right now he's on CNN (4:40 pm CDT). |

He looks like he's been stored in mothballs.
