Now the John Edwards has folded…

… the King of All Narcisso-Hypocrites comes lumbering back on stage.

If Nader pulls in enough Democratic votes to give us a Republican victory in November, more power to him.

Then he can get on the next bus back to Has-Been City.

Maybe Ralphie is on Karl Rove’s payroll.

LOL.

Every time I think that the right or the left has locked itself into total unelectability, the other one ups the ante.

I voted for him back in the Paleolithic Era of my political life. It’s hard to believe now, but I actually did it. Being a radical leftist was fun while it lasted.

Nader and Ron Paul have never been seen together in the same room at the same time and yet…

Naderitas and Ronulans have made a non-aligned, non aggression treaty.

The Naderitas promised to share the technological breakthroughs of their bikes in exchange Ronulans promised to not to use their SUV’s to go to the pharmacy.

these negotiations take time ;)

He’s obviously a complete narcissist, but hypocrite? He’s no John Edwards or Al Gore, if that is what you’re referring to. He lives a spartan, even puritan lifestyle, has no friends in Washington, and plugs away year after year with his causes and groups. Whatever you say about him, he believes in what he is doing, and what he says.

As I tell every Naderite I run into: nothing he has done in presidential politics has done anything to move the country towards his goals.
Very much the opposite. What he should have done, but didn’t, was run in the Democratic primaries against Clinton in 1996, then at the height of his triangulation efforts. If he had, then perhaps one law that really does threaten free speech – the Telecommunications Act of 1996 -never have been signed.

The link shows that Nader is the philosophical US equivalent of Pol Pot.
And Markus is a doofus to still believe and assert that Nader lives ascetically in DC– He has never released his income tax data. Why is that, Markus? Nothing to hide, huh?

cf. Barry Dauphin: If I were running the Republican Party, I would do everything I could to encourage Nader to run.
