Don't Run Ralph
Here's an interesting Flash that points out how Nader cost Gore the election, and asks him not to run. Ralph does stand for a lot of good things, but as his last campaign showed:
1. He can't even come close to winning.
2. He can draw enough liberal Democrat votes to swing a close election.
You might not agree entirely with whoever gets the democratic nomination, however, ask yourself this: do you agree with them more than you agree with Bush? Because a vote cast in protest in this election is a vote cast for Bush.
Posted at February 19, 2004 11:44 AMthe first week of february, i heard melissa block interview nader on npr about his potential joining in the race.
i very much wish for a day when we leave this rich boys club of a two party system we have.
however, when nader responded to people who have publically asked him not to run by charging them with censorship... i realize he's got too many screws loose for my comfort.
("It's a marvelous demonstration by liberals, if you will, of censorship...")
i love how block tries to call him on this lunacy, but he just goes on.
