Yeah, that Ralph Nader. I sure hate air bags. And seatbelts! The nerve. Oh, that Freedom of Information Act, the Clean Air Act, and OSHA Safety Standards! Terrible!

The only thing I can say about Nader is that he's a well-intentioned man who may or may not have resulted in GWB getting elected. And while I totally support 3rd party candidates, when (if) it gets down to the wire and they see it's obvious they have no chance of winning they should withdrawal and steer their supporters towards the best candidate who has a chance of winning.

I love the photo! Great caption too!!!

right, blame nader for 2000, because jeb bush being the governor of florida guaranteed that there was no election fraud. yup, no election fraud at all. nope. it's also nader's fault that gore received more votes than bush.

One of the reasons this country is so fucked up is because of the whiner Ralph Nader. That piece of shit destroyed this country because of his original thought, "I am not a dumb fuck because I don't know what the fuck I'm responsible for being a dumb fuck. It's corporate America that is causing me to crash." The only thing positive about his run for president is that perhaps he will be assassinated if elected.
