Nader—Again?

I have posted about this very thing before he announced his candidacy.   I got lots of response when I poster it on Daily Kos.

 

NO!  NO!  NO!  He announced on NBC’s Meet the Press, but why?  Yes I covered this in a previous post,  but this whole thing deserves much, much scrutiny.  I called him a media whore and nothing has changed my opinion.  What will be his draw?  Will he pull progressives from the Democratic Party?  Questions, questions, nothing but questions.

 

Ok first question to ask is:  How many times does this loser want to lose?  He is a proven loser.  He was a loser when he represented the Green Party and a loser when he was an independent.  He says that the major candidates are not addressing the needs and desires of the American people.  He wants to be the protest candidate, in case your candidate does not get the nomination.  Silly man!  But those things that he says he represents are valid, only he spends little time during the lull between elections trying to bring these to the forefront.

 

Nader says that the major candidates are not really addressing health care or the impeachment thing or taxation on the speculation profits.  Just to mention a few, very few.  Once again, where was he between 2004 and now?  A media whore!  He would not have gotten much press during the lull, so he waits for the chance to become the spotlight.

 

Next question:  Who is he speaking for?  Who does he think will support his bid?  These are good questions.  If for some reason Obama is not the nominee, then there could possibly be a base for him with these disenfranchised voters.  If these voters feel that the Dems have stolen Obama’s nomination there could be room for revenge on the party.

 

In reality, I question his sanity. And an Einstein quote comes to mind.  Nader says that neither party is addressing the needs of the people, but until now where has Nader been?  He says that he decided to run because no one is really speaking for the American people.  I guess his thinking is, better late than never.  He did, however, have a completely forgettable quote, “Dissent is the mother of ascent”. 

 

My assessment of Nader being a media whore stands!
