Run, Ralph, Run!

Look who's thinking about getting into the race. Hey, I voted for him in 2000.

I hope that Bloomberg gets in, too. With Hillary!/Obama, McCain, Nader and Bloomberg in the race, the so-called liberal vote would be split four ways, perhaps leaving an opening for an actual conservative to run on an independent ticket.

You voted for Ralph Nader and you make fun of Ron Paul?

Nader is Unsafe in any Election. Plain and simple. And so are his long time supporters.

I didn't say I was insane enough to want him to be president.

Then why vote for him? I'm puzzled.

I was voting in Wyoming, which was a lock for Bush. So I could vote however I wanted with no fear that it would affect the outcome of the Wyoming electoral vote. If Nader got one percent of the popular vote, he (as a candidate of the Green Party) would have been eligible for federal campaign funding in 2004, which would have made him even more of a pain in the ass for the Dems.

Jardinero: give it up. In Rand's worldview, we're "Brownshirts" - never mind that the same type of demands for freedom and accountability were 'perpetrated' by the Sons Of Liberty and tea-tossers during the American Revolution. Rand's worldview is Tory. Ron Paul is the last American conservative standing. Like it or not.

Don't give up your day job to be the Great Kreskin. A mind reader, you're not.

I didn't call all Ron Paul supporters brown shirts--just the people who abused that poor woman. If you're one of them, then I guess you're right, it is what I think of you. But if the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.

Oh, and work on your logic and reading comprehension, in addition to your ESP.
