Oh sweet jeebus. REALLY? REALLY? Is anyone STILL that f-ing deluded?!

Nader better not fuck up this election for us. Please don't be stupid people.

Can't stand the competition?

Get out of the democracy!

At the very least, Naders VP is very hot.

Are you really all that worried that people will flee from the oratorical splendor of Barak Koresh and embrace an alternative to the group think??

Do you have that little confidence in your candidate's ability?

Actually, that poster makes a good point. I mean, it wasn't until just before the campaign that Obama smoked tobacco. Wake up, sheeple!

I didn't know Real Change delivered; I've been giving my money to a homeless guy on the corner all this time. Probably at a premium markup. Can I sign up for home delivery on the web, or should I just give the guy my home address and credit card info the next time he tries to sell me a paper?

@6 - You gotta call Nader; he'll bring it by on his bicycle every week.

Do you seriously think WA's electoral votes aren't going to Obama (or the democrat) no matter how you vote?

I'm personally never voting for an evangelical Christian like Bush or Obama or McCain, so I'll express my opinion by voting for a 3rd party candidate who is sane.

no, but i do have confidence that there are just enough idiotic hippies to potentially fuck things up.

after all, this is a country with enough idiots in it to vote in Reagan, Bush I and Bush II...

and "Crash" won for best picture.

@8. So that means Nader's out. Who will you be voting for?

False dilemma. Whether Obama will deliver "real change" is an open question; on the other hand it's 100% certain that Nader won't, since he'll never get elected. The choice is clear.

So you all support democracy, as long as it's for the guy you like?

Thanks, Ralph, for the 2-trillion-dollar Iraq War, for the thousands of U.S. casualties, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties, the drain on the budget, the erosion of civil liberties, the "Office of Faith Based Initiatives," the Department of "Homeland Security," and all the other Bush disasters that might have been averted if but for about 12,000 votes in Florida. Thanks a fucking lot, Ralph.

"Idiotic hippies"....oh, they were voting for Obama, but now that Nader is running they will vote for him.

Is that how it works?

...or were those idiotic hippies going to skip your exercise in electoral masturbation and not vote until a someone with a platform based on something more than iambic pentameter decides to run?

Ralph Nader: Jumping the Shark since 2004

Nader is nothing to be afraid of. He won't have any effect. But Naderites are still douchebags and it's fun to piss on them.

But I can't figure out why you even care, patrick. I thought you had decided the whole system is fucked anyway and we're all doomed. Or maybe you're back on your meds and life is looking more like it's worth living. So congratulations on that, anyhoo.

Dim-bulb fucktards like patrick here, who rely on garbage like "Barack Koresh", are not a serious threat to anything at all. Ignore them, and Nader will sink back into the slime that he crawled out of. You don't argue with LaRouchies, do you?

I seem to recall reading something today about comments and personal attacks...and in the past there was someone whining about trolls and how they ruin everything...now, who was that...

maybe I was just hallucinating. I was just trying to find someone else to blame for things that I brought on myself by actually having a viewpoint that differs from the sheep.

I'm off my meds because Nader ran for office. Nader killed Terri Schaivo. Nader forced nancy pelosi to fund the iraq war. Nader forced the democrats to vote for the patriot act.

It's all his fault. Phew! That takes so much pressure off of me.

Naderites are like four-year-olds. They even have the same kind of tantrums when they don't get what they want.

When you show up with remarks like "Barack Koresh", patrick, you forfeit the right to complain about personal attacks (or any fucking thing at all).

thanks for sending that in Will.

(is that Will/HA or Will in 98103 that posted it)?

Oh, and Ralph is a dick.

why would anyone support nader, period?

You are so strong, fnarf.

I'm sure you get the reference. You just don't like it and I'm taking that as a victory.

You can get back to your Obama circle jerk now...sorry to interrupt.

I am going to give it a shot after my bath tonight. Just practice... Who's in?

patrick, being annoying is not that difficult. Saying something of value is not easy, but any loser can be annoying.

At the end of the day, Obama and Hillary supporters are like bickering siblings: Yes they fight like cats and dogs, but they know they have each other's backs in the face of outside opposition...

Nader supporters on the other hand, are the mildly retarded half-brother who makes inappropriate comments and pees in the corner.

I for one would like to thank Ralph Nader for racking up more than $40,000 US in debt for each and every adult citizen of the United States of America.

Thanks!

(p.s. can you do the same for our "allies" in Saudi Arabia now?)

I suppose if your grip on reality is tenuous at best, picking someone whose grip is equally tenuous is the logical thing to do. Ralph Nader -- so deluded he picked Matt Gonzalez as his running mate. Sheesh.

I'd like to thank the democrats for their sharp political tactics and ablility to FAIL at beating a mentally retarded sock puppet. Twice. Nader's voters should not have even mattered. If you can't landslide a Bush on election day, you have bigger problems than a fucking third party canidate.

Don't scare them, Jeremy. They are still trying to figure out how to blame others for their own failures.

Democrats = alcoholics

@32 and so forth - I've been laughing out loud at the absurdist theater that Raplh Nader has become. He's not a threat to democracy, the more the merrier. I just love how opportunistic he is to jump in at this point. Not to be cynical, but I don't really see any candidates who would really be in line with all that he talks(ed) about so why wait. Honestly the first time around, he was just too shady for me and he feels a bit shady this time to. I love a good fair democratic fight - doesn't mean I can't critique the opponents who deign to enter the ring.
