Go to his website, you'd think you were redirected to Amazon.com book of the month club.

Look, Nadar has done some good things but his time has past. He's an old crank, hungry for attention and influence.

If he was really serious about changing the system, why not run for Congress or Senate? Elizabeth Warren is serious about Wall Street corruption and protecting consumers from unscrupulous practices by banks and mortgage lender. So you know what she did, ran for Senate. Why must Nadar run for President -- all the time? How about a state seat? I'm suspicious of his motives especially for someone who's not versed on a wide range of issues facing our country.

He's just not credible.

I don't often agree with 12thMan...but when I do it's becaus of posts like these.

I didn't know you didn't agree with me. Is it my politics or that I predicted Ryan Torain was going to be the starting running back on opening day

OK yopu had me going until you said this. Lets not counts those jobs until they are actually on the job working. Last time Obama started counting jobs it was in districts that did not exsist.LOL

I've got nothing.



Seriously though, I can't disagree with anything you said. Maybe he should start out at the smaller level. Now why couldn't any of the notable right wingers put that type of argument instead of pointing to some stock he owns as a good reason?

NC_Skins, I'm not trying to trash Nader or shoot down the idea of him running. I'm simply looking at his track record for running for office. He's never really put together a large scale campaign infrastructure to run for president.

If major corporations thought Ralph Nader was a credible candidate that started to get traction in the polls, he'd get some sponsorship. The big boys know how to tune out the campaign rhetoric and talk business.

This is where I disagree with you 100%. The only way he'd get "corporate" sponsorship is if he was willing to play ball like the rest of the guys taking handouts. Legislation is bought and paid for on a daily basis by lobbyists. They don't give out 100's of thousands of dollars without expecting favors back. Look at that Ponzi scheme thread to see how the "pay to play" thing works. If he's into putting restrictions and regulations on corporations, you can best believe they wouldn't be dontating to his cause. Would you?...lol

This shit won't amount to a hill of Georgia beans. I bet Cain continues to raise a shit load of money and won't be able to find Georgia or Georgia on the map.

Funny coming from a man who backs a Pres who thinks we have 57 states.
