Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

[12thMan]

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
