I just saw Nader is looking to run for president again. Please people, we need to flood his office with mail to show that we do not want him being another spoiler in what is the most important election in our recent history.

I sent Ralph the following e-mail:

This message is to ask you to please not run for President this year. You do nothing in the off season, you do nothing to build your party, you do nothing for your country. Then every 4 years you want to be a spoiler in our political process. You helped give us Bush2 and I'm sure your smart enough to see what a disaster that has been.

It seems to me that you only run for president so Ralph Nader can feel good about Ralph Nader and I ask you for the good of America please please please do not run this time.

This is the most important election of our time and we don't need you screwing us up again. the election in 2000 was very important but you were too blind by your own greed to see what was happening until it was too late. please please please have some foresight this time around.

I'm convinced Ralph Nader is a republican operative. If you don't think so, explain to me why he doesn't campaign but only shows up in the last knowing he has zero chance in winning. Besides, it's a known fact he gets funding from some of the more egregious republican machines.

Someone has him on their leash.

All of this is true, though why are we being taught democracy by those who are fighting in Iraq and maintaining a concentration camp in Guantanamo?

Once again I wonder what George Bush "saw" when he "looked into" Pres. Putin's eyes...

Same thing he sees in everybody. An enemy of the Bush Family.

I woke up this morning and it was a nice day and all of a sudden i find out that Nader is running for President. It is too late Ralph. You missed the train. It left a long time ago and you were not on it

I posted this on Nader's website and it was deleted. All comments critical of Nader's candidacy are being expunged by his web team. Please call Nader's campaign at (202) 441 5727 and tell him that this sort of censorship tarnishes his reputation.

This is all true.

I voted for you in 2004, Mr. Nader, donated $75 -- I still have my signed copy of Crashing the Party -- and worked for your campaign in New York. I attended your election eve address at Cooper Union. I admire your record as a public advocate. I defended you at all turns against charges that you "spoiled" Gore's bid in 2000. I defended you in 2004 against charges that yours was a "vanity" run.

This time around I am supporting Barack Obama. That you would mount a bid against Sen. Obama, who opposed the war and favors a quick withdrawal, who favors a living wage, universal health care and most other priority issues for progressives, is an admission on your part that you are giddy with the thought of trying to spoil this election and punish the Democrats.

The joke, however, is on you, Mr. Nader, as you got 0.7% of the popular vote in 2004 and would be lucky to get that much in 2008. In either case your candidacy will be deservedly ignored and your presence in the race will have zero impact. Please re-think this foolish and vain misadventure, and put your and your supporters' energy and money toward a cause worth fighting for, one you can win, and one that does not seek to mendaciously tar a worthy Democrat candidate as a "corporate" tool of industry.

And if you do nothing else, have the decency to spell Barack Obama's name correctly on your website.

I have been waching some of the Sunday morning talk shows and have seen nothing about Boner and the rest of the repugs walking out of the House. That was this last week wasn't it? The repugs again, don't have to answer for their actions.

Disdain for logic and evidence defines the Con party and the end result is the pervasive malaise fostered by the mass "mainstream junk thought." media.

Thank you for the phone number, I called to back up my e-mail I sent and told the staffer who answered the phone that we as Americans are sick of Ralph Nader running for President so Ralph Nader can feel good about Ralph Nader. and made the request that he not screw up our system yet again.

Speaking of Darfur, how are things for the pygmies in the Congo, lately? People still cannibalizing them? Rape-as-new-social-control-method still rampant? Genocide still occurring with even less fuss than Darfur? I think so. Why do people ignore the Congo region, except when gorillas are involved?
