Greg Kafoury would be an asset at every Nader rally. He is formidable. Totally sweet too.
It would be fun to observe him handle Nader haters.Walking can be a real trip

his platform is based on being "anti-corporation"...
to me, he blames all the ills of the US on corporations...it's his shtick...his leanings, for me, seem to be very much on the left...thus my view of him being a polarizing figure...
As for being an opportunist, as we've discussed before, he seems to show up every four years and say: "here I am, vote for me, I'll fight for you against those evil corporations"...rather than starting small, perhaps a house or senate run...where, if elected, he could introduce specific changes...0 -

a simple search would find tons of links showing nader is active pretty much 24/7, not just every 4 years when the media reports on him in a big waystandin above the crowd

how is it possible that you can vote for Obama when who you want to vote for is opposite of Obama is almost everything except one thing the war. and there are times that i don't even believe they agree on that. this is what i don't get. can you please explain to me why you would vote for Obama (is it the lesser of 2 evils crap again)People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

Which should answer their question of 'why run for president and not some other office? Well shit, because you guys, who are all poltically aware even, don't even seem to be aware that Nader's out there pushing these same causes every year. You still keep posting the same old 'just shows up every 4 years' bullshit....even after links have been provided on numerous occasions debunking this. Is it any wonder he runs for president? I'm starting to think some of you wouldn't know who he was and what he is fighting for without him doing just that!!If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

so going back to the point of this tread. my breaking point is during the debates. it is easy to give a great speech when your not challenged let me see what you can do when you are challenged. and before anyone Attacks me i don't just mean just Obama.
as for Nader, i like him but i wonder if he can change anything becuase i still believe that the USA is not as liberal as people here think it is. i think that nothing would change with him. but i will say the same thing abotu Obama and McCain.People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

Exactly! I don't see things changing with the other guys...so the least I can do is vote for the one represents the things that I agree with.
And america polls as supporting UHC, a decreased military budget, a crackdown on corporate crime and welfare....And yes, these are polls but they are the same polls telling these folks Nader has no chance of winning and they seem to be eating those up so....If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

ok, fine...you win, ralph's out there 24/7...sadly, no one seems to take notice...I'm sure the media will be blamed for that...anyhoo, I concede, he's out there fighting....like falwell and bucannan...
how about my point that ralph solely bases his platform on being the anti-corporate candidate....? which puts him very very very left...thus a polarizing figure....0
