    Well that wouldn't make any business sense for them to do, now would it?

    It would a great day when candidates were covered based on merit, accomplishments, record and ideas instead of money and partisan politics.

    Most of Nader's current supporters would find a new candidate to support because Nader would have become too "mainstream", and loved by the corporate media...

    Then new, TV news influenced voters would start supporting him, and then in turn be called sheep by the old supporters.

    ahh so the men and women that support Nader only support him because he is not popular on television?

    so you agree with him..


    paul supporters
    nader supporters
    gravel supporters
    mccain supporters (before he became the favorite)

    are just supporters because they werent popular...


    is the reasoning here?

    Relax chief... I think focusing your attention on detecting ignorance has taken away your ability to pick up on sarcasm.

    I'd be pretty happy...

    but what or who would you blame when Ralph still doesn't get support and the votes you desire...?

    Actually, we caught the sarcasm. Thought it was funny too. Also loved how it poked fun at all the Naderites calling Obama supporters sheep.

    No, we just have a sense of humor---which some people seem to be lacking.

    Bullshit claim.

    What matters to me is his stances and record.

    Oh it must have been sarcasm. Ive heard that same remark plenty of times here on this board and I don't don't for a moment that you honestly think that.

    We wouldn't have anything to blame and then you'd actually have a point. As it stands now, you don't because Nader is completely ignored and not covered by the media so we can't not expect that to make a huge difference. Just like the way all you guys think Nader doesn't do anything but run for prez every 4 years and then vanishes...it's ignorance based on non-exposure.
