That's cool...but tell him and the Green Party to stay home this time. Nothing against them...but we need to get the Republican party out of office this time and all the Green Party does at this point is take the Democrats' votes.

I do think Nadar has been the strongest Green Party candidate to date...but it's just too important this time. BTW...Matt Gonzalez 42 (an SF attorney) is a fast riser in the Green Party. Look for him in 2016.

mfc22 · June 2007

i agree that we need the republicans out of office, but do you really want hillary clinton to be our president?

Very cool.

I really like Ralph Nader, but don't want him running.

Ideally (and this is insane wishful thinking), I would like the Dems to control the Pres., House and Senate and just kick ass...make the Republican party a thing of the past (again...It will never happen but one can dream). At this point a Green Party type could legitimately run and have a chance without ruining it for EVERYONE!
Anyways, it's cool that you met him!

I have no problem with a women being President...especially one who's already been there before (in a sense).

I think that Obama could possibly beat her... and there is still time for an unknown candidate to surface.

This isn't the strongest group of dem candidates...but if Obama can put it together I think he is the man for the job.

You should have thanked him for the many years of Bush we have had to endure. That election would have never come down to Florida if that asshole didn't take away democratic votes. He did nothing but fuck things up.

fuck · June 2007

fuck, we need dennis kucinich in office for 08...

i've met ralph nader tons of times though. really cool guy.

mfc22 · June 2007

if Edwards were to get the nomination, I would definately vote dem. and i have no problem with a woman president, but i do have a problem with hillary being the president. and as far as Nader taking votes from Gore, I think it would have been far too overwhelming for this country to be led by the man who invented the internet, hehe.

CitizenRick · June 2007

Hey...did you ask Nadar about PJ or Ed?

mfc22 · June 2007

no, didn't have the opportunity. he was busy telling me about his new book, and i didn't wan't to seem like a dick and interrupt to ask about ed. hopefully he will run for pres, i can help with the campaign and meet ed?

No...but the Governator would be the only Republican I could stomach because of his strong ties with the Kennedy's.

Arnie hasn't been the best Governor of Kali-phonia but at least he isn't the traditional old GOP member. He is kind of a hybrid of sorts...like a "republicrat" if you will.

Most people who vote for Nader either vote for other Third Party candidates or don't vote at all. More registered democrats in florida voted for Bush than they did for Nader, Bush is a spoiler! As usual, partisan Dems base opinions on convictions instead of facts.

You need to learn your history there, guy. If you look at the Flordia numbers, even the Socialist (!) candidates got more votes than the difference between Bush and Gore. To blame Nader is lazy and ignorant (as it is to assume that Nader voters would have automatically voted for Gore, or voted at all for that matter, if Nader hadn't have run). Gore didn't even win his own fucking state!
In the end, blame the Bush voters (and I voted for him in 2000, sorry about that. I tried unsuccessfully to make up for it in 2004).

thank you! more democrats voted for bush than nader. gore lost his own fucking state. gore didn't ask for a state wide recall.

blame the democrats who couldn't beat a fuckin moron like George W Bush!

If you have a chance take a look at either Ron Paul, or Mike Gravel.

I think a lot of people on here might think that...but that is still better then supporting a clown like Rudy.

So why then?

If GW could run again, I would vote for him. Rudy is the next best thing.

Give me 5 reasons for why you believe that George W. Bush is a strong leader, and a worthy president.

Why? Rudy is nothing like GW.

There are more GW-like candidates then Rudy.

I will never understand wishful thinking that rids a government of any opposition.

Abookamongstthemany · June 2007

Don't blame Nader...blame the Dems for never putting up a candidate worth voting for.

Um, let's see, he's (primarily, not solely) responsible for...

Seat Belts
Airbags
Crash Testing
Clean Water Act
OSHA
Freedom of Information Act
EPA
Whistleblower laws
Nutrition/Warning Labeling

Just to name a few.

Rudy Guliani happened to be the mayor of a city that was attacked. That's about it. It was great to see Ron Paul make him look like an IDIOT in the debates when Paul said the reason the Bin Ladens of the world hate us is because we're over there and Guliani was flabbergasted and said he'd never heard that theory before, when it's a generally accepted one that Al Quada has stated MANY times before. If you're going to try and benefit off the fact that 3,000 people died under your watch, you should at least read up on the facts.

vedderelf · June 2007

I didn't know people were seriously considering Rudy. On the Colbert report the other day, they were talking about Hilary dropping the Rodham and suggested all candidates change their name. For Rudy, he could change it to "Sept. 11."

If you haven't, read "Grand Illusion: the Untold story of Guiliani and 9/11." Learned a lot.

JamMastaE · June 2007

the sooner you clowns realize the presidency was jacked and Bush DIDN'T win anything,the better off we all will be.

Nader can't be trusted

and this false paradigm of democrats v.s. republican needs to stop,they are equally crooked and "owned".

Ron Paul is the only one who would actually make change for the better.

the rest of these fucking corporate whores are nothing but puppets for those trying to destroy our country.that includes OBAMA.

WAKE UP!!!!

You've got to love the fact, though, that the REPUBLICAN front runner is a thrice married pro-choice East Coaster who likes to dress up as a woman in public, though:

Okay, that last one may not have actually been Guiliani.
