Throwing my hat in the ring

Now Im not this huge political guy ,never claim to be and frankly dont want to be one but something has got my goat this week...Ralph Nader . Nader has announced his bid for the presidency again...WHY ?

Nader cost the Democrats the election last time and helped George Bush into office by dividing the Democratic vote and single handedly killed Al Gore's bid for office . I was watching a news program last night were it said the two states that cost Gore were New Hampshire and Florida . They said Bush won by 27,000 votes in Nh but Nader had about 40,000 votes that would have went for Gore . In Florida Bush won by 537 votes and Nader had something like 90,000 votes that would have vaulted Gore into office ..

My take is the Nader is all about me, me ,me . If Ralph Nader believes, as he says, that his candidacy can stop "our country from being taken down and taken apart by corporate politics," he has every right, perhaps even a moral duty, to run for president. Every principle of democracy is on his side.

But if Nader thinks that there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats, as he argued in 2000, he is strangely oblivious to the radical shift in direction the country has taken in the last three years. If he thinks he did not help elect George Bush in 2000, he borders on the delusional.

And if he thinks there's no chance of him replaying his spoiler role in this year's election, he demonstrates a nieve attitude that leads us to conclude he's putting his ego ahead of the very causes he spent a lifetime fighting to support.

Ok , Im stepping down from my Soapbox and am going to make you laugh a little ....
