Nader: Parrots can vote, right?



A clearly sedated Ralph Nader has unlocked the secret to campaign coverage: rambling to a disinterested parrot about most of the stuff Barack Obama rambles about to live humans. He then contemplates life as a panda (seriously) as everyone who respected him wondered what the hell happened to one of the nation's foremost public policy, consumer rights, and safety advocates. Does he even do that anymore, or is it just failed vanity campaigns for the Presidency? Ralph, I want to like you, this isn't helping.

Now he is right that there should be greater ballot access, coverage, and debate inclusion for legitimate third party candidates, but I think he could have gotten that across without the Dr. Doolittle act. Or is he running with the parrot? Oh he's running with Matt Gonzalez, a man who might not exist because I can't seem to find a single photo of him on the Nader/Gonzalez website. Found it, in the About section, on the right sidebar.

That said, if you're reading this site, you probably agree with Nader on the issues to a greater degree than Obama, as Nader goes fully left wing and Barack only partially left. You'll have your chance to vote for him in November too, as the nation's foremost parrot conversationalist is currently on the ballots of 45 states. Bob Barr also seems to be getting on a lot of ballots and will announce his policies in a video with a horse in a cowboy hat. Yes, these are the serious 3rd party candidates, you don't want to meet the unserious ones.
