Down goes Nader

Ralph, unlike a lot of people, I don't blame you for 2000. I don't fault people for voting for the candidate they wanted and I don't blame 3rd party candidates for running, no matter what their odds. Your central argument of "they're both the same" was laughably retarded, but whatever. But please, for the love of God, will you shut the fuck up and go away? The day after we have the first black President, you're going around wondering if he's going to be an Uncle Tom? Seriously? Do you even do anything anymore? Didn't you used to be an advocate for the public good? Now you just seem to run self-obsessed vanity campaigns that don't seek to either expand 3rd parties or push new ideas, but just seem to bitch because the ideas progressives and Democrats are using aren't your exact ideas. Voltaire referred to "the perfect as the enemy of the good" and that seems to be what you've based your whole political career around lately, being the enemy of the good. Tossing bombs because you've got nothing better to do.

Even Shep Smith was blown back by your statement. That seems to be his role lately on Fox, get totally dumbfounded and bewildered by something someone on Fox says, ask them to breathe for a second, walk their crazy statement back, and then shake his head in disbelief when the person doesn't. Ralph, go take a breather, get a shred of self-consciousness or political awareness, and return to society as a rational contributor to American politics. What the fuck is with all the old guys who want to destroy their carefully built legacies this year? Uncle Tom?
