Nader: Obama Not Black Prez He Hoped For

I agree with Nader!

Obama isn’t black enough for… Ralph Nader?
Lol, what?

Paul,
Late today. You? Hope you will change your mind today.

Nader’s just looking for attention by attacking Obama. He’s adopting McCain’s strategy to do that as well. Nader’s been running every election. This guy’s ridiculous.

Nader is becoming more & more ignoraqble.
Obama would do good not to respond except the MSM is going to parade Nader around for the next 2 days

This is a lame attempt for Nader to get free publicity at Obama’s expense.

Paul -
Look what you got in your choice!
A vigorously defender of Bush and Cheney, who supports Cheney’s oil pals, putting aside his sworn duty of defending and protecting the Constitution.

Really Nader… I find it interesting that you sat around picturing what a black president should look like.
One thing that he forgot… Obama is not black, he is black and white, I guess you can say he is gray! Maybe that is why he does not see just one shade but sees several. This will make him a great president. He is willing to look further than his face.

Haters everywhere I go.. OBAMA 08

Go Ralph! I had written him off a long time ago, but why not? Bambi and McNutball are equally reprehensible choices, so if ol’ Ralph plays the spoiler once again, so be it.
OUTSOURCE THE PRESIDENCY!

DITTO…Way to go Nadar! Has anyone noticed how different Obama has been acting since he doesn’t have to keep up with Hillary? Geez…this election has fizzled….the conventions are going to be SUCH a bore…YAWN!

Leave it to Nader to tell it like it is.

obama.
change you can believe in.
like the easter bunny and the tooth fairey.
once that obama kool-aid wears off, you’ll be awfully disappointed when you see he’s just a corporate turd like the rest of em.

Obama is a joke. All “liberal” minded people should vote Nader in 08, for Obama doesn’t represent what they stand for. Nader always has and always will!

OBAMA IS NOT THE ONE WHO RAILED ON PARIS HILTON, MCCAIN DID. NADER HAS NEVER WON ANYTHING AND NEVER WILL, HE IS LIKE MOST, ANGRY BECAUSE HE CANNOT GET AS FAR AS OBAMA HAS. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, OBAMA KNOWS BOTH WORLDS WHITE AND BLACK, AND THAT MAKES FOR A BETTER PRESIDENT, WHO CAN SEE A BIGGER PCITURE THAN SOMEONE ONLY THINKING WHITE OR THINKIING BLACK, OR HISPANIC, ETC. IF FOR ONCE IN OUR LIFE, WE CAN GET BEHIND A PERSON WHO HAS EVERYONE’S INTEREST AT HEART AND NOT A PARTICULAR GROUP, WE CAN BECOME THE NATION THAT THE WORLD RESPECTS AND WANT TO LIKE LIKE, INSTEAD OF HATING US. WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THE BETTER NATION, THE 21ST CENTURY NATION, BUT WE ARE WORST THAN ANY THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND GOING BACKWARDS WITH THE RACIAL HATRED INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF IT. MCCAIN DOES NOT HAVE ANY ORIGINAL IDEAS OF HIS OWN, WHATEVER OBAMA SAYS HE JUMP TO CARRY IT OUT TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD. HE IS A FOLLOWER NOT A LEADER, AND THE BIGGEST THING, HE IS JEALOUS THAT A YOUNGER MAN OF MIXED HERITAGE IS MORE POPULAR THAN HE IS. AMERICA, YOU SAID YOU WANT CHANGE, GIVE OBAMA THE CHANCE TO MAKE SOME OF THOSE CHANGES, AND REMEMBER, THERE IS A CONGRESS AND SENATE THAT BLOCKS A LOT OF THE THINGS A PRESIDENT TRIES TO DO. WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS GETTING RID OF SOME OF THE WEAK SPINED PEOPLE BEEN SITTING IN WASHINGTON TOO LONG. THOSE SITS ALSO MAY DO GOOD WITH YOUNG BLOOD LIKE OBAMA. YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, HATING SOMEONE, BUT CALLING FOR CHANGE. YOU ARE GOING TO STOP YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND WANT THE BEST OF THE BEST, HIRE OBAMA. HE IS NOT PERFECT IT IS TRUE, BUT NEITHER ARE ANY OF US LIVING, BUT TO KEEP HATING PEOPLE ON COLOR ALONE SHAME ON YOUR IGNORANCE. ONE LAST WORD, EVERY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS THE SAME RIGHTS AND CAPABLITIES TO BE WELL SPOKEN AND MANNERED AS OBAMA. NOT EVERYONE HAS TO CUSE AND USE BAD GRAMMAR BECAUSE THEY SEE IT IN THE MOVIES AND ON TELEVISION. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY BLACK PERSON USES IMPROPER GRAMMAR, ABSOLUTELY NOT. IN FACT, ANY THOUGH PEOPLE WERE TAKEN FROM AFRICA AND ENSLAVED, THAT FIRST GENERATION OF SLAVES WERE ACTUALLY EDUCATED PEOPLE AND WERE TOTALLY OUT OF THEIR CULTURE COMING TO AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES AND SLAVES. THE WHITE MAN WAS JEALOUS OF WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAD IN AFRICA AND THE ONLY WAY TO CAPTURE OR TAKE OVER WHAT THEY HAD WAS TO GET RID OF THEM. SO AS ALWAYS, YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GREAT BY MAKING SOMEONE ELSE LOOK LESS THAN YOU. YOU MAKE THEM FEAR YOU, YOU TAKE AWAY ALL THAT IS FAMILAR AND GOOD FOR THEM. HOW DO YOU THINK AFRICA HAD KINGS AND QUEENS, THEY WERE NOT RUNNING AROUND NAKED AND WILD LIKE ANIMALS, THEY WERE HIGHLY EDUCATED AND CULTURED. THAT IS WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE WHITE MAN OF AMERICA TO FORBID THE SLACES TO READ AND WRITE, THEY NEEDED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE BLACK NATION TO STAY IN THAT CHILD-LIKE, IGNORANT STATE THEY HAD CREATED FOR THEM, AND MAKE THE WORLD BELIEVE THEY WERE NOT FIT FOR ANYTHING. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD WHO DOES ALL THINGS WELL, AND MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SLAVES TO BE GIVEN THEIR FREEDOM, FOR MAKE WHITE WOMEN WHO PRIVATELY TAUGHT SOME OF THEIR SLAVES TO LEARN TO READ AND WRITE. NOW THE BLACK RACE HAS SOME OF THE FINEST BLACK PEOPLE IN ALL OF AMERICA IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE, AND AMERICA NEEDS TO MAKE UP ITS MIND THAT THE BLACK NATION WAS WHERE LIFE BEGAN AND THE BLACK NATION WILL BE HERE WHEN THE LIFE ENDS. BLACK WHITE, BROWN, YELLOW, AND RED PEOPLE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTER. NONE OF YOU MADE YOURSELF, WE CAME FROM ONE GOD, ONE BLOOD, AND ONE NATION. LIFE BEGAN IN AFRICA PEOPLE!
GIVE OBAMA A CHANCE, HE TRULY CANNOT BE ANY WORST THAN WHITE BUSH! DO YOU TRULY WANT CHANGE OR IS IT JUST A GOOD SOUNDING PHRASE?
GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I.

Poll: Nearly half hearing too much about Obama
With Election Day still three months away, 48 percent said they’re hearing too much about the Democratic candidate, according to a poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.
Two-thirds of Republicans and about half of independents said they’ve heard too much about Obama, as did a third of Democrats, a significant number.
At the same time, nearly four in 10 said they’ve been hearing too little about McCain — about four times the number who said so about Obama. About half of Republicans, four in 10 independents and even a quarter of Democrats said they’ve not heard enough about the GOP candidate.
Looks like the MSM plan to try and push Obama down America’s throat has backfired. And now, it seems, with all of Obama’s flip-flopping, that his campaign is beginning to implode.

Nader is the number one example of a purpose without a life.

“Obama’s recent softening of his opposition to off-shore drilling as part of a broader effort to blur his differences with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.” … Nadar, you are correct. It’s also important to note that Pelosi and other democratic leaders are telling democrats who are up for re-election to just tell voters they are in favor of limited off-shore drilling so that they get re-elected, but they have no intention of actually lifting any ban – they plan to stall any proposed bill until after the election. Pelosi has been quoted as saying that, and Obama himself is no different. He will say he is in favor of limited off-shore drilling to win voters, it might fool some, but once in office, that ban will never be lifted. Another good reason to vote based on voting record rather than on what a politician says when he’s running for office.

Markymark said, “What is important is that less than half a century after desegregation we could elect someone of his skin colour.” No MarkyMark, that’s not what’s important in this election. The important thing is to elect THE RIGHT PERSON. John McCain says he’d rather lose an election than win the war. Obama says whatever he thinks people want to hear. The time will come for a minority president, hopefully sooner rather than later. Obama just isn’t the right man.

nader had a brief moment in the spotlight years ago—and is of no signifience today–his opinion is just that–who really cares what he has to say

I actually supported Obama in the beginning, but can’t now. He is moving way to far to the center and is sounding more and more like Bush. I’m not real happy about McCain, other than the fact that he does lay out his plans, is solid in his stance, and will not be swayed by others. McCain is beginning to really appeal to Americans as we see that Obama has basically been an “empty suit with no substance”. I think we will continue to see McCain increas in the polls as Obama continues to wrap himself in turmoil, trying to please Pelosi, Reid, and Dean. And, I hate to say it, if he chooses Bayh, he will lose. If Obama chooses Hillary, he may have a chance.

I’ve never given much credence to Nader, but he is the kind of individual with his words and tactics that can change the outcome of an election. There are a LOT of Americans that support Nader. With his sentiments of Obama, it doesn’t look good for Obama in the General Election.

Rodney, it seems that Obama is agreeing more and more with Bush now, as McCain is continuing to separate himself from Bush. Sometimes, reading Obama’s stance on the issues, I think I’m reading about Bush. Obama’s camp is hurting now and the GOP is going in for the kill. I knew it would be this way. Obama thought he had it in the bag with the MSM. He thought that beating Hillary in the primaries would automatcally give him the presidency. But now, he is in the big league, and the GOP will stop at nothing. Axelrod is no match for Schmidt….I’m telling you. The GOP will continue their onslaught in attacking Obama. It doesn’t look good for Obama. His only choice is to put Hillary on the ticket. Her supporters (PUMA), as CNN and MSNBC (Obama networks) stated, will have a definite negative impact on the Democratic Convention if Hillary is not on the ticket.

whats the matter people obama not black enough not white enough for some SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORANT AND PATHETIC well most of you voted for bush!! that explains!! DAVE FROM TEXAS; mccain is well more known than obama running for a second time he should be blowing obama away not only by 3 or 4 points and not even, what does that tell you???

RODNEY
thats why mccain isnt blowing obama away in the polls BECAUSE MCCAIN DOESNT HAVE A CLUE!!! he a lying confused old coot!!

Angie, because McCain is a Republican,and the last 8 yrs, George Bush has screwed things up, voters automatically identify McCain with Bush. I think McCain has done a great job of distancing himself from Bush. Also, with 100% of the media, the news channels and all the analysts behing Obama, even though he was unknown, he had the support to blow McCain out of the water. Problem is, America has shifted their support to McCain and will continue to do so. The media and the DNC’s plan backfired. And now, Nader, is against Obama, which will only to continue to hurt Obama in the future. Here’s the link:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080806/ap_on_el_pr/poll_obama_overexposure
Read it for yourself. With Obama’s continued flip flopping of his stance on the issues, its no wonder. Obama should do himself a favor and quit letting Pelosi and Reid treat him as their puppet!

angie my dear –it is funny how most everything is about race including nader—-since obama is half white why is he not referred to as such.the color thing is injected to attempt to put fear in a certain segment of our population.

I actually supported Obama in the beginning, but can’t now. He is moving way to far to the center and is sounding more and more like Bush.

Why a surprise and why take you so long? 0-bama, as Nader pointed out, has Vigorously Defended not impeaching Bush and Cheney.
I think you first owe the rest of the 18 million people an apology, and then, we can together defeat 0-bama.

So sorry Ralphie. And, you aren’t the proud and out gay man that you should be, either.

I think you first owe the rest of the 18 million people an apology, and then, we can together defeat 0-bama.

I do apologize to the 18 million suporters. I just found out this morning that Obama refused to vote to impeach Bush / Cheney.

Rodney, I do agree with you on slick willy……Hillary does not need him.

You both are blinded 0-bama supporters; of course you take every opportunity to trash your former president, the only successful 2-term president from the dems party in the past 60 years, who brought this country with unprecedented prosperity and peace during his 8 years in office.
Your phony Affirmative Action candi, as you do now, liked Clinto the same as the GW Bush administration. The final straw that convinced this voter that it is necessary to defeat this phony at all cost.

Ralph Nader’s greatest accomplishment was shooting the Chevy Corvair off the market in the 1960′s. John McCain’s greatest accomplishment was getting shot down over North Vietnam in the 1960′s. Barak Obama’s greatest accomplishement hasn’t happened yet but will in November.
Oh, and David from Texas. Vote for anyone you like. Texas will vote for a third Bush term regardless.

DAVID
from texas, you are hillarious but the fact is john mccain should be blowing obama away at this point explain why the voter registration turn out for democrats is 4 to 1 for republicans??? and btw if you belive mccain has distance from bush well i guess you belive in santa here are facts
MET WITH SENIOR BUSH IN MAINE A FEW WEEKS AGO
HIS CAMPAIGN IS LOADED WITH BUSH CROONIES
MET WITH JEB BUSH IN MEXICO ON HIS TRIP
HAD SECERT FUNRAISERS WITH BUSH A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND THE LIST GOES ON
NOW DAVE YOU KEEP BEING A GOOD BOY AND SANTA WILL COME!!

Jeremy,
Fools ignor the facts. I didn’t say he shouldn’t run, I just pointed out that the last 8 years would have been better for everyone, even the top 1% that bush has helped so much.

rodney – Nadar is of no significance today? The man is running for president as an independent – he may not get much press and doesn’t have the multi-million dollar advertising budget that Obama has, but he is still significant. There are many voters who aren’t buying into either the Democratic or Republican party rhetoric, especially in this election, that makes third party candidates VERY significant.

I used to blame Nader for Gore losing in 2000, but now I realize that Gore is a loser, so it’s not really Nader’s fault. Speaking of losers, Obama is just another in a long line of losers the Democrats have offered us.

angie -
voter registration is registration! Unlike you, voters have brains and they will choose the person who is fit to be a president.
People registered by dems or reps do not mean to necessarily vote for dems or reps.
Unless you are telling me 0-bama has been screening people and only registering those who promised to vote for him. Is that true?

mccain has made a lot of gaffes lately.
He talked about the tire pressure and it backfired in his face.
He offered to have his wife compete in a topless beauty contest.
He confused the packers with the Steelers while talking to a Pittsburgh crowd.
He gets upstaged by Paris Hilton after he foolishly used her in an ad that really pis*sed off her mommy.
He talked about people having trouble paying for stuff while wearing $520 shoes.
People are going to start thinking that he is really losing it.

According to Larouche, billionaire NYC Mayor Bloomberg is the VP choice for both Dem and GOP parties.
Bloomberg may be installed as VP to put forth agenda of privatizing government programs, infrastructure and jobs for big $$$ on behalf of his bosses, international bankers and financiers.
These bosses’ wealth is apparently jeopardized with collapsing economies worldwide today and are desperate to maintain wealth.
It is said that Al Gore is another employee too of these international bankers and financiers and he may be installed as Prez as Obama self destructs in public from this point on to the convention.
Do you think there is any truth to this?

The fact is obama will win the east coast and the west coast but i dont see the south and we all know why!!
Posted by: angie | Aug 6, 2008 2:10:07 PM

Kerry won the east coast, the west coast and Illinois!

Nader, Nader…..charging that Obama is blurring things….Obama said a long time ago that “I will always tell you what i think” about an issue…
In terms of offshore drilling, he would tax the crap out of the 3% of oil that our country holds for the Republicans, and put that money into places that would break our addiction to Oil….its a compromise

Oh, good…Ralph Nader *rolls eyes*. I find it completely impossible to take that insufferable pr**k seriously. He pops up every 2-4 years to get his name and face in the news, and that’s about it. He’s about as much of a consumer advocate as I am, and above all else, he’s completely enamoured with himself.

The wrinkly, white-haired guy made a huge mistake!!
This just keeps getting better….LOL I really like Paris now… She does have class!! Go Paris!!!
How Paris Hilton’s McCain response came about
Paris Hilton is often thought of as a cartoon, the prototypical shallow celebrity. That was certainly one point of John McCain’s commercial featuring her and Britney Spears (and likening Barack Obama to both).
Paris Hilton has responded to John McCain’s ad with her own video.
But upon seeing the McCain ad, director Adam McKay (“Step Brothers,” “Anchorman”) thought of Hilton differently — as an American citizen.
“I was literally in my car and thought Paris must respond. It’s her duty as a citizen,” McKay told CNN. “Within three hours I was on the phone with her and she was into it.”
McKay is also co-founder of FunnyOrDie.com, the comedy video Web site that posted the Hilton video. He observed that the Hilton response was a natural reaction to McCain’s ad.
“McCain made one huge mistake. He drifted into the world of pop culture. And that’s Paris’ world. She owns that world,” he said. “So now he gets the blowback.”
Now that the Hilton video (as expected) has received coverage on mainstream media outlets such as CNN, McKay has bigger plans.
“Our next goal is a town hall style debate between Paris, McCain and that sea creature that washed up in Montauk,” he said.
And could there be more videos?
“We’re praying that Obama does an ad with Screech from ‘Saved by the Bell,’ ” he said. Then he twisted a knife. “Or maybe McCain’s next ad about the trillions we’ve spent on the Iraq war while our economy falls apart will have Janet Jackson or Paula Abdul in it.”

It all comes down to whether or not you think we should continue to spend $10,000,000,000 a month in Iraq indefinitely and if you think that the bush/cheney policies have been good for the economy. If you think that this country deserves better then vote for Obama because mccain will certainly be 4 more years of the SAME. No matter how much mc-more-war tries to distance himself from the bush-league, when you vote for the bush policies 95% of the time that tells the story. Obama 2008!!!

FACT CHECK and your point is?????

I hate to respond to the kind of lies Democratnomore2 is posting. But Barack Obama Sr is not listed anywhere as Arab. His father, Senator Obama’s grandfather, was born a Christian, and then converted to Islam (adding Hussein to his name). Obama Sr is most often referred to as an atheist, at most religious could be listed as a non practice muslim.
Senator Barack Obama is not now nor ever has been a muslim.

angie,
The point is that 0-bama will lose, because he is unfit, unqualified, clueless except deception, and we will defeat him because he stole the nomination unfairly.

I’m here to address some of the confusions about my positions.
- Yes, I am against offshore drilling, but yes I will support offshore drilling
- Yes, I am against NAFTA but yes I am for it as well.
- I am for publicly financed campaigns but will not support it for myself.
Questions?? What’s that?? I don’t understand….flip flop flip flop.

If you intend on voting for Mccain as a protest to Clinton. Why don’t you vote for Nader? Maybe we could get to a point in this country where we would have a real choice for president. I honestly think Nader would be a better president that Obama or Mccain.

I couldn’t agree more with Nader that Senator Obama isn’t the one civil rights leaders thought he would be, he’s more. A leader for all people regardless of their color or stature. I do disagree with Nader about impeaching Bush & Cheney. What’s the point at this time of the game. The ninth inning is almost over. All it would do is add insult and more debt to the injury that has already taken place. Let the man last out these last few month’s, hopefully without needlessly invading another country and maybe he’ll retire to his ranch in Paraguay.

“Yes, I am against offshore drilling, but yes I will support offshore drilling. Yes, I am against NAFTA but yes I am for it as well. I am for publicly financed campaigns but will not support it for myself.”
I guess when you live in a fantasy world of over-simplifications – the kind of fantasy world in which McCain makes sense – the above attacks have meaning.
For the rest of us, they don’t. Consider this statement, for example. I’m for taking my son to soccer practice, unless he has a cold. If I were a candidate, my Republican opponent would accuse me of being on both sides of the soccer practice issue.

david from texas,
Keep on hoping for a miracle.
In the world of the Deity, miracles are not miracles if they work against the Messiah or Chosen One.
So, my dear cowboy from Texas, your prayers will be in vain.
Barack Obama will be Inaugurated POTUS in Jan ’09.

Paul,
That is correct and I like your analogy. Let me try one of my own:
- I am AGAINST offshore drilling, UNLESS SUPPORTING offshore drilling will help me in the polls.
- As I steadfastly maintain, offshore drilling will help very little our situation. But I SUPPORT it because the polls say I should
FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP

steve
BY THE BIGGEST LANDSLIDE EVER.

Fact Check.
I don’t appreciate the names. I am NOT a Muslim, I vehemently deny it. However, we should have nothing against Muslims and people should not vehemently deny they are, just politely say they aren’t.
I support Muslims in American, many are decent people with a bad rap. However, please do not place any Muslims behind me on camera when I am giving speeches. They’ll kill me in the polls!
FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP

As I re-read these posts. I find, Angie, that you are waaaaayyyyy to involved here and a lot of your posts have no credence, except that you like to hurl insults to others who are trying to have intelligent conversation. Please, give it a rest….you’re making yourself look completely stupid.

Looks like Fact Check is scared that we might actually have a decent president at the white house. Give it a rest man, no one comes here to get their minds changed. You are wasting your time, and you look very feeble. Are you really John McSame?

Paul,
That is correct. I having nothing against any religion.
That being said, I am against having Muslims appear behind me when giving speeches on camera.

McCain did not rail on Paris….he compared Obama to her. You Obamanuts make no sense, you defend Paris but you are upset that obama was lumped in the celebrity club with her.

just remember that that obama is white and all will be ok—look at him as a guy with a deep tan—–one of my friends who is for obama told his grandmother who is very old–and her first comment was oh my dont vote for a BLACK guy—AND THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP–MORE TRUTH IN THIS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I believe Nader just is jealous of Obama because he first is a black president if he wins. Nader just like to insult and demonstrate everyone world. Nader is very EGO person

David from Texas: “However, it does appear that Obama has lost his appeal to the American voter.”
Huh. And NBC is reporting today that Obama’s electoral standing is looking stronger today than a week ago.
Based on what they’re saying, without a major shake-up of some kind, its down to McCain needing a perfect run of all the battleground states.
That said, I’ll be the first to acknowledge its early and even these state by state polls mean little when taken so far out from election day.
The conventions will have their impact, as will the debates. And who knows what external dynamics will change between now and November.

Rodney,
I find your rhetoric divisive. There is no place for race baiting in my campaign, and I won’t stand for it.
Did I mention that in a hypothetical world John McCain might try to scare you about the fact I’m black? That’s racism people, and you should vote for McCain simply because of that. Who could vote for a guy who hypothetically (in my head) would make a racist comment?
Let’s work toward a post-racial society people.
FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP

chatty: “McCain did not rail on Paris…”
No, but he invoked her poor reputation for the sake of a political joke, and then felt compelled to answer her response to the original joke.
Your candidate actually engaged in a give and take with Paris Hilton, lol.
No matter how you slice it, that’s pretty pathetic.

Poll: Nearly half hearing too much about Obama
With Election Day still three months away, 48 percent said they’re hearing too much about the Democratic candidate, according to a poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just 26 percent said the same about his Republican rival, John McCain.

Looks like the MSM plan to try and push Obama down America’s throat has backfired. And now, it seems, with all of Obama’s flip-flopping, that his campaign is beginning to implode.

I think Nader is reading the writing on the wall…….and feels Obama will lose the election and is just distancing himself from the loser.
Posted by: chattyway | Aug 6, 2008 2:54:22 PM
Good Point.

David – I think you’re reading those poll results incorrectly. Hearing too much about Obama could mean they are growing tired of McCain’s negativity, and want to see some scrutiny of the Arizona senator as well.
Remember that while Obama has dominated the coverage, the majority of that coverage has been negative, according to some study the media was talking about last week. It was something like 72 percent negative and 28 percent positive.
Maybe people want to see some of that scrutiny on McCain.
Do we really think the guy, obviously gaffe prone and so obsessed with celebrities as he is, can withstand the scrutiny?

The New York Post reports:
One more week, one more Barack Obama reversal on a key issue.
Actually, make that two reversals.
The Democratic presidential hopeful says he’s now open to easing the offshore-drilling ban, and he wants to tap the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
What a difference a few polls make, no?

First, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her anti-energy allies in the House skipped town without even scheduling a vote on The American Energy Act – the kind of common sense, “all of the above” energy strategy Americans favor.
Then MoveOn.org sent a desperate email to their supporters asking for money to air an ad to slow the momentum of the movement for America to develop more American energy now.
And Senator Obama, who until late last week opposed offshore drilling, said he would now favor offshore drilling as part of a comprehensive energy strategy for America.
But we all know that after a retreat, the opposition will try to regroup. It’s time to double our efforts to prevent that from happening.

“I think Nader is reading the writing on the wall…….and feels Obama will lose the election and is just distancing himself from the loser.”
Oh my gosh, you guys are reaching now, lol. You actually think a third party candidate feels the need to distance himself… That’s just about the nuttiest thing I’ve heard all day.
Well, I take it back. McCain engaging Paris Hilton in debate is the nuttiest.

Barry – you bring up a good point. Abortion is like the only issue McCain hasn’t flip flopped on.
But McCain’s flip flops pale next to his pathetic celebrity obsession.

The list of issues on which Barack Obama has flipped now that the primaries are over is long and growing rapidly.
• He says he believes in a Second Amendment right to bear arms.
• He now opposes late-term abortion.
• He suddenly is a devotee of using faith-based institutions to deliver public services.
• He now says that he won’t raise Social Security taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. In the primary, he said he’d eliminate the threshold entirely, including on people making as little as $100,000.
• He recently opposed the Fairness Doctrine for talk radio.
• Now he says he’s going to consult with the military before pulling out of Iraq.
But so extensive a list of flip-flops, all in the past few weeks, begs the basic question: Was he lying before when he was a liberal, or is he prevaricating now?
Even if Obama means what he is saying as he moves to the center trying to win the general election, the fact is that he will be forced to move very far to the left should he become president, forced by the liberals in his own party.
If Obama wins, it’s more than likely that he will take office with a Congress filled with Democrats and liberals. Most probably, the Senate will have at least 55 Democrats (including pickups in Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire and Alaska). And there might be as many as 62 (possible Democratic pickups include Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Kentucky, Texas, Kansas and North Carolina). The House will, of course, be solidly in Democratic control.

david from texas,
You have been seeing too much of Cindy McCain.
Stop taking that crack buddy.
The paris clip is helpinc MCSame? You must be dreaming.

Aston, lets not get personal, now, about Lil’ Barack.

Steve_NJ….why is it, that Obamacons, have such a problem with the truth and facts? I’m confused. I think someone, here in Texas, said that TS Edouard would not hit Texas if only lord Obama would raise his hands to the gulf and say, “Be still”. Some of the Obmabots actually believe Obama has this power. Give it a rest. Face the facts…Obama is sinking, and will continue to sink until November when President McCain gives his victory speech!

fact check….I didn’t have ROOM enough to post ALL the flip flops Obama has made. I would have to get an entire domain to do that!

Paul,
I already said, topless, at breast level, is a lot fun, eye-pleasing, HARMless to your liberty, than topless above the neck from the brain-dead who only became proud of her country after her husband gained Affirmative Action access.

david from texas,
I will give you $1,000.00 if Barack is not Inaugurated POTUS on Jan ’09.
I will only take $1.00 from you if I win.
Is that confidence or what. Oh I forgot. I am an ELITIST (the new Repug term for Democrat)

You know, Nadar is fooling himself this time. Before he was only fooling us. That’s a deep character flaw.

Whats your email, I want my money!

Yeah, david from texas, I’d have to call his bluff on that one, too. I do think Obama is probably going to win, but I’d place a dollar bet at a thousand-to-one odds on any major party candidate.

So you’re okay with a presidential candidate offering up his wife for one of these things? Or any guy for that matter.

Better than offering up his wife to hate your country.

Today at the drug store saw magazine with headlines stating something about Michelle-Barack Obama splitting up. Is this true?

hey Fact, wanna split the $1000.00 Steve_NJ is going to give me when President McCain is sworn in?
Posted by: david from texas | Aug 6, 2008 3:24:19 PM

No, but thanks. I will get my own $1000 from 0-bama directly since he has already promised to give everyone $1000 if he is elected.
He will rob the evil oil companies, companies that power the economy of your country, divide it and split with you.
I am a beneficiary, even I vote against him, since for Ala’s sake, the Bill he supported to spy on you has not fully implemented to record your voting records yet.

Paul: ya, I was just reading on other another site that he is today demanding a “surge on the economy” like the “surge on the war” he said that worked so if we surge the economy today it should work???
OMG!!! please help us…stop the madness.

Oh ya, Paul: that was in front of a dozen people.
You supporters of McCains what is wrong can’t afford to get off work for a day of McCain???

Off The Press
McCAIN IS A RISKIER CHOICE THAN OBAMA
McCain could die before inauguration day.
It was circulating as a rumor but now seems to be gaining some credence.
McCain’s skin cancer is back.
McCain has also been confirmed to have prostate cancer. Doctor’s are determining whether it is contained or may have metastasized.

See, if you call on Ala, even 0-bama cannot get a hand on spying you. No wonder why 0-bama hates Muslim so much to vehemently denying it.

Hey Paul….its urs if ya want it! Man, here in the Texas hills, i didnt know a feller could win some loot from these here blogs….let me tell the ole lady we’re gonna git $500 bucks…heck, thats a lot of money here in the lone star state!

Steve_NJ – There is a similar rumor, in reverse about Obama (a compulsive smoker for 20 years) and lung cancer. Rumors sure do make you think don’t they?

After barely a week on the job, Barack Obama’s Muslim outreach adviser resigned from the campaign after an old business connection with a fundamentalist Islamic imam.
—
So much hatred, 20 years bruise in Trinity will made a toll on you.

Thanks man. I doubt we’ll collect, but the odds of McCain winning certainly aren’t as low as a thousand to one. I’d put it more like 60-40.
Those are odds, and from someone with absolutely no experience at setting them… but just wanted to be clear I’m not predicting a 60-40 percentage of votes. I think either major party could run Barry Bonds or even that annoying guy from the infomercials with the question marks all over his jacket, and he’d get better than 40 percent of the vote.

I’m outta here. Have a good one!

“I will not be here if I were wworried about saying something I could be sorry about tomorrow. Don’t take yourseldf too seriously bud. That is the problem with you ELITIST.”
You have to be elitist to have a conscience? Whoa, who knew. I am an elitist.
Speaking of elitism, are there any Navy vets in the house. Among the Services, the Navy has a reputation for having the most elitist officers.
When Marines go on ship, we’re embarrassed by the trappings – especially at meals, when the enlisted folks who get assigned to the Ward Room have to even fetch our cups of coffee.
Anyway, the Navy officers have a expression for their enlisted sailors. Enlisted Friends. Its what they think is funny, because the F means something else. Seriously, they think this is funny.
Kind of makes you wonder what John McCain means when he calls everyone, “my friend.”

Well, Ralph,
My question would be, “Which Obama are you talking about?”
Hussein Obama positions on everything from religion to economy to military to whatever change from day to day.
How can anyone contemplate the failure or success of Hussein Obama?
There is simply nothing to measure.

Jayhawk: “How can anyone contemplate the failure or success of Hussein Obama? There is simply nothing to measure.”
Jayhawk, Obama successfully derailed the major political machine in Democratic Party circles. He successfully ran an extremely organized campaign team – one of the better run campaigns we’ve seen in a long time.
And he’s successfully drawn out what I believe is the real John McCain – not the happy warrior he pretends to be, but a low-road candidate dripping with anger, negativity and even borderline obsession.
Now what has McCain accomplished, in his many more years?

Hahahahaha !!!

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict Ralph Nader will not win the presidency. Having said that, who gives a rat’s a-s what he thinks.
I now understand what the news media means when they say educated people are going for Obama; because only an ignorant uninformed person would based his or her vote on the candidate middle name. I’m surprised they know how to type.

voter100 – I think Obama has delivered the best line of the campaign season to date, when he said, “Its like these guys are proud of being ignorant.”
At the risk of demeaning McCain supporters, they do seem to thrive on that persona – someone who is proud of his ignorance.

That’s twice in recent weeks that he’s nailed him good.

Hey, Ralphie boy, why don’t you attack McCain and the Republicans who are the real disappointment as leaders. No one could be worse than Bush and McCain is not much better…with his successful surge baloney. Iraq has been nothing but a bindle and the surge has been only a band-aid creating economic woes in this country. McCain’s attitude is built on dreams and militarism. Nader disgusts me the way he comes after the Democrats!

Lol. Still grasping for straws huh Terry??

Well May, scared adults never get anything in life. So you and Terry keep burying your heads in the sand like an ostrich while Repugs run our country into the ground….

Terry & May, what hole did you two crawl out of? It’s people like you that is the problem. You can’t think for yourselves so you run scared with other uninformed idiots.

The Oracle728, First off, the Republicans are not running “our country into the ground….” the Democrats are and you may be praying for a Bush third term if Obama gets elected.
Obama’s economic policies are the same failed policies of the Democrats that are ruining the US economy and if Obama gets elected the problems will escalate. The problems with the economy are in large part due to high gas prices, high food prices and the collapse of the housing market. All of the aforementioned problems can be directly traced to the failed policies of the Democrats. Obama has stated that he thinks the high price of gas is ok with him. Truth is if the Democrats had not banned drilling for oil in ANWAR and off-shore for years the US would not be as dependent on Middle Eastern oil and the gas prices would be much lower now. The Democrats are lying to us when they say drilling for oil will not make gas prices go down. The US has more oil than all of the Middle East combined and if we start drilling for oil now oil could start flowing in as little as two years from now. The dirty little secret of the Democrats is that, like Obama, the Democrats are very happy with the high price of gas as they want to force all of the poor people, that they claim to care so much about, out of their cars and onto bicycles or public transit. Food prices are high because of the fact Democrats pushed biofuels which took a lot of food acreage out of production causing a shortage of food bringing food costs higher. By the way, one of Obama’s biggest contributers is the biofuel industry. As to the housing market collapse, it is the Democrats who pushed the loan industry into loaning money to high risk borrowers in the name of affirmative action which led to the collapse of the housing market. What is even more troubling is that in a time of war Obama wants to fund his massive government spending programs via decimating the Defense budget and raising taxes. US spending on Defense , including Iraq, is at a relatively low level when compared to other war time budgets such as WWII and Vietnam. The US has not been attacked since 9/11 so a good argument could be made that the funds spent on Defense have been well worth it since another 9/11 attack could cripple our economy. Raising corporate taxes, payroll taxes, and income taxes will kill economic growth that will result in higher unemployment and a lower standard of living for the very people Obama says he wants to help.. If the change you can believe in is higher gas and food prices , more job losses, lower standard of living vote Obama cause as Obama has stated “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK…. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”

Dan Caplis has documented Obama’s views on race in Obama’s own words as follows:I can’t imagine that America would knowingly elect a man who said that Black Nationalism- “a steady attack on the white race”-is justified if it can deliver results.I can’t imagine that America would knowingly elect a man who said that the “other race” will always be menacing, alien and apart, that emotions between the races could never be pure, that whites speak endless falsehoods against blacks and that he is willing to exempt some whites from his “general category” of distrust.I can’t imagine that America would knowingly elect a man who says that whites who move to the suburbs are trying to dissolve the link between blacks and whites, that whites are phantoms to be expunged from the dreams of blacks, and says of racism “that’s just how white folks will do you.”If John McCain or Hillary Clinton had said those things about African-Americans they would have been (correctly) run out of the Senate, let alone the presidential race.I can’t imagine that the American people would knowingly elect a man who described himself as “ a westerner not entirely at home in the west”, who now says that he was “ a spy behind enemy lines” when he worked for a prominent corporation, and who as an adult sought “inspiration” from the former Prime Minister of the Black Panthers, Stokely Carmichael, and then found himself wandering down the middle of a street in New York talking to himself like a “crazy” man after leaving the gathering.I can’t believe the American people would knowingly elect a President who condemned the American people as “manic and self-absorbed”, and who publicly disparaged and embarrassed the eight “Irish” and “Polish” Catholic priests who helped Obama when he was a community organizer in Chicago.Barack Obama has done and said all of these disturbing things, and much more. Each is fully documented in this report, including the text, page references, and sound. The sound is taken from Obama’s taped version of “Dreams From My Father”. Where Obama chose to leave a part of the book off the recorded version I have substituted an accurate reading of his words.It is my hope that this report will be valuable to voters in a lot of different ways. I think it will help people see that Barack Obama’s choice of Jeremiah Wright as a minister, advisor and virtual “member of the family” was not a fluke. Obama’s own words confirm that he believes that a constant attack on whites is justified if it will produce results. Obama’s own words make it clear that he has held other racial views that most people of all races will find archaic, offensive and divisive.I think this report will help people see that Barack Obama stereotypes the American people based on race, and that those stereotypes are grossly negative. I think it will help people see that his racial prejudice and anger are unfortunately a fundamental part of him, which, in his words are “…aspects of myself which resist conscious choice.” I think this report will also help people see the irony in Barack Obama’s claim that his opponents are playing the “race card”, when his own words show that he is the one with negative racial views.
Karl Huggins, You are wrong. Reagan’s economic policies brought the US out of one of the worse economic disasters in history caused by the failed economic policies of Carter and the Democrats that Obama wants to reinstitute in the name of “change”.
If you know any history, during Carter’s reign in power, inflation was sky high, gas rationing was in for interests rates went through the roof and there was high unemployment. Most of Obama’s economic policies are from Carter’s era which, if implemented, will bring much of the same hardship to all Americans. It took President Reagan’s lowering of taxes and a strong Defense policy to raise the economy out of the recession caused by Carter and to get Iran to release the hostages that Carter’s failed tactics of appeasement (that Obama wants to reinstitute) did not accomplish.
As to Clinton, the US was in a recession when Bush took office. Look it up. Yet,despite 9/11 and Katrina, Bush’s tax cuts and economic policies have resulted in relatively a low unemployment rate, inflation under control and low interests rates. Again, if Obama gets his way and implements the failed economic policies of the Democrats and his hero, Carter, you can expect the same results: high inflation, high interest rates, high unemployment, high gas prices, high food prices, etc. etc. The only people that will benefit from Obama’s (aka Carter’s) economic policies are the self-serving faceless State workers in D.C. that will be sitting on their high horse telling everyone how to run their lives.

Karl Huggins, I also lived through the Carter era and you cannot rewrite economic history. Carter even stated he was for “no growth” and made a speech about how we should all lower our expectations for a better life along with wearing sweaters instead of heating our homes. Carter’s and Obama’s economic polices, (aka socialism) have had a track record of failure from time immorial. Even Europe is starting to realize

For those who missed the news regarding Al-Maliki’s supposed endorsement of Obama’s plan. Read here http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/07/19/almaliki.obama/ His office issued a press release disputing the news.

So hey, isn’t this the most simple-minded debate ever.
This article is only, ONLY, reporting someone waving the race flag in the air as though if he lets go it will float away and never be confronted again.
If Obama is elected, he represents America’s first step towards actually trusting the voice of the people to an ideal of change, because allowing black people in office is a change even if it’s been legal.
It is asinine to judge “how white” a person is, especially in a place like America, where no one is really just “white” anymore anyway. Obama illuminates this in his ability to look beyond dumb-ass color squabbles and see the universal significance this will have on America’s progress towards adhering to its own ideals. This race isn’t about the next four year term, it’s about the curve in history that is taking place as we speak, change to a different time and more stringent adherence and aspiration to the ideals that our forefathers have set for us. The fact that we call the first possible female presidential nominee by her first name because she’s a woman, or pay attention to articles where a previous presidential nominee has the gaul to call into question someone’s “blackness”, is the most important spotlight on how much we have turned from the agenda of being American.

Ralph WHO?!?
Why does anybody care what that fool has to say? Stupid reporters only encourage him to stop drooling long enough for a soundbyte. Stop wasting our time reporting on this bitter old Trotskyite.

man i am so grateful that we as humans do not think the same.man i think god we all have different opinions.i am having a problem trying to find a black american pres that fits nader character.somebody please tell nader that this is not an audition.talk about white man playing the civil rights card gott cha ralph.

As a lefty democrat I have just never liked Nader–something about him I instinctively don’t trust. I agree with much of what he says but haven’t seen much action from the guy in the past 12 years except repeatedly running for president. Egomaniac or well intentioned political activist? Maybe a bit a each. I for one am so done with Nader.

I love how Nader is holding Obama accountable for his blatant fumbles. Nader is an Independent and doesn’t bow down to corporate, PAC, or any business tycoons.
I think I speak for a majority of Americans when I say that I’d LOVE to see Nader debate McCain and Obama. Hopefully Google will include him in their mid-September debate in New Orleans.
Check out http://www.VoteNader.org to keep abreast on what the Nader/Gonzalez camp is up to.

Got Fear,
Why do you bother yourself replying the so called Jenelle Dew. Mind you that’s not her real name. Jenelle Dew is one of the paid mcsame bloggers who is afraid to post her real name. What do you expect to see on this blog? Nothing but a well planned rumor attack. Their mission it to hide behind the computer and spread fear and rumor against obama and they are getting paid for it.
But don’t allow their campaign of calumny to bother you. It is the stock in trade of the republicans. Come november, it is going to be obama by a landslide. I have said it before and I’m repeating it now, MARK MY WORD! They never come back in vain.

Kevin it seems you are the racist and are making your decision for President solely on race. You are also lying when you say blacks punish all whites for slavery. I know from history that the Quakers fought against slavery and were white along with many white abolititionist- But you must understand fighting against slavery was not about black or white it was about wrong and right. And also from the history of American slavery was real and happened right here on this country’s soil and was some of the most horrible treatment of Black persons. If your family helped to liberate slaves then wonderful. But what Blacks want to know is when will racism actually stop in America and Black people be treated like everybody else. When you can answer that question-email me back. Did you know it was illegal(laws on the books) for black people to learn to read or be educated-illegal to sit in the front of a bus-to open a business-illegal to go to a store or restaurant where whites go-to married whoever you want -to buy property(restrictions of where to buy property- and illegal for blacks to vote. And after working in the most horrible conditions(raped/whipped /and disrepected-with no appology and no payment for all the free labor we provided while everyone else got rich. If you really think Obama is the problem your head lives in the sand.

I think Nader’s comments will help Obama. I mean, Nader is a left wing zealot. It puts Obama into the proper perspective, a sensible pragmatist.
And let me see, at what level has respect for Nader risen from zero lately? Why is he even relevant these days? And as far as the champion of human rights and African Americans and the one to judge if Obama fits the definition of America’s first black President – give me a break. I think that is more a question for the American people, who by the way, I am sure will get it right.
The author of the article quotes Nader on the following: “I lost respect for him,” Nader said of Obama “when I saw him over a year ago on C-SPAN vigorously opposed to the impeachment of Bush and Cheney — vigorously opposed. He said it would be ‘divisive’. That is a cop out word. We have the most multiply impeachable presidency in American history.”
Impeach Bush while he and Cheney and the GOP have the levers of power? Right, that would succeed like the Vietnam war. It might make sense to go after him later for the crimes when they come to light don’t you think? When the power is in someone else’ hands, ideally a Democrats. It would be like the crew taking on the Captain while everyone knows the ship is sinking. And fast.

And a toast to all the elite right wingers saying Nader has it right. Well, I’ll be, you agree with the most left winger in the history of American civilization? Why? Because his petty comments on Obama and his elitist sense of self importance to speak for the African American community and the civil rights community fits with your own sense of superiority. All those calling for Obama’s loss of the election even before the convention to nominate him, and when he continues to lead in the polls, are being a bit presumptuous don’t you think? I will keep my money on Obama.

Why is it every time someone posts the truth about Obama, he is Arab American not African American, the Obama people seem to remove my post? This is America and we have the right to say the truth. This is just another good reason not to vote for Obama, control of the press and our freedom of speech.

Ralph is right, he may get my vote yet.

How come this turd keeps coming back.
What does Brett Farve and Ralph Nader have in common. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO GIVE IT UP.
What does Brett Farve and Ralph Nader DONT have in common. BRETT FARVE ACTUALLY HAD A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
I hope this is the last year this ogre rears his ugly head

I see we have folks in here taking pride of their ignorance.
FIRST OF ALL who the heck is NADER anyways. He will go down in history as THE SPOILER. If it wasnt for this dufus, we would not be in the quagmire we are in now because there would have been GWB. A MAN WHO USED POOR JUDGEMENT by playing defense for the GOP in 2000 and NOW he wants to be some authority for what’s good for America.
SECOND, when can anyone tell me when Ralph Nader ever agreed with anyone. His only reason for living is to wake from his hibernation every four years and poo poo on everything the DEM AND GOP party stand for. If he was such a influential figure why not campaign his issues on off election years. This farce just want the quadrennial attention and then goes back and crawls under his rock. GO AWAY … YOU SUCK NADER
LASTLY Nader knows the only way to get attention is to say something controversial so that he can get some free press to roll out his tired agenda. Unfortunately he is proving more putrid that I imagined by bringing race into it.
GO AWAY YOU LOSER.

If the democrats weren’t thraot cutting liars, they would support Nader, but they quickly cut Hillary’s throat, demanded when she was winning and has won the popular primary vote to STEP DOWN, and forgot instantly and without even flinching that “every vote is supposed to count”.
The democrats are everything BUT democratic, they are tyrannist cutthroats in thw worst traditions of Stalin, Hitler and Moussolini.
I will NEVER go back to the party of my Grandfather – he would be ASHAMED of it today, they total destruction of the little person, the underdog, the third party players, the “2nd teir” candidates, all for the bloody greedy eyed satanic slobbering lust for power.
Mt Grandmother thinks “the democrats have gone insane” – and of course she is correct – it’s difficult for upstanding fine elderly people to actually believe just how filthy the democrats have become.
Lies and attacks, and now this cutting the throats of their own.
I am so sick of it all, I’d vote for someone like Ralph Nader in a midtown minute.
I quite understand the slathering bloodlusting powers of death and destructuion that seethe through the very core of the democrats today TOTALLY PREVENT an honest campaign, an honest primary, or an honest nomination, and an HONEST COUNT OF THE VOTES OF WE THE PEOPLE.
Obama is just another slimy liar, throwing everything under the bus, no morals, no integrity, no honesty.
Can’t say that about Ralph Nader – he has NEVER changed his tune. You don’t have to when you’re honest about what you want to say, and say it.
Sorry Mr. Nader, our forebearers of the for the people party have been utterly and completely BETRAYED, and now the democrats, in these last 7 years have ABSOLUTELY DRIVEN THE POINT HOME, THE STAKE RIGHT THROUGH THE HEART OF THE INNOCENT – WE THE PEOPLE.

Run , Nader , Run…
We need all the help we can get to make sure Obama does not stand a chance in this election …He can not be trusted . NO experience , no set agenda , cartering to all sides for vote , empty rhetorics…so he is not qualified to be pres..
so , fill out your election papers ,
Run ,Nader , Run.

Ralph Nader needs to just go away. He has been a marginal public figure for over a decade now and has zero standing with independents that Obama is gathering. Nader is a has-been blow hard.

Well, at least someone can hear what Obama is really saying and what he is uncapable of instead of all this popularity crap! The real issue is, is Obama really capable, does he have the experience, is he honest? Obama possesses not of these!

Brilliant thinker? Ummm, no. Brilliant reader? Maybe.

“People who have fought the civil rights battle — politically, economically, legally — as we have since the 50′s”
WE? Ralhp Nader fought the civil rights battle? LOL! That tickles me pink. As we have since the 50′s. Give me a greak.

The people who voted for Nadar in 2000 & 2004 got what they deserved, Bush & Chaney, aka Dumb & Dumber.

Ralph Nader could have chosen different words, but if you read through them you can understand what he is trying to say and where his frustration stem from. People write Nader off without considering what this two-party system is doing to our country. Nader is an honest liberal with good ideas about how to take care of people first then business. I don’t see why that’s so objectionable. Isn’t it time we tried some new ideas? For those of us who aren’t part of the plutocracy, wouldn’t you like someone who has fought for consumer rights, and will look out for your rights over the special interests? People who write Nader off without an intelligent though are incredibly naive and ignorant – you all deserve to go down in this sinking ship I call the USA.

It seems that Nader wanted a stereotype more than a real person. It’s sad that Nader’s view of a black president appears to be someone who thinks and talks like he thinks a person should think or act. Obama is like many black people today, not of the civil rights era and it’s time that we as a nation moved on. I find Nader’s comments the height of disrespect and find it equally interesting that he would spend so much time criticizing Obama without offering a substantive critique of McCain. Go away Ralph you are as irrelevant as Jesse.

Ralph Nader is a kook who craves attention and has no relevance. Nader accused Obama of “trying to act white”. How insane is that? It is racist and divisive. Ralph Nader needs to join the ranks of Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson – folks whose time has come and gone. Nader is a petty and bitter man. A vote for him is a wasted vote.

Calm down Ralph – if Dennis Kucinich has anything to say about impeachment for Bush, his petition on his website will at least get some hearings. Half or more of America hates Bush and would completely support impeachment. Bush is responsible for many crimes against the Constitution.

Yadda, Yadda, Ralph. Same ole grump, same ole message. Nothing but a spotlight-seeking wanna-be…

Hopefully, Nader won’t blow another election for progressives. His argument that candidates from either party are the same doesn’t hold water. Without Nader, we would have had Gore instead of Bush as President in 2000. Had that happened, we would be living in a very different world. I don’t understand how any thinking person could view Gore in the same light as Bush.

Nader will not help anther Republican this time around. Time to say goodnight Ralph Nader.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!
GET OFF MY LAWN!
I’M NOT IRRELEVANT!
I’m Ralph Nader and John McCain, and I approve this message.

So there is certain type of black president that people will accept? What type is that exactly? What? – the kind who will simply sit in that chair and let others run the show. President in name only.
Really people, Obama didn’t set out to be the first black president of the United States Of America. He set out to be the President of America because he can.
YES WE CAN!

correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t nader partially responsible for helping this most impeachable of all presidents in the saddle? are these bitter tears supposed to be some form of atonement?

I DID vote for Ralphie in 00-nerd Gore is too moderate for me…and both me and Nader oppose the War on Drugs. But Ralphie is more and more like Kucinich. A half-black antiwar anti CEO prez like Obama is a wet dream for me (though I supported Hillary in primaries) and I will NOT blow it by voting 3rd party. No more anti-choice Ayatollahs on the Supreme Court!!!
