Ralph Nader has decided to once again jump into the race for President. I was stunned watching the once respected Nadar, appearing on Meet The Press this morning, telling Tim Russert he was running for President. Fucking stunned I was. Not the announcement itself, that we all saw coming, but the incredible ego of it all. The man has no shame. There is not great movement for a Nadar campaign, just one man’s fragile ego. Nadar uses sketchy statistics from his website claiming that because the people agreed with the some of the policies he has up, he should run for president. Most of his issues are already being addressed by the Democrats, just not like Nadar wants them to be.

Russert asked Nadar if he should take the blame for siphoning votes away from Al Gore in 2000 effectively giving Bush the presidency. Nadar, the egotistical bastard, of course said no. Instead he blamed the Democrats, Republicans and everyone else that didn’t vote for him fro the ravages of the Bush administration. Nadar called the Bush/Cheney an administration with the possibility for multiple impeachment opportunities, but he blamed the Democrats in the Congress for Bush’s sins and the continuity of the Iraq war. Nadar forgets that if he hadn’t run in 2000 there would be no Iraq war.

Nadar refused to take any responsibility for putting his personal agenda ahead of the needs and desires of the country. Like in 2000 and his other attempts at running for president, Nadar has absolutely no chance to be elected. All Nadar is dong is massaging his fragile ego, pushing his notion that he can create a viable third party in America. Bullshit. He isn’t even backed by one. A third party in America would be a welcome addition to a stagnant political system, but Nadar is not the person to lead that movement.

All I can say is this. If you love your country and are angry and pissed about what has been done to it over the last seven years, do not cast a ballot for Ralph Nadar. Send Ralph a real message from the people. Take your ego and go home.
