One Million Strong Against Ralph Nader
In 2004 Nader got 465,650 votes. I think we can easily get this many people to join a facebook group in 2008 opposing him. If this does not get him to reconsider his decision to run for President, it will certainly make him the joke that he is.

Please join the facebook group http://willamette.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11044107844&ref=share">One Million Strong Against Ralph Nader(you will have to login to join) and recommend this post so that as many people as possible tell Nader what America really thinks of him.

In 2000, George W. Bush was elected by Ralph Nader and five conservative supreme court justices, all of whom thought their opinion meant more than that of the American people. In 2004, the Green Party refused to nominate Nader again because they recognized that George W. Bush was ruining our country. Nader ran anyway, funded by Republicans who liked the way in which Bush was destroying our country and wanted 4 more years of death and destruction. Nader was more than willing to help them divide and conquer.

After 8 years of George W. Bush's failed policies, we as a nation recognize the need for a progressive Democrat to unite the country, repair the damage, and bring about fundamental change.

Ralph Nader is a road block to such progress, and the progressive coalition which will unite behind the Democratic nominee for President.

Join http://willamette.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11044107844&ref=share">One Million Strong Against Ralph Nader and tell him what America really thinks of his inflated ego.

1. I don't think Ralph will be a factor in this election. Yes he was in 2000,
but he has become irrelevant. Just don't vote for the idiot!

2. i have to agree
nader is not the problem. never was. people who VOTE FOR HIM are. that's not a distinction without a difference. his power solely rests with those who would throw away their vote for the dem candidate and put it in his useless vote coffer.

4. 72 million Dems, 55 million Reps, 42 million Inds.
What makes you think one million of anything is going to impress him?

Is this what Facebook is? Virtual be-ins for people with bad math?

7. Ever Heard Of Harold Stassen??
In the 40's, he was the darling of the GOOP...almost won the nomination and then overstayed his party and welcome...the perenial candidate and laughing stock. Ralph has now joined that club.

Anyone taking Nader's candidacy seriously wouldn't be voting for a Democrat this year. I see a lot of disgruntled Paulbots heading his way...and Ralph will gladly take their money.

There a different "math" at work in this election than in '00 and '04...the momentum and numbers are behind the Democratic party...and Nader wlil do more to hurt the GOOP as that party scisms into oblivion in November.

To put it nicely...Go Away Ralph...Go Far, Far Away...

8. If O and HRC don't want Nader in, they can disavow completely the corporate influence.
That's the only reason Nader is in. If Edwards had been the candidate, he wouldn't have run and said so.

9. I think (hope) that Nader will be totally a nonfactor in 2008
From 2000 to 2004, his share of the popular vote fell precipitously. People wised up and saw the absurdity of his charges that there was no difference between Democrats and Republicans.

In 2008, that decline will continue. Nader is doing nothing except sullying what was once a noble record.

Many conservatives, uneasy about McCain, will emulate dimwitted progressives in 2000 and vote for a third party (possibly Libertarian, possibly the Constitution Party). I predict that at least one of those candidates will outpoll Nader in 2008. He will finish no higher than fourth.

Nader's main visibility this year will be the occasional shot of him in a parking lot outside a Presidential debate, bemoaning his exclusion. Get a grip, Ralph. Just declaring yourself to be a candidate doesn't get you a legal or moral right to extensive free airtime.

10. Kucinich was the only progressive Democrat. There are none on the current ballot.
At least Nader will bring progressive Democratic issues back into the spotlight so that no one will get into office without at least having had to listen to, one last time before doing zero about them, the words impeachment, patriot act, iraq invasion, corporate personhood, treasury looting, disaster capitalism, etc.

Please demand that your candidate make these issues the centerpiece of their campaign. Nader is running because no one else will talk about these imperative issues. The country won't change much if nothing happens regarding them.

I am part of the underground of democratic underground. Impeach now and save the nation. Don't let laughing boy and his Saudi friends walk away from this, and leave oil at over $100 a barrel.

12. Why not set these million persons to sign Wexler's impeachment petition?
