Oh Ralph Nader, you fucking idiot.
Despite the fact that I agree with the fundamental idea that Americans SHOULD have more than two candidate choices, in general, all you have done is make John McCain a very happy man. Despite your extreme ignorance when you denied responsibility for George W. Bush's election... the fact is that 2-3% --DOES-- make a big difference these days. The fact that you're tired of hearing about it and want to move on just proves to myself (and hopefully the rest of America) that you really, simply do not know what you're talking about when it comes to politics.
Most of those foolish enough to vote for you are siphoned from those who WOULD HAVE voted for the democratic candidate. So in a country as evenly divided as ours, the only thing you are doing is making life easier for the republicans. And enabling the continuation of the status quo.
And hey, maybe you made a name for yourself as a consumer advocate 40-something years ago. But frankly I couldn't possibly care less. Do Americans really want or need yet another stubborn old white man calling the shots at this point? For chrissake, you're older than John McCain.
Honestly, time to go on the cart.
