grouchy, bitter old man! And, in 2012 he'll be that much older!

If I'm not mistaken, Ralph is still alive.  

He has been running for President forever and every time we elect someone else and end up regretting it.

And he is the only candidate that was right about something.  He advocated air bags back in the 70s when everybody said it was a terrible idea, including me.  Now I wouldn't buy a car with fewer than 6 airbags.

Lets just admit we are all wrong, and vote for Nadar.  You know you want to.  Just to see what would happen.  

I'm pretty sure that in addition to airbags, he invented the shaven pussy too.  Don't quote me on that.

If he had won, then I'd bet that

1) we wouldn't be at war in Iraq or Afghanistan.
2) we would have pulled our troops immediately out of the Middle East, which would mean that..
3) 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

Furthermore, safeguards would be put in place to prevent such disasterous adventures when Nader's Justice Department would have prosecuted Albright for war crimes.

On the economic front:

1) Enron wouldn't have happened. The Nader administration would have used Taft Hartley to prevent such monopolistic activties in business. Which would mean that...
2) The Housing bubble and crash wouldn't have happened.  
3) The Nader administration would have put a stop to free trade, so this country wouldn't have lost 42,000 factories, along with all those jobs.
4) Because of this, China would not be any significant national security threat and
5) They wouldn't own trillions of US debt that they can use against us as a bargaining chip. Which of course, would mean that...
6) Unemployment would be far lower than it is today.

On the national security front:

1) We wouldn't have Patriot Act
2) We wouldn't be the embarrassment of the world by setting up a Gulag in Cuba
3) We wouldn't have a wasteful Homeland Security administration, which would mean...
4) We wouldn't get felt up by the TSA.

In other words, if Nader had won, we'd likely be living in a time of peace, prosperity, and liberty. In my book, that beats having a retarded President that you can drink with.

...speaking of which, do you think he was a guy that you could drink with, or was it that when he opened his mouth, any rational person would have to gasp, "Dear Jesus, somebody give me a drink."

I agree, though maybe the picture you painted is a little rosy.  Plus I don't really think of Obama as a retarded President that you can drink with.  I'm not sure he drinks.

They are all angry old men.  Nadar is just older and the veneer is wearing thin.  I thought transparency was a good thing?
