Just wondering how many Republicans out there might be (like myself) strongly considering voting for Ralph Nader. While I strongly disagree with him on "social" issues like entitlement programs (welfare & such, state run health care), the death penalty, and affirmative action, he is the only candidate speaking out against Global free trade and outsourcing of tech jobs to foreign interests. He actually agrees with Pat Buchanan on many economic issues.
I will definitely NOT be voting for G. Bush, so it will be either Nader or the Libertarian candidate for me. How about you guys?
By the way, my idea of the perfect candidate would be a modified Pat Buchanan. That is to say, a pro-abortion, pro-prositution, pro-pornagraphy Pat (Pat without the religious hangups).
Ralph Nader Calls Israel a "Puppeteer" 12:30 Jun 30, '04 / 11 Tammuz 5764
(IsraelNN.com) On Tuesday, as broadcast on the American cable network C-Span, independent presidential candidate and environmental crusader Ralph Nader said the following:
"What has been happening over the years is a predictable routine of foreign visitation from the head of the Israeli government. The Israeli puppeteer travels to Washington. The Israeli puppeteer meets with the puppet in the White House, and then moves down Pennsylvania Avenue, and meets with the puppets in Congress. And then takes back billions of taxpayer dollars. It is time for the Washington puppet show to be replaced by the Washington peace show."
With comments like this, he will never be elected....I commend him for having the balls to make his feelings public. While I agree with his comments, I won't be voting for him.
I suspect Republicans for Nader is nothing more than Bush-voting Republicans who are trying to draw Kerry voters away from Kerry. Two Republican groups in Oregon have already come under fire for their efforts to get Nader on the ballot in Oregon.
This smacks of desparation on the part of the GOP.
I know you can't separate him from the hangups, I'm just saying it would be great if it were possible. Aside from the puritanical stuff, he has many terrific ideas.
For the record, I am not pro-abortion because I care about a woman's right to choose (I couldn't care less actually). Rather, I look at it this way: I'd rather spend $500 one time only than $2000/month for the next 18 years of my life!
Since I don't like either Almond Joy (Nader) or Mounds (Shrub), I'll sit back and enjoy a Milky Way, because the sky's the limit with Kerry. And remember, Milky Way has nougat and "Kerry"mel.
