But Ralph Nader will never win...



>>>If he's painted as a liberal, then he's been called unpatriotic, or at least "can not be trusted with national security" - which we heard echoed here just yesterday. If it was echoed here, it was out there for years. So rather than wait for the attack to get instantiated, he did a bit of pre-emptive strike... where did he learn that?
>>
>>Which, IMHO, means that liberals are vastly perceived as not being trustworthy on national security. Gosh, how did that happen?

>How do I know, wasn't in school that day, had a bad case of Sloba. In his school however, there were the well-meaning citizens on one hand (i.e. his own party, his wife's sort of a party, and his turbo edition Šešelj's party) and on the other hand there were forces of chaos and insanity, the foreign mercenaries and domestic traitors (i.e. everybody else). Life was simple.

>>>...because the even more naive stories were sold for the last eight years, and there were buyers, or else they wouldn't have been sold. At least Obama, no matter what a suck up he seems to be to, let's see - faith based groups, health insurance business, Israel, (someone fill the rest), at least he seems to be willing to set the discourse, to set the stage, to push his points and not just react to whatever is thrown at him. Which means that it may get interesting this time. I may even get some beer and popcorn.

>>I would think the opposite; Obama has no history of rising against the tide. McCain has a history of voting his principles even when it PO'ed the GOP. So who has a track record of doing the right thing and blowing off the party?
>
>So his campaign is already reversed about 170 degrees, closing in on 180 - he's opposing his own bill, he's reversed his position on just about nine of ten things that made him look like he may blow the party off. So he looks just equally falling into the same old track ("as campaign draweth near, start pandering to the right"), just like Obama did ("as campaign draweth near, start pandering to the right").

>The other day someone posted a link to Wikipedia's comparison tables... and Ralph Nader looks better than ever.
