He also made a big difference in 2000. In fact, I think he made a huge difference in the lives of thousands of Iraqis and American soldiers. Granted, not a positive difference… I think Ralph Nader should retroactively be named man of the year for 2000. He could join such august figures as Hitler, Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Putin.

Bush stands for his beliefs too. So did all the aforementioned people. I submit that merely standing by your beliefs is a piss-poor reason to like somebody.

McCains success may be upsetting Bloomberg’s presidential plans:

Nader is well more liberal than me, but a lot of the issues he raises and other third party candidates raise can be important. Bloomberg also wouldn’t be ‘fringe’ if he ran.

Also, no matter what you say about Nader’s chances of winning, at least being in the race can help him set up challenges to ballot access and debate inclusion; and could help set up the viability of third party runs in the future, by more mainstream candidates who aren’t billionaires

I don’t agree with Nader on a lot of issues, but I do respect the man. All his life he has served people. He has, whether you like it or not, made a big difference from, say, 1960-1985.

I don’t agree with him, but he stands for his beliefs.
