From the AP:
Ralph Nader said Sunday he will meet with John Kerry next month to discuss the effort to defeat Bush in the November election.
While stressing he still is a competitor in the race the independent hopeful said he views his candidacy as a "second front against Bush, however small."
Following a speech on the environment at Georgia State Univ. Nader stepped up his attacks against Bush, describing the Repuglican incumbant as a "giant corporation residing in the white house camouflaging as a human being."
He went on, "George W. Bush's values are corporate values," Nader told reporters, and he said the administration should spend more time waging peace..than waging a military conflict."
In response to Nader's comments, Bush campaign spokeman Reed Dickens said Bush welcomes debate with Nader and Kerry.

Nader is making Bush look sane lately. Im sorry I voted for Ralph the last time, but the man needs some focus. First he wants to meet with Kerry, but to compete with him, but to tell him how to do things better.
Then the other part of the article left out is that hes been talking to the Reform Party chairman about running on their platform to "pool resources". I think that means use them and bleed them dry.
Then another paragraph went on to state Nader is forming a Populist Party in the state of NC, to help get around their strict voting laws.
How many parties can one man run under at one time?

and his insistence that his candidacy is actually a "blow against W.Bush" because it opens up a "second front against Bush, however small."
Is he serious? I thought Nader was a harvard man. I thought he was smarter than that. Our system is a presidential, winner take all system. We don't have a parliamentary multi party winners vs the ruling party scenario.
It doesn't matter how many fronts Nader purports to open up against Bush. If it distracts Kerry from beating W.Bush, it counts as a hindrance and not a boost.

Speaking of Nader, the pinhead will be the guest on CNN's Crossfire, which airs in less than 30 minutes. I am going to hear what he has been up to.

Nader reminds me of a fence sitter, who tries to straddle both sides of the fence. I do like the line he used again that Shrub is a "corporation, masking itself as a human being who needs to be sent back to Crawford Texas," which got a great round of applause.

You know...
I have to laugh at you lefties everytime ya'all bitch about the big nasty corporations.
90% of Ya'all need to take a look around, GUESS WHO YOU WORK FOR... GUESS WHO YOU BUY FROM!
Sheesh, it doesnt take a Ivy League Grad to realize that if you raise taxes by 10% on the big nasty corporations... the price of goods, amount of a raise is adjusted to get that payment.
Hence, we are the ones who pay for it...
Then again, I wouldnt think most of you would understand that... but fear not, most community colleges offer classes in things like this.

I guess I must be part of the other 10% because I DONT WORK FOR ONE

But I guess it does take a \"Ivy Leauge Grad\", (one who happens to be an idiot) to think that if you cut taxes \"10%\" that it will trickle down. When is that going to kick in, by the way?
