I was such a supporter and now that he is running again I just cannot believe it.

This makes me feel like...he doesn't really care about the American people he only cares about his own agenda, his own fame and his own name.

Why would he do this ? He knows he made Gore lose indirectly but...still and now he goes for it again?

I have lost total respect for him I no longer believe his is the honorable person that  I once thought he was. Sad. I feel let down.... hmmm figures just another politican.

kaydee,
I'd be as disappointed as you if Bush is re-selected, but I don't think Nader's decision has anything to do with the desire for fame and name. He is actually a pretty humble person.
Nor do I believe he "spoiled" the election with his 3% of the votes. We did not have an election to begin with, Bush was selected, and I believe it was rigged.
I think Nader is running because we currently have two parties that are different cheeks on the same flabby ass who are doing nothing for "the people"... unless of course one defines "people" as corporations.
I think he cares very deeply. Third parties must run. If for no other reason, it gives us the pulse of the people. We need options, that's how change happens. If no one ran, nothing would ever change. Unfortunately, there are many that would prefer to have Nader or Kucinich but who won't voice their true choice with a vote because they'd rather have the left cheek running things than the right.

Sorry dear. I don't claim to have coined the phrase. I read it somewhere, liked it, and use it. Where I don't remember- could very well have been in one of your posts. Are you wanting credit? Or would you prefer I not use it.

Thanks for indulging me..no, I don't want credit (I guess I already sorta got it) and feel free use it all you want...in fact, the more the better..

BTW Deborah, Your insight (here on Fornits') is much appreciated.. :tup:
