1. You'd turn way more people away
I think, than you'd ever hope to gain. What makes you suggest it?

14. just simply to stop votes from bleeding away from us
Nader's policies are not a problem per se, it's that he will take votes away from Kerry that could cause us to lose the election again. This would be tragic.

2. I'd be agin it.
Now, if the Green's candidate for president were suggested, I might consider it.

3. No Thank you
He is an egotistical loose cannon. His views and some of his policies are definetly attractive and should be on the platform, but as a trustworthy person he has lost all credibility.

5. No, how about Nader for Bush's VP
Edited on Thu Mar-18-04 10:17 AM by Woodstock
After all, he's helping him win, and that's what a VP does.

In Pennsylvania Bush and Kerry are neck and neck in a two way.

With Nader in the race, Bush beats Kerry.

Nader is not a Democrat. The Democratic ticket is for Democrats.

Nader enabled the death and destruction of the last 4 years, and he's hell bent on another 4 years of it.

Go to hell, Ralph Nader. The sooner, the better. This is war. I want my country back, and you are in the way.

6. GOP strategy
...has been to select truly appalling running mates as life insurance for their main guy. Nader would do the same for Kerry.

Other than that, it would be a disaster.

7. Nader is to the Democrats what Bush is to world peace.
Absolutely no Nader ticket. He should be done with it and endorse *.

8. If Nader accepted, I'd be upset.
And I'd call him a sellout.
