2. Playing right into the teabaggers hands
Weather you like what Obama is doing or not, it does not matter if you have bought into the rhetoric or not. A primary challenge will do one thing and one thing only.

Weaken the incumbent!

6. Perhaps the incumbent would have been better served not to have left so much room to his left..
If Obama is primaried (which I don't think is going to happen) it's going to be from the left of the Democratic party and not the right.

If Obama had not moved so hard and fast to the right there would be far less talk of his being primaried.

26. Exactly!
People need to wake up already. Nader is a puppet(albeit an unwilling one) for the GOP and their controllers & allies.

29. GOP donors funding Nader

GOP donors funding Nader / Bush supporters give independent's bid a financial lift



Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader -- still not on the ballot in a single state -- has received a recent windfall of contributions from deep-pocketed Republicans with a history of big contributions to the party, an analysis of federal records show.

Nearly one in 10 of Nader's major donors -- those writing checks of $1, 000 or more -- have given in recent months to the Bush-Cheney campaign, the latest documents show. GOP fund-raisers also have "bundled" contributions -- gathering hefty donations for maximum effect to help Nader, who has criticized the practice in the past.

The donations from wealthy Republicans -- combined with increasingly vocal Democratic charges that they represent a stealth GOP effort to wound Democrat John Kerry -- prompted Nader's vice presidential running mate, Green Party member Peter Camejo, to suggest the consumer advocate reject the money that doesn't come from loyal Nader voters.

10. Nader turns to Green Party funders for help in getting message out
Typical. The frustrati are getting more and more open about where their support really comes from.

31. No! Really? People who run for president have egos?? Say it ain't so!
But, I would venture that his ego greed is far less than the vast majority of politicians who run for office.

16. How much do you bet Nader gets paid to show up every 4 years,
and then disappear into oblivion between elections? The man's a joke.

23. You had respect at one time, Mr. Nader. Now you seem to simply want attention.
Sorry, but that is how I see it.

24. Who would vote for Nader? Democrats!
And every Dem vote for Nader is a vote Obama needs but won't get.

Do you really want a Republican in the White House? Yeah, Obama has disappointed us to say the least. But I'd rather have him their than some insane person like Perry, Bachmann, or any of the rest of the sick, despicable Republican zoo currently running for the job.
