I have to agree with Nader. Obama talks a good game, but when has he ever been the one on the line? It's hard to get excited about McCain, but at least we know what he has done for the country. And at least Palin had the guts to put herself in the hotseat as governor. But Obama is totally untried--by his own choice he has never put himself in the driver's seat, and I don't think the presidency is the right place to test your guts. If elected, I pray that he find some guts.
Obama sold out before he bought your votes. Ralph Nader in 2012!!
Why would anyone give a shit what Nader thinks? The guy's the biggest egomaniac in the Western Hemishere. Oh yeah, and three time loser.
Actually, Nader is a four-time loser now. He lost in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. Not to mention that his performance at the polls is shrinking. He got 3% in 2000, <1% in 2004, and down to 0.5% in 2008. Oh and he's the same age as John McCain, so I doubt he'll get any traction as an elderly candidate in 2012.
