It's Official, Ralph Nader Gets Off On Democrats Losing
Here <a href="http://www.thepersonalispolitical.com/2008/02/i-dont-know-how-to-put-this-ralph-nader.html">I just thought Ralph Nader was a dumbass who wasn't aware of the consequences of his actions</a> (or just didn't care). <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0308/Whos_got_her_back.html">Turns out</a>, he gets his jollies off of watching the Democrats go down in a ball of flames:
<blockquote>
Nader has released a statement reacting to <a href="http://www.thepersonalispolitical.com/2008/03/senator-leahy-to-hillary-withdraw-and.html">comments by Sen. Patrick Leahy</a> (D-Vt.) suggesting an apparently insurmountable lead by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.):
"Senator Clinton:
"Just read where Senator Patrick Leahy is calling on you to drop out of the Presidential race. Believe me.
I know something about this. Here’s my advice: Don’t listen to people when they tell you not to run anymore. That’s just political bigotry.
"Listen to your own inner citizen First Amendment voice. This is America. Just like every other citizen, you have a right to run. Whenever you like. For as long as you like.
"It’s up to you, Hillary. Just tell them — It’s democracy. Get used to it.
"Yours truly, Ralph Nader"
</blockquote>
Isn't that sweet? The ultimate loser, no chance in hell of winning candidate has become the spiritual mentor of the next up in coming loser, no chance in hell of winning candidate.
<blockquote>
"Listen Hillary, even though there is no way you can win without hijacking the democratic process and disenfranchising hundreds of thousands, if not a million voters, and even though you staying in this race is only helping the Republicans get yet another turn at the White House, you go girl! You don't have to drop out if you want to be a spoiler, look at me! If you want to destroy the Democratic Party's chances in November, you go right ahead! I did, and I f**kin' loved it!"
</blockquote>
Wonderful. It looks like she is in great company. They should join a "We like to screw the Democratic Party out of spite" Club. They could do bake sales and earn badges.
