Democrats: Is there ANY scenario in which you would possibly vote for Nader?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Do you think they would be supporters of James Dobson?

No.

You do realize I'm defending Nader because the way you treat him is the scorn usually reserved by Medevil popes and slave-owners for uppity types. Even in the "Opinion of Ralph Nader" thread I described him as a hypocrite. Of course that was over Halliburton, I'm wondering what exactly Nader said about Dobson. If he said that Dobson is just showing concern at the level of Violence, sex, etc in the media then I agree. If he called for new goverment (or private) laws to be put in place, then I fully, fully disagree.

But there are much bigger political issues.

Nader forged an alliance with Dobson to attack the Democrats over ties to the gambling industry:

Wait a minute, So Nader and Dobson happened to agree on one thing and wrote a letter together comdemning one of the world's most famous vices, which destroys communities and lives every year and questioned a corrupt political system where this parasatic industry can flourish and often gain access to the highest levels of political power and can have a serious say on actual policy... AND this is a bad thing?

Straha is right for once, you're a total hypocrite - your politics is all about protecting your vices under the name of liberalism.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

What can I say? BRTD is obsessed with strip clubs, gambling and booze at the expense of all other issues.

[Joe Republic]

Exactly. He made himself irrelevant and destroyed any clout he had as an activist. So what was the point?

Furthermore, Nader didn't challenge or damage the two-party system, he SOLIDIFIED it. Nader destroyed any possibility of a strong third party candidacy similar to Perot for 20 years at leasts.

Once again, you completely missed my point.  As I've already shown you - and you've agreed - Ralph Nader is now entirely irrelevant.  And yet you've created 83 threads so far that are either about him or mention him in some way.

Why are you *still* talking about him?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Nader who?

I don't gamble much actually. Usually I only do if I'm with my brother and he wants to since my brother is a super-gambler (who by the way supports Ron Paul on this issue alone. Basically one of his buddies told him Ron Paul wants to abolish all regulations on gambling and my brother was behind him 100%) or if I'm visiting the local casino with someone (usually my parents. I wonder what the "family values" crowd thinks of that!). I just support the right of people to do what they want with their money instead of having government act as this huge nanny-state and forcing banks to block financial transactions to online gambling sites (even though as my brother can tell you, it's not working. There's still a million loopholes he's using and he's still banking on online poker almost every night). Which the most liberal Democrats in Congress opposed. Extreme liberal Barney Frank has been one of the toughest advocates for the gambling industry.

I just dislike prudish alliances with the religious right to limit freedom.

Probably conditioning from DU. He still gets trashed daily there.

That's nice, but here in the world of the sane and rational, people are getting extremely tired of your obsession with something that officially stopped being important nearly three years ago.

At least CARLHAYDEN's tedious pet issue is still politically relevant.
