Ralph Nader urges Hillary Clinton to continue.

[Eraserhead]

Who's got her back?


A startling ally is calling on Senator Clinton to resist suggestions that she consider abandoning the presidential race: Ralph Nader, the independent presidential candidate who arguably cost Al Gore the presidency in 2000.

Nader has released a statement reacting to comments by Sen. Patrick Leahy (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"

I'm looking foward to seeing BRTD's response to this.

LOL same here.

[J. J.]

Now she has an excuse to stay in. 

[AltWorlder]

Nader really has mutated into a living embodiment of electoral chaos these days, hasn't he?

"That’s just political bigotry. "

LOL!!

"That’s just political bigotry. "

LOL!!

Hmmm, so that's what Nader thinks about the calls for him not to run in 2004 and 2008...

I think a vast majority of people on the Forum are looking forward to BRTD's response. Including myself

[Mr. Morden]

Why would there be any suspense as to what BRTD's response would be?  He hates both Clinton and Nader, so his response is pretty easy to predict.

It's all about the delivery.

I admit I viewed this thread for this purpose.

Hillary better renounce this SOB IMMEDIATELY or else she's proven she's not a true Democrat once and for all. Hell I would actually gain respect for her if she did drop out just to spite this human trash. Which she won't, because she's a Republican just like him.

This proves it: ALL REAL DEMOCRATS SUPPORT OBAMA.

[Aizen]

Hmm...

5/10

I've been staying up all night just for this even though it's my sister's graduation tommorrow morning and she's in Philadelphia and I'm going to miss it now.

just kidding...

Seriously though, Hillary should reject this because she still has an infinitely better shot at winning than Nader ever did. It's a complete insult to her.

So your behavior is disgusting on DU as well?

[SPQR]

Well,he'd get way more votes if Hillary were the Democratic candidate so it kinda makes sense...

[Eraserhead]

That's a bit harsh. I'll give it a 7.2/10.

Oh, wow. If all the Hillary backers aren't real Democrats then the GOP is clearly the largest party in America right now. If all Hillary backers aren't real Democrats, my party has control of the House and the Senate.

I love it, little Zach. You're the precious little gift that keeps on giving.

nader is an american patriot.

im sure like most normal people he is sick to his stomach with the free ride obama has received.

everyone should just move out of the way and throw rose petals at obama.

hell, mccain should drop out too.  how dare he stand in the way of the great obama.  he is obviously being a divisive (white) son of a bitch.

Anyways...back to reality.

Nader is irrelevant, and anything that benefits him or the destruction of the dems is his number one priority. He needs to just go away..buy some land in Florida and chill. Isnt that what old decrepit people nowadays do?

How am I disgusting just being outraged by Hillary and Nader, both extremely vile human beings?

They aren't Republicans, they belong to the Green Party by proxy. Hillary supporters are not Democrats but rather Greens.

Whether you're speaking literally or metaphorically, this is one of the worst arguments I've ever seen.
