Dingbat.OH GREAT, NADER IS ALSO HAVING A DENVER SUPER-DUPER RALLY: They’re churning out the e-mails over at Nader-Gonzales world headquarters today: “The Headquarters’ energy is fully concentrated on Nader’s “Open the Debates’ Denver Super Rally at the Magness Arena at 7 p.m. on Aug 27, during the Democratic National Convention. Ralph Nader … is currently at 6 percent in the latest CNN poll and on track to be on the ballot in 45 states.” [Vote Nader]

  1. How can he get 6% of the votes. I thought all the Muzzies were going with McCrack since they get free t-shirts. This guy won’t give you free t-shirts until the revolution begins comrades then free t-shirts for all. But t-shirts destroy the environment somehow (I’m sure…) so forget it

    For the next few months, I’d hate to be standing next to Ralph Nader. Just in case the shooter misses.

  3. JeffGoldblum says at 6:23 pm, August 12th, 2008

    This is Nader’s year, gang. Say hello to your new president.

    From that link:

    The page you requested is no longer here [error 404]

    … but we think we can help you

    (It’s probably because we’ve re-launched our web site for the 2008 election period!)

    This? Is hilarious. “2008 election period.” Sounds gross.

    Everyone should just stare at hot wet Olympic swimmer abs instead of being confused at Nader’s continued existence.

    Ralph Nader for President!

  7. Mr. Herpes says at 6:40 pm, August 12th, 2008

    So why is Nader such a sanctimonious prick? Did his mother get sore nipples and cut him off too early, forcing him to suck on a jug of Red Dye No. 5 Kool Aid? The man’s been pissed off at the world forever. Tell us again, Ralph, how there’s not a dime worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans. Nope, not a dime. Just 4,000 dead troops and thousands of dead Iraqis.

    I had a feeling Wonkette fell down and couldn’t get up, because I couldn’t access her for a half hour or so. So I went over to JohnInsane.com to surf the shop. The freaking homepage there features a sexy shot of Barry with some Gilligan’s Island font about how he’s got dreamy eyes. Not kidding. This is political discourse in 2008.

    …geez, did anyone see where I put the brain tumor ray?

    Hey, maybe Hillz can be his v.p.
    They’re both secret, wannabe republicans.

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 6:57 pm, August 12th, 2008

    The Nader-Barr-Paul debates are going to be the highlight of this election. I’d love to see them live, except for the fear of being the only straight, non-closeted and/or non-virgin in the room. Upon further reflection, I’m just going to stay home and drink.

  13. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 6:59 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Mystery solved. Ralph Nader is the Montauk Monster.

  14. slavojzizek says at 7:01 pm, August 12th, 2008

    6%? Yeah right. I’ll gladly wager $100 that Nader doesn’t break 1%. I see him coming in fourth this year, behind Bob Barr (who’ll get the Paultard vote, practically all Nader could’ve hoped for this year). In fact,he’ll fight for fourth place with Cynthia McKinney. Why does Nader hate Black women?

    tunamelt:
    Thank you, thank you.
    You are wonderfully servicey.

  16. PoliticalGraffiti says at 7:13 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Mr. Herpes: the differences are really very shallow. as soon as Obama gets elected, we’re moving in to Afghanistan, pulling troops out of Iraq way later, etc etc…the difference is merely in the symantics

  17. PoliticalGraffiti says at 7:21 pm, August 12th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: semantics. and im done.

  18. PoliticalGraffiti: They’re not really different? Well golly, then I hope WALNUTS! wins. I have a never ending supply of adult diaper jokes, but my ironic racist humor has worn a bit thin.

    Hmmm… I wonder when President Gore would have invaded Iraq? Maybe in April?

  19. Perot le fou says at 7:53 pm, August 12th, 2008

    @slavojzizek

    Nader will most likely get 4th place because he got the Peace and Freedom Party nomination in California. Otherwise McKinney would almost certainly beat him.

    On the retroactive double condition that McKinney got the P&F nomination and Chuck Baldwin got the AIP’s, I’d say 6th wasn’t out of the question.

  20. Sabre_Justice says at 8:55 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Ron Paul, your country needs you.

  21. wonk_the_heck says at 11:58 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Ralph was someone I used to admire when he was taking on the corporate interests.
    Since I don’t believe he’s stupid I have no other choice but to believe he’s
    gone to the dark side now.

    Seriously, he needs to either drop out or show his true tentacled self and run
    as a republican.

  22. How many times does he have to tell you…Ralph Nader THEN puppet show…

  23. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:37 am, August 13th, 2008

    Ron Paul and Ralph Nader and their respective Veeps have challenged Hopey and his Veep - John Edwards - to a steel cage, winner-take-all wrestling match. Winners get to drip candle wax and hogtie the losers; losers must clean out INVESCO Field at Mile High with toothbrushes and their tongues when it’s all over.

    John McSame and his Veep - Dan Quayle - are laughing their way to the Diebold vote counting party at an undisclosed secure location four floors below the Supreme Court chambers. There’s a cocktail party scheduled, hosted by Condie Rice and Alberto Gonzales.

  24. Aurelio says at 3:59 am, August 13th, 2008

    I’m not sure what good Nader’s running for President is, except to remind us of the impossibility of really changing the system except by use of mass violence, which, of course, is inconceivable.

  25. ReelectTilden says at 8:36 am, August 13th, 2008

    slavojzizek: I agree Nader won’t break 1%, but I’m not sure Barr beats him. Actually, I think Barr may finally succeed in destroying the Libertarian Party, proving once again that he is a secret Republican agent. And a mulatto.

  26. Dave J.: Ugh, I’ve got the worst cramps this election period. Still, as long as it’s not late…

    More important is where it says you might have gotten there because of “An out-of-date bookmark/favourite”. Really, Ralph? “Favourite”?

    We already have one Euro-homo-Muslim running, Mr. Nadir. Don’t split the vote.

  27. kentuckienne2 says at 11:53 am, August 13th, 2008

    Yesterday I was accosted by a 17-year-old collecting signatures to get Nader on the ballot in this municipality. In retrospect, I was more polite than I should have been.
