Ralph Nader's ambitions

Post 1

Old and vain, Ralph Nader needs the political spotlights to comfort him, while he knows that his efforts will never succeed and at least one time, but I would say two times, we would not have a Republican president if he would not have stepped in.

I do not want to say that my reaction now, would be for any "independant". Most of the times I would have voted for them.

But Nader is far to left to ever win and in the current circumstances it will be a very close race between Rep. and Dem.

I always vote at a social democratic party in The Netherlands.

I would never vote for a Republican, but I must say that I feel tempted to vote at Mc Cain, because he once was a serious and inspiring "independant". Ten years earlier it was someone else as Independent who was also a charismatic person with fresh ideas and political attitude.

Most of my sympathy anno 2008 is for the Democrats (boths, Obama and Clinton) but I'll leave that for what it is.

That two party system is suffocating.

Without Ralph Nader we had had (or still have) Al Gore.
One is not only responsable for the principles, but also for the results of one's actions.
