Has entered the race as an Independent. I can hear the screams of anguish from the Democrats as I type this.

His influence has been diminishing over the years ever since he caused GW to get elected in 2000. Hopefully the brains of the Democrats or Liberals in general have grown some more since then.
Everyone should have learned from that fiasco that third party candidates are nothing but spoilers.

Hardly holds a candle to the endless squealing eminating from the Republican base over Ron Paul's absurd intrusion into the mainstream. Talk about a spoiler and, from my viewpoint, a disappointment. I've watched him in debate after debate and he just can't get off.
The very few stances he has that are laudable get him laughed off the stage (metaphorically speaking) due to his inability to command an audience and adequately verbalize his mission.
And really, though his stances on too many issues are such that I would never vote for him, he is brilliant in his assessment of this country's endless abuse of other's sovereignty worldwide.
I find myself clenching my hands, hoping beyond hope as he speaks, that the spirit of the abused and forgotten will help find the breach but, alas, it's naught but a sputtering spark.

Wow. Wasn't that a mouthful.
I'm sure our founding Fathers, having read your eloquent and resounding rebuttal of their logic providing all citizens of this great nation the right to run for office, are shocked at their resounding error in judgment...

Don't get me wrong. Ralph Nader is smarter than Hillary or Obama times 2. His work for the US consumer was excellent and should be applauded.
Our Founding Fathers were slave owners who also thought women were second class citizens and blacks were subhuman. So much for their judgement.....

I support Nader. He takes votes away from the democrats.

 

MasterCylinder

As a politician, that's what he does best.

Hardly, but then our opininions on this are why we get to vote.
Definitely
200 + yrs ago, so was the rest of the planet .
Our Founding Fathers navigated uncharted territory and brought forth a new millennium...

Yeah, personally, I'm not a fan of Nader, always thought he was kind of a moron.

Do a little research on someone before you call them a moron.

I've done my fair share of research.

I think he's a good person, and very intelligent, I just think he's not a politically savvy fellow, at all.
