Ralph Nader on Why Ron Paul Is An Excellent Presidential Candidate

Trolls? WTF are those who spew the failed and mindless Marxist ideology referred to as?

Most probably a minor stroke. If you notice one side of his face is off-kilter. Seriously.

LOL! How about a Nader-Robertson third party ticket? It could be called the Asylum Party.

The media doesn't go to the polls. As long as a candidate can be heard they have a chance. Ultimately it's the people who decide. Gary Johnson didn't give up. He kept going until he got on the radar screen and invited to the party.

Early polls don't matter that much. Perry announced and shot to the top. Now he's looked like a deer in the headlights three times. He's been exposed on the HPV issue. He's been exposed on immigration. He may be exposed soon on his own Texas Solyndra style scandal. He's not the conservative people thought him to be.

True. Polls are really conducted to get whatever result the pollster wants. I knew someone who worked for a company, that offered polling services to campaigns. He said they would take maybe 15 polls from a random sampling of people who had land line phones ( which really only includes old folk everyone else usually just uses cell phones) but when they found the poll that supported the result they wanted that's the one they passed on to the campaign.

For the most part polls are meant to manipulate public opinion, not gauge it.

In order to qualify for the debate a candidate has to polling atleast 1%. Both Gary Johnson and Buddy Roemer have been doing that, yet have been excluded from past debates. Im glad Gary Johnson got invited I just cant help to think the media had an ulterior motive to bringing him in.

Ya hit the nail on the head with all of this. We can only hope that most people understand this.

I intially thought Perry might be okay, but as you said, seeing him look like an empty suit during the debates, along with the issues you pointed out, has really turned me off. As for Johnson, his line stolen from Limbaugh about the dogs creating more shovel ready projects than Obama, showed him to be devoid of original thought! The best man for the job so far is the Herminator, but since his skin is darker than the other candidates, the Leftists will brand him as an Uncle Tom. It will be a tuff decision to make, but any of them will be better than the Marxist in Chief and his high spending wife with her staff of 45 assistants. What pigs they are, reminds me of Marie Antoinette, "let them eat cake".

The man's a nut who lives in the ninteenth century. I wonder if he would accept chickens for an office visit, or a pie for delivering a baby?

Thank you, dagum. I'm always suspicious of these polls, especially the latest polls for Perry and Romney. You can manipulate statistics, that's why scientists have to verify other's results by doing the same experiment over and over again to try to get the same result. Even Einstein is being questioned lately , which is healthy.

It's beginning to look like a free-for-all. Why do you think they all seem to stay stagnant except for Perry and Romney? The polls are probably being manipulated to favor who they want. I don't like any of them, but I'm just saying......

Maybe you should listen to this again. What Ralph said about Ron Paul is true. But he didn't endorse Ron Paul.

Calling for the msm to provide better coverage to populist issues, many of which, Ron Paul professes, is not an endorsement.

Good point.

The extreme right/libetarian faction and the extreme left are almost touching! While the centrist left and centrist right continue the arguments of 100 years ago.

So the party bosses are ignoring Ron Paul to protect their own power.

Meanwhile we get such critical thinking as, "in my book, I said..."; "no you didn't!"; "but in my book, I said..." (aside) "its like badmitton".

NO, NO, NO. Its like bad debate! And stupid as a box of rocks candidates.

Sad but true! We are already in the idiocracy, the seeds were planted in the '70s! The big danger; those with intelligence and income have fewer and fewer children because they understand the financial responsibility, while the ignorant and indigent class has more and more children because the rest of us get to take care of their spawn, and they have no concern about the financial aspects. So, as the generations move on, the gene pool is continually weakend! So, Dr. Paul, being the most qualified, is not understood by the ignorant masses, and is feared by the intelligentsia Left.

The political spectrum is a circle, and the extreme ends of both wings do eventually touch.

Fact check:

President Al Gore surrendered to the Supreme Court. Ralph had nothing to do it.

Nader drew off votes that would have gone to Gore resulting in a tied election, hence Nader became a spoiler while decrying the conservative party.

Can anyone imagine where we would be now had that nut job been in the White White house for 4 years?!?!?

Exactly, that's why I signed a petition to make sure he was on the ballot, and sent him $50! My mantra was, "Run Ralph Run"!

No Nader didn't have any substantial impact on Gore...it was corruption in SCOTUS and voter fraud in Florida that conspired to deny him the presidency.

You had better get a text book on logic and do some studying.

unimatrixO was correct, Nader has become a spoiler, such behavior is illogical.

Where's the facts?
