From the Baltimore Sun:
Dismissing criticism that his Green Party candidacy helped elect President Bush in 2000, Ralph Nader said yesterday that he is weighing a bid for the White House next year.
The veteran consumer activist, whose third-party presidential campaign drew 2.8 million votes in the last election, criticized Democrats for not aggressively challenging the Bush administration's economic policies and its handling of corporate fraud. The party's candidates, he said, have not shown that they are a sound alternative to Bush ...... Speaking to reporters at a breakfast meeting, Nader said he would decide by year's end whether to launch another presidential campaign. If he does, Nader said he would run as an independent or as a Green Party candidate.
I wish Nader would run with Cynthia McKinney as his running mate.

Being a resident of San Francisco, I can tell you that Cynthia McKinney's statements sound like verbatim echoes of what you would hear from any one of the air headed robotic liberals in this burg given the same circumstances.
Collectively, they bring to mind those cyborg types in the "I, Mudd" episode of the original Star Trek series.
I'm 23 years old and still waiting for an original idea to come from the mouths of Liberal thinkers. In our society today Liberals are spending far too much time attacking BUSH and absolutely no time in developing alternatives.
Posted by: Jeff MacMillan at July 16, 2003 01:39 PMThe truth is people respond to attack ads. Why are reality shows all over tv? Because people watch them. Why do attack ads work? Beacuse people watch and remember them. Both crap, both trash. However, consumers demand them. Lets face it, most people are not interested in politics. They form their opinion by listening to a 30 second commercial. Whoever seems weak they dont vote for. Especially now in this day in age. Obviously us on this board enjoy politics. We investigate and we form our own opinions.
