You make me wanna Ralph! (New inductee into the Society for Elliptical Reasoning!)
The Democratic Party shuddered with the memory of losing New Hampshire and Florida in the 2000 General Election when Ralph Nader decided he would once again run for President, this time as an independent, not a nominee of the "Cute Little Enviro-Commies," er Green Party. Yes, even the Greens wizened up as they realized that the only green that the Bush White House sees is the cash in their bank account and stock portfolio. Somewhere along the way, the Gore defeat allowed for a White House that has no recognition of the word "Protection" in the acronym EPA.
As usual Nader dropped his lines about the two-party system and corporate interests running Washington with no difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Ralphie Boy is now the newest inductee into the Verbal Jazz Society for Elliptical Reasoning because:
1. He claims that the primary goal is to beat Bush. Any idiot, and idiot is not a word I bandy about lightly, can see that votes going to Nader would more than likely go to the Democrat in a true "Lesser of Two Evils Contest" (New Verbal Jazz Glossary Term) or, as you may know it, general election. Nader seeks a Lesser of Two Evils With a Throwaway "Message Vote" Contest. If he really cared about not seeing Bush in the White House, Ralphie Boy wouldn't run.
2. Nader claimed that those who tried to convince him not to run were violating his First Amendment rights. So, Ralphie Boy, someone asking you not to run is violating your right to free speech by asserting their own right to free speech? Do we have the same First Amendment? Now holding a gun to your head and saying, "Don't run or we'll break your motherf***** legs," would be a violation of your First Amendment rights.
Now Nader's critics (especially Rev. Al, who supported Nader in 2000) might also become new inductees into the Verbal Jazz Society for Elliptical Reasoning because they claim that Nader is running for "selfish" reasons. Last time I checked Verbal Jazz noted that running for elected office is inherently selfish (as is blogging). It takes some brass cajones (or lack of self awareness) to believe that one is up to the job of President. Verbal Jazz will revisit this topic...let Nader win at least one vote..into the Society for Elliptical Reasoning!
