It’s both sad and funny to watch some of the fiascoes that occur in the political arena.
This last weekend Ralph Nader stated he was going to run again for President and immediately comments are made how he is the reason Gore failed… or how he is going to take votes away from someone else who is more deserving… Isn’t this insane?

Nader enters in boon to GOP - Mike Allen and Ben Smith - Politico.com

Ralph Nader announced on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he’ll run as a third-party, anti-corporate candidate for president this fall, which would be likely to drain votes from the Democratic nominee and provide a huge boon to Republicans.

Democrats say they will work behind the scenes — and use court challenges, if necessary — to try to thwart his access to ballots.

Whatever happened to the open arms and everyone should have the ability to attempt to become President ideals that I grew up with? What became with the teachings that our government was designed that anyone could grow up and become President? Is everything going the way of the one person, one vote principle that seems to have been lost and now “super-delegates” and the “electoral college” makes the decision of whom our leaders will be instead of the people?

The immediate question for Democrats is whether they’ll be as ruthless as they were in 2004 in throwing procedural obstacles in the way of Nader’s access to the ballot in key states.

Nader has a pending lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee on the issue and recently told Politico that he would make ballot access a central cause of a presidential campaign, which he restated on television Sunday morning.

He also said Sunday that he saw some overlap between his positions and those of libertarian-leaning Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Why are Dems so afraid of this person? When ever you read something about Ralph Nader and the vote, it seems as if he will be taking votes from Democratic Presidential nominees not from Republican nominees why is that? And what is this underhanded tactic of using the court system to stop someone from getting onto a ballot? Why would people stoop to those type of measures?
Is the person we want to be President of our Nation this type of person… someone who is not willing to fight the good fight but goes about trying to find loopholes in a vain attempt to stop a potential rival from being elected?
