He’s Baaaaack!!!
Cicadas come to serenade us every seventeen years; gypsy moths seem to plague our trees on another regular interval as well. And so, every four years, like those other insects, Ralph Nader comes out of his cocoon to announce a run for President.
I’ve suggested that “the enemy of Ralph Nader is my friend“. Ralph it seems, never met a Republican candidate he hasn’t preferred to a Democrat, whether that Democrat is Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry… or at present, it seems, Barack Obama (or conceivably Hillary Clinton).
And so here we go again. This is mostly a free country, and certainly, any crackpot with money or the ability to get it can mount a run for President. And Ralph is no exception. The question, of course, is why trying to get a Republican elected is always the superior option, as far as Ralph is concerned.
Well, you’ll just have to ask Ralph about that. Say this for the Republicans (in stark contrast to the miserably inefficient Democrats): they KNOW how to get those checks out the door, on time.
