It’s hard not to hate the guy (unless you’re a Republican). He’s an egomaniac who shows no apparent shame about popularizing the myth that there was little difference between Gore and Bush back in 2000, or about splitting the Democratic vote to make that year’s election tip ever so slightly towards Bush.
In fact, his attitude about this year’s election seems rather similar to the one he held eight years ago:
“I think it always would probably pull votes away from the Democrats and not the Republicans, so naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race,” Huckabee said Sunday on CNN.
But Nader — citing the Republican Party’s economic policies, the Iraq war, and other issues — told NBC, “If the Democrats can’t landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form.”
If Mr. Nader is truly confident that the Democrats will pull off a landslide given the favorable political climate, all I can say is that he’s seriously underestimating the Democratic Party’s ability to completely f— things up. Unless he’s simply trying to prove that it is time for the Democratic Party to take some time off and seriously reevaluate itself. Or unless his uber-point is that he doesn’t care who wins this election, because Democrats and Republicans are still all the same to him.
I just hope that he gets seriously destroyed this time around and the experience discourages him from ever running for office again.
