Nader Runs For President...Again

This morning on NBC's "Meet the Press," Ralph Nader once again announced that he will run for president as a third-party candidate.

He said he wishes to bring issues to the table that have been largely ignored by the two major political parties like single payer health care, stopping corporate greed, and further rights for labor unions.

Many Democrats still hold a grudge against him for costing Al Gore the 2000 election by taking many key votes away from him in Florida and New Hampshire. He won 2.7% of the vote nationwide as the Green Party candidate.

He did not make as big of a splash when he ran as an independent in 2004, receiving just 0.3% of the national vote. His presence almost went unnoticed that year.

Now, he is running again as an independent, and will likely take away votes from Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

If the election becomes very close and comes down to one two states--like it did in 2000 and 2004--and he causes the Democrats to lose again, he will never be forgiven.

Now, for my opinion. If you are a supporter of Ralph Nader, please stop reading now.

Ralph Nader is nothing but an attention-deprived selfish nuisance who looks to spoil the election yet again for the Democrats.

I think I speak for all Democrats--and most Americans--when I say that Ralph Nader has no business in running for president and should stay out of presidential politics forever.
