The Circus gets more fun!

Remember the 2000 U.S. presidential election. There were two main candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties running, Bush and Gore. Oh yeah, and there was this one other guy who spoiled things, Independent, Ralph Nader. Remember him?

Let me tell you more about Mr. Nader. He is a consumer advocate who has been working for the safety of the American people for 40 years. As he says him self, he gets things done. This is his fourth strait bid at the White House. Read more about him on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/nader.politics/index.html .

"He seems to have a pretty high opinion of his own work." And now Nader is entering the Race, again.

With the liberals and moderates divided between Hilary and Barak, Nader entering the race does not help thing for the democrats or for America.

Due to events during the Bush years( 9/11, the 2nd Gulf War, Katrina, China’s raise, weak dollar and the current recession due to the Mortgage Crises) American World Hegemony has been threatened. As a country America is weaker and continues to loose its place on the world stage. The first thing we must do to get things back on track is to come back home from Iraq. Then we must fix the problems at home to get our place and our respect back in the world.

Nader’s entry splits the vote of the Liberal and Moderate Americans that would have voted for the Democratic Candidate. This may help McCain (the Republican presidential candidate). He fails to see the first step in fixing things which is bringing the troops home. Instead he wants to keep the troops in Iraq for another 100 years or how ever long it takes.
I wish Nader would stay home, at least this one time. After all if a democrat does not become president, it is not going to take 100 years for America to loose its place in the world.
