One year Nader's group said the VW bus was the most dangerous car on the road. When an editor from Road & Track magazine asked them what the second most dangerous car was, all they got in answer was a rant against the "Car of the Year" magazine. Which was not R&T, but Motor Trend. OldeForce
"McCain is now breaking the law by ignoring the campaign spending restrictions for the Republican primary that came when he asked for federal matching funds -- funds he used as collateral on a loan that helped keep his campaign going.
But now that the lobbyist and special interest money has started pouring into his campaign, he's trying to back out of the promise he made just a few months ago. They're feeding so much cash into his bank account, this "reformer" wants nothing to do with federal campaign finance laws anymore.
That's why today, we're filing a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission demanding that John McCain be held to the campaign finance laws. Trying to back out shows a total lack of integrity and honesty -- he made a deal with the American people to abide by the law, and in return, he was guaranteed taxpayer money that he used to back a loan."
I think the law sucks, and normally I'd never advocate charging anyone with it. But I have to make a special exception for hoisting the man with his own petard.
This is huge. I had originally planned to vote in the Texas Democrat primary for Obama as I felt that he was the weaker candidate of the two.
ReplyDeleteBut now, I want all those disillusioned Obama supporters voder for the Corvair King instead of Hillary.
Still insane at any speed after all these years.
ReplyDeleteOn Meet the Press today he managed to both sound batshit insane AND Right of Obama.
ReplyDeleteCreepy all the way around!
Ralph Nader, the Punxsutawney Phil of politics.

Darph Nader, villain.
ReplyDeleteWhat is he saying?
One difference between Ron Paul and Nader: I don't think Nader's ever actually been elected to any public office.
