Independent Assholes and Delusions of Grandeur…or ‘Jeffersonian Revolutions’

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/nader.politics/index.html


Time out, Zach Morris style. Look who is drinking the campaign ’08, kool aid. That’s right, people. None other than our favorite political juggernaut, Ralph Nader! Personally I think he was sent here by some forward-thinking democrat with a deep-seated desire to revamp the whole Bonnie and Clyde thing with our favorite, ground breaking democratic non-duo, Clinton and Obama. This has conspiracy written ALL over it. According to CNN.com:

"He thought that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush and, eight years later, I think people realize that Ralph did not know what he was talking about," Sen. Barack Obama said a town hall meeting Sunday.

Calling Nader's move "very unfortunate," Sen. Hillary Clinton told reporters, "I remember when he ran before. It didn't turn out very well for anybody -- especially our country."

Isn’t that sweet; yet another issue upon which our indistinguishable democratic candidates concur. But let us return to the tour de force that is Ralph Nader’s attempt at “Jeffersonian Revolution.”

“Nader said Thomas Jefferson believed that "when you lose your government, you've got to go into the electoral arena."

"A Jeffersonian revolution is needed in this country," he said.”

Hey Nader, thanks for the memories, but quite frankly, you’re 8 years late and an economic recession short, asshole.
