Shut up, Bill Richardson. I would like to take this moment to say that I welcome Ralph Nader's decision to enter the race for the White House. Will I vote for Ralph Nader in November? Most likely not, but hearing a different voice in the race is something that should be welcomed, not discouraged, regardless of what people think Nader did in 2000 when a "vote for Nader was a vote for Bush."

Whatever.

A vote for Nader in 2000 was a vote for a refreshing, progressive change, which is something that should always be welcomed. Corporations DO have their tentacles wrapped around our democratic process. The Democratic Party is not that different from most people's version of the GOP (Bush's neo-conservative lackeys aside). Am I concerned that Nader will split the liberal, progressive wing of the democratic party from the moderate wing? No. That would be ridiculous. But Bill Richardson's claim that Nader is running solely based on his own ego is a ridiculous charge. EVERY CANDIDATE THAT HAS EVER RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE IS RUNNING BASED ON EGO, including you, you corrupt bastard. I urge everyone to vote what their conscience tells them, because a vote for a Democrat or Nader is a vote against that flatulent, arrogant pusbag we call a pseudo-President.
