What are your thoughts about a Paul/Nader ticket?

[Brian4Liberty]

He wants to be everyones daddy.

Wrong!

He wants to be our mommy...

Huckabee sounds more like Paul every day, just give it a while till he changes his name to Paul Jr. I think he'd be the best VP in terms of getting votes.

 

[Abyss19562]

Ron Paul would never buy into this ticket. I wonder who he has in mind for VP though....

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Nader is dumb on numerous issues.

 

[davidkachel]

Nader is a super-government nut job. He believes all corporations are evil and would prefer a worker's paradise. The only similarity between him and Ron Paul is that they both speak the same language... sorta!

Uh.. so you must be against airbags, front collapse zone, and all other precautions that car manufacturers take to create cars safer for the average human being. I do not see the rationale that supporting seat belts in cars is supporting seat belt legislation in this country. If I am correct seat belt laws are state laws, not federal crimes - thus lobbying the federal government to force private industry to produce a safer product has nothing to do with states passing laws that enforce that safe product.

This is pretty ridiculous.

No, what you are saying is ridiculous. Just because I am against the government (state OR federal) SHOVING IT DOWN MY THROAT, does not mean I'm against the thing itself. When I go buy a car, the safety of that vehicle is one of the factors in my buying decision. If a company can produce a safer car, the market will reward it with higher sales. What I object to is the government (state or federal) FORCING the car company to implement certain "safety" features. And indeed, some such features have proven to actually decrease safety in certain circumstances.

And by the way, you are not correct. Most mandated safety measures in vehicles are FEDERAL requirements. But in terms of how that aligns with the principle of individual rights, it doesn't make any difference what level of government is doing it. It is still a violation of the rights of the individual.

Quick factoid (among hundreds) on Nader: he believes we should have a "maximum wage". Meaning the government would confiscate ALL earnings over a certain amount.

Another factoid: Nader is a total hypocrit. He is very wealthy, far more wealthy than he has proposed allowing people to be under his system.

Nader is a shill.

He got his start by an out of court settlement from GM of $400,000.00

He is a dictator who has refused to mentor any successor to his 'cause'.

The free market (research Tucker, who had many safety features included in his auto) would improve automobile efficiency and safety. Unfortunately, we don't have a free market in the US. We have Rockefeller monopolies that have squeezed out, bought out and/or destroyed people like Tucker.

.....

Just look at GM's role in the death of the zero emissions vehicle. They bought the innovative battery technology company and later sold it to Texaco, where it languishes on a shelf.

........

In Ralph Nader, whom they financed with a tax-free out of court (and tidy) sum of cash, they have the token consumer advocate to give the appearance of a balance between the monopoly and consumer protection...a giant crock of BS, IMO.

Ron Paul will move to finally end the corporate political muscle and welfare for Exxon and GM that has kept us in a time loop for a century, during which we have gone from horse and buggy to Windows.

The all new GM cars!!! 4 rubber tires, an internal combustion gasoline driven engine with a steering wheel and everything, averaging 20.3 MPG. That's a huge leap of technological advance for only 100 years, eh?

know what this reminds me of?

this.

No, no, no...
