What are your thoughts about a Paul/Nader ticket?

[RCA]

I don't know much about Ralph Nader, but by just doing some basic reading about him he seems very similar to Paul in his long plight against corruption.

Please search around the forum. We've had long discussions in several threads on this topic already.

Nader is an absolute idiot in my opinion. He wants to do some far out things, and I'm fairly sure he is for insane taxes too.

I would prefer a Paul/Colbert ticket. Only half joking.

In the realms of economic liberties and free markets vs. state control, Nader is diametrically opposed to Ron Paul's core philosophy. I get indigestion whenever someone suggests an abject statist as a Paul running mate. (Kucinich is another example).

Paul would never join that ticket....thats for sure.

Just about sums it up.

He can't have someone who is on the opposite end of the political spectrum as VP. Half of the vice president's job is to take over if the president dies or needs to take over for a period of time.

Naders the nut that lobbied the government to force auto manufacturers to put seatbelts in all their cars.

Nothing wrong with seatbelts, but you shouldnt have to have them if you dont want them. He pretty much guaranteed all the states would pass seatbelt laws.

what a dick.

He wants to be everyones daddy.

Nader is horrible person. He has backstabbed so many people who questioned the government.

Seatbelts are a great idea. Keeps the taxpayers from having to pay hundreds of million of dollars towards cleaning your blood & brains off the street each year.

Nader is a bad idea.

Seatbelts are a great idea, if they are your responsibility instead of the governments. Tax payers shouldnt have to pay for me if I die not using one. Thats the whole point.

The only thing i like about Nader, Gravel, or Kucinich is that they are honest politicians. I do not agree with their political philosophy.

Better yet, how about Amelia Moon Glampers?

Who is going to scrape your brains up off the pavement? Your kids?
No. A public servant. Without seatbelts we'll have to hire a hell of a lot more public servants.(For starters).

Let the rain wash it down the gutter, or a cat will surely come along and carry it off. Crows will usually eat road kill before too long.

Socialist!!!!

I just dont believe its the governments job to tell me I MUST wear a seatbelt. How about requiring me to wear a helmet when I ride a bike? How about no more food with cholesterol in it since it costs money for an ambulance to come to your house when you have a heart attack caused by the heart disease you got due to the cholesterol you ate? Where does it stop?

Seatbelts dont prevent accidents, so someone would have to come clean up the broken glass and twisted metal anyway right? Whats 3 more minutes cleaning up a splattered guy?

We aren't arguing for no government just small government. I think some laws are so good they need to stay. Seat belt laws are one of these and by the way the only reason we keep Nader around. They save 100,000 lives every year. So do speed limit laws. The fact is that on private property you have every right to not wear your helmet or seatbelt or drive whatever speed you like. When however you are on a highway built by the state or government that the state/government takes care of it is a different story. By not making people where seatbelts you are costing taxpays money. people argue "but if they make this law and that law where is the line drawn!?"
Simple, just draw a line.
