Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will “shift the power from the few to the many.”
Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties due to a prolonged Iraq war and a shaky economy. The consumer advocate also blamed tax and other corporate-friendly policies under the Bush administration that he said have left many lower- and middle-class people in debt.

Yawn!
PURIM SHTICK!?!?!?!
this will help mccain.
It can’t hurt. Perhaps he’ll pull enough votes from a swing state to wing the election, ala FL 2000. (Or, less similarly, how Perot gave it to Clinton in ’92.)
Nader is Muslim (of Lebanese heritage), and Barak Hussein Obama’s Dad is Muslim. Is the new qualification of US president, that one has to be Muslim to run?
Ralph Nader is NOT a moslem, he is a maronite chrstian. Let’s not muddy the waters and look like fools.
Good, he’ll take votes from Obama.
never heard of him, who is he?
a: he is not a Muslim
b: who cares if he is?
The problem with Obama is that he is inexperienced, and is campaining on “hope,” but not making many tangible promises.

You beat me to the punch line again.
But is he really Billy Nader’s brother?
Nebech needs some emotional help badly.
All i can say is, that this time, just like all other times he attempted to run for president, we will very likely be “bli Nader”.
