Democrats Worried About Nader Tension rises as Democrats hear news that Ralph Nader has decided to run for President.by Kipper Mathews

Although rivals Obama and Clinton are both confident in their bids for The White House, both camps were quiet when they received bad news about this primary season, on Feb. 25 at Meet the Press , Ralph Nader officially announced he will take a shot at the 2008 White House.
On Feb. 27, Nader announced his running mate will be Matt Gonzalez, the 42-year old lawyer from San Francisco. Gonzalez is highly regarded in the Bay Area political community.
Nader's candidacy is widely considered by many who trust the system as a key factor that led to Gore losing the 2000 presidential election, and for pushing George W. Bush into the White House for the first time.
While Nader, is supported by the Green Party and other far-left organizations. Democrats accuse him of pulling liberal voters from supporting Gore in key states, mainly Florida.
"Obviously, it's not helpful to whoever our Democratic nominee is," said Sen. Hillary Clinton, speaking to reporters shortly after Nader's announcement. "I remember when he ran before, it didn't turn out well for anybody." Little do they know..
Ralph Nader is not who Democrats should be worried about. It is the guy the media has been hiding from the American public and the world, Ron Paul. He is not only still in the race, he has millions of supporters. The people who haven't heard about him yet, will.
Paul supporters, hundreds-of-thousands of them who have switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party to vote for Dr. Paul have speculated about voting for Nader if Paul was to concede, rather than vote any Democrat. Regardless of what people have been led to believe, Dr. Paul has no plans of doing that.
When people start reading his issues and stop listening to the media, they will see he is not the "kook" the media is trying to make him out to be. He is a very intelligent man with a plan to give America back to the people and save what's left of The Constitution.
Many of the people that have heard of him have been led to believe that he has a closed mind when he says he is personally against gay rights, abortion and a whole list of other things, but in reality, he just thinks that individual states should regulate them and not the Federal Government.
The votes that the Democrats are worried about loosing are already gone. Those voters are not going to vote for them regardless, as they lost respect for the Democrats allowing Bush and Cheney to remain in office, not stopping the war in Iraq and not acknowleding or standing up against the North American Union.
VIEW POINT:
I am looking forward to their reactions when Ron and his supporters force the media to pay attention, by coming together in the up-coming rallies and marches. Stay tuned.

They should be worried. After all the wrongful race card accusations hurled at Bill and Hillary, all the nasty remarks from Obama's young zombie followers, I have become so disguisted with the Dems I will be voting for Nader if Hillary does not get the nomination. I am also for the first time in my life considering turning Independent. Obama has some good ideas, but he has run a very cut throat campaign against Hillary and I will not forgive. The Clintons do not deserve this treatment after all the good they have done for America and the Democratic party.
Ralph, More power to your ideas. Maybe Michael Bloomberg will help you out. Keep working to end this insane war and bring our people home. You've been out there making speeches, doing interviews and writing articles and have written at least three books in the last 6 years. And you've been writing weekly commentary on the things that really matter, at http://www.nader.org .The question is where has the Press been on these important matters you discuss? where have the "Talking Heads" been on corporate crime and the profiteers of this war? The population is too busy being entertained and watching Sporting events to get involved, they take the EASY route and don't bother to think, settling instead for snippets and quick slogans. Knowing what's going on in a Corporate controlled State takes WORK. Thank you Ralph, for all the good things you've done to protect the PEOPLE of this Country. Amazing how quickly they forget, or perhaps they just don't know. Almost everyone's lives, or that of friends and relatives of theirs, have been improved and made safer because of you, Some wouldn't be alive today, if not for Ralph Nader! Their minds have been intentionly bombarded with with Corporate propaganda and the Democrat Party scapegoating machine. Obama and Clinton,O'Reilly and that phoney Terry McAuliffe should be ashamed of their comments regarding you. They continue the DNC scapcoating myth. thank you for your great and continued service to your fellow Countrymen. America will never ever be able to repay you. More power to your ideas. http://www.votenader.org....All the rest of you out there, buckle-up! ....
