Perhaps you have more faith in the individual's impact on the political process than I do. I think Nader is as much a figurehead as bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, MLK or JFK. The Green Party would first mourn him as a martyr and immediately appoint someone to take his place and then the next eight billion election cycles will go the same way as the last five.

Worse, they would start selling fucking NADER R.I.P. T-shirts and having very loud conversations on the MAX about the conspiracy and then I would have to murder pretty much everyone ever. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to do so in an expedient manner, and don't anticipate having those resources within the foreseeable future.

I appreciate your alerting me to this campaign, however, and I hope you'll keep me abreast of its progress as well as other efforts your organization may choose to undertake in the coming months.

they'd probably start selling a version of the che guevara image only with nader's head wearing the beret. and on a green t-shirt instead of a red one. we both know they would.

As long as somebody also sells "Drill Nader in 08!" t-shirts as well, its all going to work out.

I wonder if I could get in a fight in PDX wearing a Drill Nader tshirt?

eh, if you did you'd win it handily. the extreme left wing not exactly being known for their upper body strength and all, heh.

The man is and remains irrelevant. But I, too, dream of a political scene where people don't slap each other on the back and say "1968, what a year, huh?" and continually refight the Vietnam War in the form of a national election. Perhaps, with time, would drag the elctoral process right through the 1980s all the way to only a decade out of date. The sort of action you propose is best done with a "deadpool".

Unfortunately, I think killing Nader would only make him stronger. However, the Village Voice has seen fit to memetically neuter his campaign for you. Witness: Ralph Nader, Suicide Bomber

Do third party candidates even get Secret Service protection?

Remind me, later, in a more secure communication, to detail to you my fail safe plan for the complete social collapse of the US. I have determined the unique key factors that can be combined to catalyze open revolution.

The other night I dreamed about two fish bowls. One was almost out of water and the it was dirty and needed to be changed, and there were dead fish and sick fish, and I was frantically trying to change the water to help the ones that were still alive. The other fish bowl was filled with crabs, and the crabs were hungry and eating each other and fucking and making more crabs and then eating those and getting bigger and there were almost enough of them that they could climb out of the bowl and I was afraid.

I hope Ralph Nader is a non-issue.
