How much air time should Nader get?

Posted on February 25, 2008 by Lance

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer wants to know. Personally, I think Nader should be given equal time. As a consumer of CNN (having cable I am thus subscribed to their channel), I have a demand for Ralph Nader airtime. CNN should not be forced by the government to give Nader airtime, but if consumers demand it, perhaps they will give it to him.

Alas, most Americans are simply apathetic to politics and are unwilling to demand more airtime for lesser candidates, or they believe the “opinion-makers” out there that the other candidates can’t win (a bit of circular reasoning, I believe).

So, Wolf, I demand more airtime for Ralph Nader. He might be a socialist, but he isn’t compromising in his principles. Many Obama lovers would be keen to listen to Nader’s views on policy as well as Nader’s critique of Obama.

Oh, wait, I forget…most non-Internet users only follow Obama for religious reasons.

    NONE

    Just as in 2000… and we saw who we got then!!!

    A vote for Nader was a vote for Bush.

    And now:
    A vote for Nader is a vote for McCain!

    DON’T VOTE NADER!!!

    If ya’ like going to war in the wrong country for no apparent reason vote McCain.

    Uhhh…lemme see… terrorists from Saudi Arabia flew planes into buildings on the direction of another Saudi in Afghanistan…. soooo….OBVIOUSLY… we should invade Iraq.

    Yep! Lemme have some more of that logic…. Maybe Bush can run as Vice-President…. Is that allowed? Because he and his staff are real geniuses.

    Remember folks, the ONLY reason Bush got the White House was because of Nader. Thus Nader can be blamed for: The Iraq War, The economy, The price of oil, and possibly even 9-11.(one can only guess on that last one) McCain is just as nutty as Bush but smarter which makes him more dangerous.

    All candidates should be given equal airtime so we the people can decide for our selves who we like.

    Letting the media dictate what we see is not the way its suppose to be. Its totally corrupt. How can I vote for a person that gets ZERO airtime?

    I don’t care if the person is not popular or if I agree with their views, they all should have a fair shot. The system is broken.
