He is running as an independent because the 2 candidates for the Democrats are not far enough to the left for his tastes . Lol The truth is that Nader is an anti-semite . That is his real reason for running He says Obama sold out to the Israelis .
From the trascript of his announcment on Meet the Depressed
But Senator Obama is a person of substance. He's also the first liberal evangelist in a long time. He's run a brilliant tactical campaign. But his better instincts and his knowledge have been censored by himself. And I give you the example, the Palestinian-Israeli issue, which is a real off the table issue for the candidates. So don't touch that, even though it's central to our security and to, to the situation in the Middle East. He was pro-Palestinian when he was in Illinois before he ran for the state Senate, during he ran--during the state Senate. Now he's, he's supporting the Israeli destruction of the tiny section called Gaza with a million and a half people. He doesn't have any sympathy for a civilian death ratio of about 300-to-1; 300 Palestinians to one Israeli. He's not taking a leadership position in supporting the Israeli peace movement, which represents former Cabinet ministers, people in the Knesset, former generals, former security officials, in addition to mayors and leading intellectuals. One would think he would at least say, "Let's have a hearing for the Israeli peace movement in the Congress," so we don't just have a monotone support of the Israeli government's attitude toward the Palestinians and their illegal occupation of Palestine.
Ok normally I would encourage Democrats to support a Nader candidacy just because anything that pushes them further left than they already are improves their chances of defeat. But the American people have got to make it very clear to Nader that his time is gone. Go crawl under the rock you came from already !
