We cats are famous for throwing up. Which is a good thing, because this story in POLITICO really made us want to hack up a hairball. Ralph Nader never fails to give us a not-so-pleasant jaunt down Memory Lane.
Which reminds us: Back during the 2008 primaries and caucuses, it was pretty clear to us Hillary Clinton supporters that many on the Democratic Party's left wing were not enamored of her. But when Barack Obama secured the nomination, being good Democrats, we instantly turned on a dime and endorsed him because A) he was a really good guy, and B) the alternative was unthinkable.
In that spirit, we ask any Obama supporters who may be rolling their eyes at the idea of Hillary Clinton in 2016 to click on the link and consider Ralph Nader's current "plan."
Goodness gracious. After Nader threw the 2000 election to the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived — and after all the crap that the nation has endured thanks to that godforsaken administration (9/11, Iraq, Katrina, Samuel Alito, the economic meltdown, Jeff Gannon ) —we'd hope that any potential Hillary '16 Dislikers on the Democratic side would want to avoid a repeat of Bush v. Gore and get on board.
In the meantime, we can only hope that Ralph, not being a spring chicken, checks out between now and then. How sad that when that actually happens to the man who brought General Motors to heel, we cats will not miss him.
