Ralph Nader, the consumer activist whom many Democrats blame for costing them the White House in 2000, launched an exploratory committee website today.
The site asks "Which side are you on?" and features a litany of criticisms of corporate America.
In 2000, Democrat Al Gore won the popular vote but was edged out in the Electoral College by Republican George W. Bush after the US Supreme Court stopped a recount in Florida.
Nader, the Green Party candidate, won about 2.8 million votes nationwide, or nearly 3 percent of the vote. But his vote in close, key states helped swing the election to Bush.

All I'm going to say is Nader, get your fucking ass out of this 2008 presidential race! The last thing we need is for you to siphon off more swing-state votes away from Hillary or Obama, throwing this election back to the Republicans. The last thing we need is another four or eight years worth of GOP corruption, incompetence, outright greed, war, greater economic disparity, greater inequality between the ubber-rich and the rest of us, more corporatism, and Big Business continuing to destroy our country's regulation for their selfish greed. Mr. Nader, I do not want you to give the White House to the Republican Party, not after we've had eight years of incompetence and disaster from King George The Deciderer's reign.
Get out of the race now!
