Nader Suggests A Billionaire's Third Party Run For Presidency
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader said the super-wealthy should run for president as the only ones capable of breaking through the two-party logjam.

He suggested Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and 18 other billionaires as 2016 third-party candidates in a blog posted Monday, the Washington newspaper the Hill reported.

Nader noted the high cost of running in every state, the polling threshold to enter televised debates and the lack of attention paid to third-party candidates by the media and polling firms. He added a billionaire's run, on a third-party ticket, could reshape the political agendas of the Democratic and Republican Parties.

"Modestly enlightened rich people can persuade the mass media and other definers of the public's attention that they have resources to overcome, at least initially, many of these obstacles," he wrote.

4. What the hell, he used to fight against Microsoft and now he urges Bill Gates to run for President?

He has really lost his way, he would have condemned the idea of Bill Gates buying the Presidency in the past.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Yeah, but he's a devout Christian who treats his wife like she's the most wonderful woman in the world. And he's earned (and demands) respect from his children and grandchildren and that doesn't work for the DUmmies.
