Darth Nader Enters The Election

Haven't we been through this before - like during the last four election cycles?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ralph Nader is entering the presidential race as an independent, he announced Sunday, saying it is time for a "Jeffersonian revolution."

"In the last few years, big money and the closing down of Washington against citizen groups prevent us from trying to improve our country. And I want everybody to have the right and opportunity to improve their country," he told reporters after an appearance announcing his candidacy on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Asked why he should be president, the longtime consumer advocate said, "Because I got things done." He cited a 40-year record, which he said includes saving "millions of lives," bringing about stricter protection for food and water and fighting corporate control over Washington.

This marks his fourth straight White House bid -- fifth if his 1992 write-in campaign is included.

"A Jeffersonian revolution is needed in this country," he said. (H/T - CNN)

Oh, please. Jefferson set up this government to prevent people like Nader from running for President! Then again, he has just as much experience as Barack Obama, so who knows?
