"This (Texas) is the worst state in the country in terms of denying voters their own choice of candidates," he said. "What is it about Texans, who consider themselves rebels and tough critters, and they're just patsies when it comes to corporate barons?"
intrigued?
You can read the entire article here.
Ralph Nader's quote refers to getting a third party on the presidential ballot in Texas. I don't disagree with his sentiment, even though I probably wont vote for him.
When I read the article the article originally I misread patsy and in my mind substituted patsy with pastie! It goes to show you where my mind is... Whoops!
Thanks Rochelle for the correction! Regardless, How can you pass up doing a Google image search on "pasties?"

Please go back and read your quote again. Mr. Nader did not call anyone "pasties". He said "patsies". As in a pushover.
And if you agree with him and don't vote for him, that's exactly what you are - a pushover to the "majority" parties. They won't lift a finger to make the lives of regular people (i.e. the majority of the voting public) any better until the voting public pushes the issue.
Thanks for the correction, I feel a bit perverted now!
I could not agree with you more in terms of your views of the majority parties!
Do not assume that because I am not voting for Nader I subscribe to the right left paradigm!
My guy won your state and was ignored because of it!
Hey, it's a nice picture. And I got a giggle out of the mix-up, even had to go back and check the quote!
I guess I'm just a bit defensive about third parties. They have to deal with so much...ignorance. I've subscribed to numerous e-newspapers just to contradict some of the stupidity I keep reading!
Nader approves of pasties and even prefers them to earmuffs.
