Are you talking about Falwell, Robertson, Rumsfeld, Bush?


No. None of them have the fanatical following that Nader has. Falwell and Robertson are good Preachers, but don't get those type of intense people. You will see these type of people in a cult situation, and the the Religious right that Falwell and Robertson lead is too mainstream for them.

As you bounce around the Internet, you will find groups on both ends that have these people in them. Nader gets the greens, etc. I can't think of anyone on the right at the moment with this type of intensity going for him. Nobody that can "Third Party" and split off the Republican votes. A real charismatic Libertarian would be the type that could do it, but no one has emerged.
