A major announcement is planned in the next few weeks, but I have received the scoop from Nader spokeswoman Durachka Pervaprelskaya that Ralph Nader has agreed to to run for Vice President on an independent ticket with Ron Paul for President and will try to get on the ballot in all states and DC.
Ralph Nader ran as a Green Party candidate for President in 1996 and 2000, and as an independent in 2004 and 2008. Ron Paul ran as a Libertarian in 1988, and as a Republican in 2008, as well as serving multiple terms in Congress as a Republican. In 2008, he endorsed Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin in the general election.
According to Ms. Pervaprelskaya they will seek the endorsement of the Green, Libertarian and Constitution Parties and will run on multiple ballot lines where that is permitted and qualify as independents in any state where they can’t secure an existing ballot line.
Paul and Nader have been increasingly cooperating lately on antiwar and anti-corporatist issues. According to the agreement that allows them to work together, they will focus the vast majority of the campaign on issues where they agree, such as those put forward by the Campaign for Liberty’s founding “we agree” statement.
Ms. Pervaprelskaya said that the timing of the announcement is being moved up due to concerns about potential independent runs by Donald Trump (currently running as a Republican), Mayor Michael Bloomberg of NYC, former Governor Jesse Ventura of Minnesota, Roseanne Barr, and progressive candidate Robert Milnes of New Jersey, who intends to run with an as yet unidentified female libertarian VP candidate. She refused to comment on the all-party and independent system of the US Parliament, Inc., and any issues involving petition gathering contracts.
Ms. Pervaprelskaya assured me that Ron Paul is fully on board, although his office refused to comment, saying they would prefer to hold off until the official announcement.
Stay tune for additional developments in this rapidly breaking story.
@34 This post is over a year old, it never happened.
I wasn’t going to bother to re-register to vote this Fall, but now I will so I can vote for Paul/Nader.
Mr. Ron Paul for 2012 Republican Nom and President.

peredal, bolshoyo spasibo
“must”? maybe if you buy ipr, in which case i will post them somewhere else.
Anyone who wants to make an April fool’s day Joke/Lie , must do it regarding his/her own life, not peoples’ life.
Still laughing! I wish I saw this April Fool’s joke on April 1st!
“Nader spokeswoman Durachka Pervaprelskaya”!
Give my Privet to Durachka!
Ha-ha-ha!! This was some April Fool joke!
Oops. Meant Elaine Paige.
There is no woman named “Eilene Paige”, unless…unless…but, no.
@KW feel free
Wonder if we should put a big banner across the top that says “April Fool’s”
The story that Nader and Paul were running on the same ticket came up in one of my husband’s green networks as a big secret someone was sharing…
It’s aqua tangerine.
The aqua tangerine has joined the movement.
We were talking about “Eileene Paige” here and who the hell she was. Answers, people!
Gravel’s dedicated to direct democracy (national ballot initiative) stuff, and has no interest in running for any office …he won’t feel left out
Too bad this seems like it is an April Fool’s joke, because we need some alternative to the Republi-Crats bull **** . Can we get Bernie Sanders on board too, while we’re dreaming?
Even if you think Barr wasn’t libertarian, Gravel wasn’t either.
Libs threw away any oppotunity presented by Gravel by nominating Barr.
Mike Gravel is currently active in the 9/11 Truth movement.
Who the hell is Eileen Paige?
What about Gravel? Don’t want him to feel left out!
I would prefer a congratulatory phone call from Eilene Paige.
I was robbed!
My nightmare ticket.
& no matter which gets the p. & which vp, either would be a heartbeat of a very old man from the presidency.
More April fools?
Read this paragraph carefully and see if you have any doubts left:
Ms. Pervaprelskaya said that the timing of the announcement is being moved up due to concerns about potential independent runs by Donald Trump (currently running as a Republican), Mayor Michael Bloomberg of NYC, former Governor Jesse Ventura of Minnesota, Roseanne Barr, and progressive candidate Robert Milnes of New Jersey, who intends to run with an as yet unidentified female libertarian VP candidate.

din ding ding ding ding….
I sure hope these aren’t all April Fool’s posts. It gets annoying.
I am annoyed there are so few. Very shameful for IPR.
is planning to run for the Presidental nomination the rational given was the lack of serious competition for the slot left him no other alternative but to “run run run”. He believes the can offer the country a new leash on life. He offered his sincere fangs for all the support. As to who will have second “Spot” on the ticket, he is looking for someone well “heeled” who can “foot the bill”, and who will stay with him during the long campaign. Some candidates just won’t sit still for that, however, and only time will tell what we’re in fur.
Horsefeathers! While at Gettysburg College the future Dr. Paul drove a Studebaker Lark. His ’54 Hudson Jet finally gave out so he went with another winner!
Corvaire, not Nova, as I recall 😉
I sure hope these aren’t all April Fool’s posts. It gets annoying.
I’m shocked Kucinich was left off this ticket.
Nader is very forgiving – it is reported Ron Paul drove a Nova while an undergrad at Gettysburg College and applied for a refund of his mandatory PIRG student fee at Duke.
I am so excited to see that all my internet posting has finally paid off. I expect a congratulatory phone call from Ellen Page any minute now!
More April Fool’s?
