I used to be a Ralph-o-file, but look at his choice for a running mate - the lame-brained Matt Gonzales, who ran for Mayor of SF as a Green a few years ago and didn’t support the Green candidate for President.

“I’m for Dennis Kucinich,” he replied when asked. There’s nothing wrong with supporting Kucinich, but if you’re a Green, you should support the Green Party’s candidates, at least publicly.

Thankfully, Newsome won. Ralph should have done a better job picking a number two.

Hi,

The democrats are not angels and they have done a lot of damage to the middle class but they do not have a desire to lead a messianic crusade of madness accross the world.

The democrats are corrupt and in many cases completely cynical in how they exploit the poor but Al Gore would not have taken this country into Iraq and would have done something about global warming as opposed to absolutely nothing from GW Bush. 

When you guys are celebrating Nader’s run remember neither Clinton nor Obama have sung songs about bombing Iran. 

I think the lesser of 2 evils is far better then a war mongering nut-case in the form of McCain.

I hope Nader see’s the wisdom here and ends his candidacy and the democrats are able to unite behind a candidate and soon or the Republicans will have the first mover advantage. 

Thanks,

Just look at the issues listed on Nader’s web site votenader.com.  Which of our candidates is talking about any of them?

What happened to single payer health care?

Before Nader stepped in, he supported John Edwards’ candidacy.  Why?  John Edwards doesn’t equivocate.  He recognized the danger of corporatism in this country and how Nafta, ATO fuels its rise and jeopardizes our democracy.

But people just won’t educate themselves.  They won’t ask questions, won’t attend city government meetings because they enslave themselves to corporations and get sucked into debt.

Obama & Clinton throw out a few bones--universal health care, partial withdrawal from Iraq-- to make you think they are practically revolutionary.  And you believe them.

Clark’s a phony. Neither rational nor radical. A corporate republicrat apologist.

Nader, Moorer, Goodman and sundry familiar names for US tv privately know there is the 9/11 coverup. Go to patriotsquestion9/11.  Could we ever stop all this fool talk?  Sure, Nader, Moorer, Goodman can be shot.  The others of you have no excuse.  Get ye to patriotsquestion9/ll and start a magazine or movie or newspaper or something besides disrespected street protests.

Mother Teresa spent a lifetime tirelessly and hopelessly pulling people off of the streets in Calcutta and around the world. Perhaps they died with some measure of compassion and dignity. She is on a fast track to sainthood.

Ralph Nader has spent a lifetime tirelessly and hopelessly fighting the corporate nazi machine that controls our government AND an ignorant U.S. populace who would benefit from his advocacy if they used a tablespoon of the gray matter in their heads.
What is he on a fast track to?

Egomaniac? Perhaps. If you read “The Seventeen Traditions” you might call it a stubbornness through his upbringing to do what’s right.

Real “change” is brought about by “real” people like Nader not the Bill Mays’ of the political landscape selling you “change” for just $19.99.

The lobbyists and their corporate masters must laughing themselves silly watching this campaign. They already know the outcome. Same sh*t different wrapper. They’re just playing the diversity angle this time.

Wise up.

Ralph Nader is the one person who we can all thank for having the worse seven years of presidency ever. Why should be give him any credit now that he has become a self-absorbed person and is running in order to be a spoiler again. In his hayday he served the people but it is hard to believe that he is that knight in shiny armor at this point in his life. Perhaps he has been out of the limelight for too long and that is his reason from running again. I don’t believe we can give him a pass based only of what was.

This piece belongs on The Onion or Colbert Report. Nader is not fueled by money, that’s true, his only juice is his ego. He has not made a contribution to America since Unsafe at Any Speed. If proof were needed it was supplied by ElkoJohn quoting Fox News.
