Ralph Nader - Presidential Candidate On The Bailout Bill

[Cathode0]

Interesting lens choice. Care to discuss your "director's vision" with us regarding this style choice?

[thisguyontheinternet]

does anyone remember that in the great depression they printed money until it cost 40$ to buy an apple? we need to lynch the fed

[tipback]

Thanks

[nportillo73]

zennie!!!! Interviewing Ralph Nader wtf!?!? Hey that's cool, though man. See? Ralph's a cool cat who's down to earth and approachable and has the right answers for America's future.

Cool vid! 5 stars, my man!

[Kold2market]

What will it take for the majority of America to WAKE UP and realize the CORPORATE elite is taking us for FOOLS ?

An Unconstitutional WAR? 2 WARS with thousands of Americans dying to protect rich people's interest? How about a deep recession ? a depression ? loosing jobs?

WHAT? when is it enough ?

WAKE UP AMERICA - You are slaves to the Corporate elite! McCain and Obama are their 2 spokesmen...

What's that ? had enough ? you want change ? THEN VOTE NADER/Gonzales on November 4th 2008

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican partY = THEY the CORPORATION$

[travelfar22]

The Writing Is On The WALL $treet bailOUT!

The Bailout is taxation without representation or consultation!

> Democrat/Clinton deregulated and caused this mess.

> Republican/Bu$h blank check bails the crooks out.

They should aid and prevent homeowner foreclosure and default! Millions of Americans have no health care but, RepubliCrat partY throw money away into the Wall Street speculator gambler void!

[ConstitutionSupportr]

H.R. 1424 google it

[ConstitutionSupportr]

I wish someone who voted against funding the war won the primaries. I want the troops home.

I wish someone who suggested an alternative solution to war to capture Bin Laden such as the Letter of Marque(look this, up it was a viable alternative) won the primaries.

And I heard senate on the same day of the bailout sent another 615 Billion to Iraq. I'm not sure about this yet but if I confirm it I will Gripe on every youtube page concerning the elections and the bailout

[ConstitutionSupportr]

The bill is horrible here is why

First it involves printing more money and thus destroying the value of the dollar.

Second it rewards individuals who should go to prison.

Thirdly its turning what should have been a year of recession into a decade of depression.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, it gives extraordinary powers to the Executive Branch and the Federal reserve

Contact me for a link to the full text of bill in PDF Format through private message

[chuck74130]

Thank You ConstiutionalSupporter for providing links to this bill.

Most people don't realize what the FED really does, in short, yes, they print money, AND then TAX "US" for it- BECAUSE IT IS, IN IT'SELF, A LOAN!

I challange any and all that have the time, gumption, and outright brass you know whats, to Google and research the Federal Reserve.

I DARE you to become knowledgeable about the history of the Fed Res if you're already not.

[ConstitutionSupportr]

Thanks Chuck our duty as Americans is to give truthful info in this time of deceit and corruption And yes it is a tax but even worse than normal its a hidden tax.

Hidden in that the more we print the money the more it loses value.

Very sneaky, print more money give it to the criminals, as our money decreases in value.(and they just hold alot more of it)

I haven't had anyone who wants to read the text yet makes me sad, again anyone who wants to read the full text of the bailout message me

[exxxxxxxx]

NO FREE LUNCH AMERICA!!! About time too.

[MrHollick]

I was expecting him to vomit at any moment

[chuck74130]

What a Tard.

only half of what this Nader guy says makes any sense.

BOTTOM LINE:

Are our taxes gonna go up to support bad behavior? This is not a small tax increase, It's monumental. AND it will have to happen again and again. Should we not be concerned with socializing the financial sector?

Mark MY words, this bailout will damage our economy for more than anything thus far in US history. To bail out that which should be broken encourages more of the same!

You've been told...

[AlanMolstad]

I saw on the TV news just now the bill the Senate passed is PORK, PORK, PORK!

I knew it...

I knew thats what it would turn into.

Whenever there is a problem in Congress passing a boll into law because of all the money it will spend, the answer is always the same....SPEND MORE!

Any bill that is up to 700 Billion dollars in spending is going to need about 200 - 400 extra billion dollars just to buy off the needed votes to pass.

[AlanMolstad]

We have now come to the point where Congress just wants to "pass anything".

Lost in this rush to pass any form of bailout bill is the idea that its always smarter to test drive a few cars first, and not just buy the first car you see on the lot.

The way Congress has refused to have hearings first before passing such a monster spending bill is why Im not a Democrat or Republican.

I am a fiscal Conservative, (a dying breed it seems)

[skatman2]

Excuse me guy. Not gut.

[skatman2]

Lezexotic is right. This gut is on it.

[dave4708]

Ralph Nader is right.Why rush - The market is stable and if credit tightens for a while so be it.We will survive-we just need to do the right thing.

[AlanMolstad]

Dave, didnt you get the Republican memo or the Democratic talking points?

Let me quote them both -

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

[lezxotic]

Bottom Line: Ralph Nader is a SPOILER he will NEVER win the presidency and ONLY enters the race to influence who will inevitably become president. Nader has done this FOR YEARS.

He has so little standing that he isn't allowed to debate and rarely if ever gets press coverage. This time though his efforts will detract from votes McCain will get and benefit Obama so GO Nader!!!

[ConstitutionSupportr]

Actually third party and independent candidates are kept out of the debates because of Commission on Presidential Debates which was created in 1987 to illegally prevent third party and independents from the debate.

Largely due to the fact that these individuals would DESTROY McBama.

They both support war.

They both consider nuclear arms "on the table"

They are both status quot candidates.

No talk about economic reform,

Nothing on foreign policy

Both are Neocons

[lezxotic]

Doersn't matter Nader is a spoiler and you just better face it.

[lezxotic]

"Largely due to the fact that these individuals would DESTROY McBama."

Please Nader doesn't even have substantial public support in the form of financial resources. Ross Perrot got better coverage as a 3rd party candidate and wasn't shut out of the process so STOP making excuses.

[ConstitutionSupportr]

"Ross Perrot got better coverage as a 3rd party candidate and wasn't shut out of the process so STOP making excuses."

Yup thats right and thats when it was decided to take it from the National League of Women Voters thus making it impossible for someone outside the status quot from achieving victory.

And I'm not voting for Nader, but he's better than McBama

[lezxotic]

"Yup thats right and thats when it was decided to take it from the National League of Women Voters"

Here we go! Blame the women now good grief!

[wishitwouldrain]

lezxotic-you need to read a book. It was because Perot was invited to debate that he got such "better coverage". And it was because of that "better coverage" that shut him out of the debate 4 years later. Ralph was NEVER allowed to debate because he was so popular. In fact he was threatened with arrest.

Wake up-Democrtas and Republicans are both scared, corporate rats willing to do anything to shut third-party candidates out.

Nader/Gonzalez 2008

[jimisback]

How does the taxpayer get the money. Will they send us a check? I would venture to say NO.

[KrystolTrice]

Wow! Great video Zennie.  Keep making them.

[hawie55]

marissacalderon,

Barack Obama received 166K in donations from Fannie Mae employees, but John McCain has received 169K from Fannie Mae LOBBYIST(keyword), directors and officials while Obama has received only 16K.

Its awesome how some of us like to have selective research/memories.

[marissacalderon]

Oh, you want "sources", try this counterpunchDOTorg/martens0505­2008DOThtml. It doesn't even matter about what money he receives, but his votes! Obama voted for FISA to cover up Bush and AT&T's illegal wire tapping activity and then who is the main sponsor of the DNC... AT&T! You cannot deny the video right from the Fanny May CEO calling Obama and Democrats family, I suggest you look it up. Or how about Obama and ACORN? Notice Obama favors this bill... and so do his corporate paymasters.

[lezxotic]

I CAN deny what I see on VIDEO because you people ALWAYS deny what bis RIGHT before your eyes.

Look why are you picking on ACORN they act in then best interests of the poor NOT in the interest of wealthy or White Conservatives.

Oh I know I know you'd prefer that the npoor and marginalized did not have advocates but that ain't gonna happen.

[marissacalderon]

Hah, you precious Obama voted AYE for the wall street bailout. I don't need to see anything more... that just proves he cares about his corporate friends and cleaning up after himself.

[lezxotic]

Ha I know so did McCain. Dumb ass Spoiler Ralph Nader is NOT even an elected official. Please vote for Nader so Obama can be president!

Obama/Biden '08

[marissacalderon]

There is an Anti-America statement. Anyone can run for president. Nader and other third parties have every right to run for president. Nader has done more for the citizens of this country than Obama and McCain combined. I guess you really do have your ass backwards. Did you know that 600,000 registered Floridan Democrats did not vote in 2000. 200,000 Floridian Democrats voted Bush in 2000 as well. McCain will die, Obama will be shot and we will be left with two dumbass VP's.

[marissacalderon]

Since 1966, Nader has been responsible for at least eight major federal consumer protection laws such as the motor vehicle safety laws, Safe Drinking Water Act; the launching of federal regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Environment Protection Agency, and Consumer Product Safety Administration; access to government through the Freedom of Information Act of 1974; and for many lives saved. What has Obama done?... Destroy America's constitution!

[lezxotic]

"What has Obama done?... Destroy America's constitution! "

You can EASILY research Obama's credential's I am tried of repeating myself to every idiot that asks this question. I am aware on Nader's professional acheivements.

You should research Obama's. Now if a parent has a child murdered they can also have a bill inmtroduced and made into law, therefore just because Nader was a good consumer advocate doesn't mean he's qualified to be president there are more issues than Domestic ones/

[marissacalderon]

Obama is a senator. If Nader was a senator I would look up his voting record, not his credentials. Obama's voting record mimics McCain and Bush. He can change parties and no one would know the difference. He has not been any opposition to the Republicans since he became a senator. He is the same as McCain... and isn't that why Kerry lost the 04 election? They said Kerry had the same voting record as Bush. Obama is just as responsible as Republicans for destroying our constitution and the war.

[lezxotic]

"Obama's voting record mimics McCain and Bush. He can change parties and no one would know the difference. He has not been any opposition to the Republicans since he became a senator"

Voting Record Credentials WHO CARES! Obama is going to be the next president so get over it. Nader is a SPOILER and Obama has taken an opposition lead as he opposed the Iraq war dummy. Now let it go it's a moot issue.

[marissacalderon]

WHO CARES! That is your statement, that is why America will never progress because idiot uninformed voters. Record or Rhetoric? You are choosing rhetoric. It's like I promised you I would give you a 100$ and you look at my bank statement and see I am broke. What would you trust, my word or bank statement? Obama's voting record is shameful to America. I trust my judgment based on record, not by his well rehearsed speeches.

[Sturrmm]

Hah, typical Obama supporter Lezxotic. You dont even want to know about the person you vote for. Get a clue and read the facts before you ruin everyone elses life by voting for Barack "flip-flop king" Obama. You cant believe anything that comes from that man's mouth other than the fact that he said he wasnt qualified to run for president when he became senator.

[lezxotic]

:Absolutely Right and Obama is going to be YOUR next president. It is NOT even necessary to waste my time defending him because it's not necessary it's a moot issue and a waste of my time.

[wishitwouldrain]

lezxotic-wow...you are so mindnumbingly stupid i fail to believe what you write. You actually typed "voting record credentials WHO CARES!" I suppose you voted for him because of his snappy suit. Good for you.

Sometimes I think Ameica doesn't deserve someone like Ralph for President.

[zardcat1111]

You are making yourself look like an ass. Obama vote in 2002 for the "Landfill Reduction Act" which many environmentalists say is one of the most beneficial acts in terms of our environment. Look up George Hazelfield who is head of the EHL (Environment for Healthy Living) who thinks that Obama's support for this act was "patriotic to not only our country but our country's environment"

[marissacalderon]

Obama is a corporate shill. This bailout is for his Wall Street buddies. The Democrats voted in the house 140 AYE WITHOUT ANY CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS OR EXPERT ANALYSIS! Democrats are destroying this country. We need Nader in the white house! NADER/GONZALEZ08!

[ggullet]

the only candidate that has a proven record of fighting for the people. too bad our elections are run like beauty contest to appease, as bill maher calls us, the united states of idiots. 60% of americans believe the story of noah's ark is literal, selling a 700 bil. bailout package no strings should be a piece of cake. i'm still waiting on the financial meltdown. maybe it will come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

[camarosbob]

Ralph Nader's comments are right on target. He would be an excellent adviser for future President Obama.

[representativepress]

no such luck. Last year Nader tried to contact Obama, Obama would not even return his calls. Obama is part of the problem with this country, vote Nader for REAL change.

[ConstitutionSupportr]

Nader is a better alternative.

But not the best option the best option sadly won't be on the Ballots.

Just say vote Third Party-Independent

[Kold2market]

I knwo 3rd parties have some minor differences, but at this point - we need to get behind some central agreeable issues, and allign behind 1 Candidate.

Otherwise 'We the people will NEVER topple down the Republican/Democratic Duaoly Corporate Power elite.

Stop the bikering - VOTE NADER in 2008!

[AlanMolstad]

"What if 700 Billion Dollars doesnt work?

What if it makes things worse?

What if it's given to the wrong people?

Is there another 700 billion dollars bailout?

Another 700 billion dollar bailout?"

Interesting questions to consider...

[AlanMolstad]

Someone has to tell Obama that under our two-Party system, his has to be the voice of opposition right now.

It's his voice that should lead the call for Congressional Hearings.

Somethings just not right, that in an election that has Obama making so much out of McCain's votes to support Bush, that we now sees Obama walking lock-step with Bush?

Something's Wrong!

The bailout should be seen by the Dems as the "The last straw!" of a failed Republican ideal.

[AlanMolstad]

The Dems have to be the opposition to Bush, or else there is nothing to hold back the President from this hand-out.

Even if Obama is 100% sure that 700 Billion dollars will work and will be all thats needed to fix things, still he should ask for some hearings so we can see who is at fault first for this mess.

Point to some Wall street banker and tell America,"This is the guy who is the cause of all this trouble"

[AlanMolstad]

Interesting...

Most of the time I dont have many views in common with Mr Nader, but I can't find fault with his views here.

He also brings up a question I had not thought of yet at 2:29-

"What if 700 Billion dollars doesn't work?"
