  • throughout the last few years I have watched this video plenty of times and as a follower of american politics as well as fan of the early consumer policy activity by Ralph Nader I found this video hilarious because the references just kick ass

  • Yes! Don't vote for the candidate that supports your views; that's stupid...

    Don't vote against corporations controlling Washington; that's stupid...

    Don't vote for social justice; that's stupid...

    Vote for a corrupt politician of one of the two parties; that's not stupid at all...

  • Anonymous your view point on Ralph Nader is uneducated, shallow and tired! This movement today you support? Who was fighting the corporations for the people? Ralph!!! Not the democratic pansie asses you support. Get off you supine ass and give him the credit he deserves!

  • Anonymous is dead.

  • @LiberalJerseyman An idea cant die

  • @ImFinalTaste OOOH HARDCORE YO

  • @LiberalJerseyman im not hardcore just stating facts

  • You're a coward.

  • The next Wikileak -- Anonymous?

  • You are a moron! Nader won't sell out and Obama makes u cry?? Learn about politics before u speak of them. Nader is the most selfless politician the U.S. has ever seen. Ur a tool

  • Diebold's computer, is the vote.

  • Nader/Kucinich 2012!!

  • @kryptoart87 Now THAT would be an awesome presidency. 

  • @XM8rifle

    The best would be Nader/Ventura

  • That's why all the Democrats are getting voted out of Congress huh?

    Oh wait, or is it someone else's fault? You should take this video down already.

  • I love the black bars across the eyes--it totally works! I have no idea who those people are!

  • nader paul kucinich gravel mckinney

    free your mind and the rest will follow

  • I don't blame you for not putting your name on this trash. Gore, Kerry and Obama COMBINED couldn't make a pimple on Ralph Nader's ass. Democrat dumbfucks can now see what they get for voting for Obama...

    Obama/Bush - same shit, different pile.

  • Strategic voting does not work! If Nader got half the votes than Gore did he would have won, and that is a FACT!

  • @grazon

    What makes you think im affiliated with any particular party???

    Why would i vote for someone based on their party?

  • So now its 2 years after the video.

    Are you happy with Obama???

    Lol, Morons.....

  • @Jhunch1234

    Yes thank you.

    How's........oh wait no one from your "party" ever gets elected lol.

  • We need proportional representation. In a democracy if there are issues that other candidates aren't fighting for, then why can't we vote for someone who will. Get Nader into the debates. But only relevant candidates are allowed into the debates. If Ralph Nader isn't relevant than why does everyone blame Nader?

  • Here is a list of legislation that Ralph Nader was instrumental in passing... Clean Air Act Clean Water Act Consumer credit disclosure law Consumer Product Safety Act Co-Op Bank Bill Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Freedom of Information Act Funeral home cost disclosure law Law establishing Environmental Protection Agency

  • @halcyon0830

    "Ralph Nader created and passed..."

    If I'm not mistaken it's the elected officials in the US government creates and pass acts.

    Nader however has never so much as been elected dog catcher.

  • Why don't you look up the history of each and every one of the Laws and Organizations that I listed, Ralph Nader's name can be found in the history and encyclopedia pages of each and every one of them. He started them, created them, the congress made them formal, and passed them.

  • @halcyon0830

    So nader didn't pass any of them now did he?

  • @halcyon0830

    Big shock like most nader fanatics you're an idiot and full of shit.

  • Did I ever say that Ralph Nader was a member of Congress?? He created everything I listed and lobbied hard for the congress to pass them.

    Now put Obama's Neocon Corporatist Bush-Clone dick back in your mouth.

  • @halcyon0830

    You said he passed those bills now stop dick riding Nader and get a job you worthless bum.

  • ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the new layout COPY AND PASTE IF YOU HATE THE NEW YOUTUBE

  • yes all your points are true and taken but what is your point? Live in your little world and fantasize. Nader, Kucinich will never win a majority of votes (and if you looked at their records not as holy as you think) and gee you know what Gore WOULD have been preferable to Bush so thanks alot ivory tower dreamers, we're all screwed now.

  • @Election08:

    The people have spoken. Leave Nader alone!

  • Ralph Nadar is a guardian angel of the rights of the nobody. He is definitely one of my heros. I fear for the world's future unless more real radical, uncorruptible, righteous and truthful champions of justice can be forstered and encouraged to scream the issues however unpopular or disagreeable. I believe in this man and what he HAS to say. He is a beacon of reason and hope in a utterly poisoned society

  • this guy is a pindick,Ralph RULES!!!

  • How is Nader responsible for costing Al Gore the 2000 election?

    Al Gore WON the 2000 election!

    He received 500,000 more votes than George W. Bush. And he received more electoral votes when the majority of Floridans voted for him.

    That election was stolen! Al Gore won! Don't blame Nader!

  • uh yeah it was stolen ...because it was so damn close in Florida where Nader siphoned off thousands of vote...do you get it now????

  • Yes, but Gore still would have won had the sixty thousand people not been disenfranchised.

    And as far as potential Gore voters leaving their ranks, 200,000 Florida Democrats voted for Bush.

    The only reason the election was close was because Gore's campaign was so weak. Democrats couldn't see much difference between Bush and Gore (and voted for Bush by the millions).

    Blame Jeb Bush for rigging the election or Gore for sucking. Don't blame Nader.

  • everyone should have the right to run for president you dumb fuck. It's people like you that ruined the democratic party. You probably think Bill Clinton is a hero, you baboon. He is directly responsible for the current financial crisis. USA RIP

  • as the great bill hicks once said ... obama was allowed into a room where a big screen came down , and a video of JFK assassination rolled from an angle no one have ever seen before, and at the end they asked him !! any questions ?? ..... even though i didn't vote for obama , iam proud that i will always support nader and kucinich .. the lesser of two evils is an evil ... i would never vote for bush/obama/maccain/clinton or anyone who needs the approval of coorporations and lobbies

  • you fools seen the obama deception yet? it's the most widely viewed movie on the internet!

  • I'm not a man of faith or religion, but the existence of individuals such as Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich, and Noam Chomsky, has greatly increased my faith in humanity.

    Wake up people. Obama is more of the same. The House barely passed a LACKLUSTER HealthCare, and a lot of Obama's policies are centrist/ centrist-right.

  • I applaud any politician who proves he isn't controlled and funded by corporate greed, like Ron Paul, Kucinich, and Nader.

    This video just proves that you and the majority of Americans are fucking lemmings being led off a cliff.

  • Ron Paul!!! Nuff said. Good ole boy he is.

  • nader paul kucinich gravel

  • I won't bother trying to convince you of anything, but I want to at least try to stop your poison from infecting others. Anybody has the right to run and, more importantly, anybody has the right to vote for someone who reflects their values and isn't pro-war like both Clintons and Obama has proven to be. Taking Nader out takes away our right to representation and we have the right to vote for him. Take a look at all the comments that prove Nader wasn't responsible for Florida. That's a cop out.

  • i love kucinich! and nader is awesome! nader should have gotten that nobel peace prize!

  • The man doesn´t care about himself you imbecile. He has worked tirelessly for nearly 50 years to protect you and everyone you know. Get your head out of your ass

  • Yeah, great job he did protecting us from GWB!

  • What a weak, inane retort. I refer you to the previous messages, Bush stole the election, Gore laid down and let him. May I also remind you, the American people voted him in twice and his fucking evil, pedophile father too. Your system is to blame pal, try blaming that and not the man who wants to reform it

  • Well, Dicky, I agree almost completely except I don't know what more you think Gore should have done. And, seriously, if Nader hadn't been such a narcissistic tool, he would have read the handwriting (polls) on the wall and withdrawn prior to election day FOR THE SAKE OF THE NATION.

  • Thank you.

  • Hey Dicky, please go back and review the facts. The only reason Bush got close enough to steal the damn thing is because retards lie you voted for Nader so it was insanely close. On behalf of America and 100,000 dead Iraqis: Stick the self righteous rhetoric up your sorry ass.

  • You and your countrymen are responsible for one million dead Iraqis and countless Afghans, innocent Panamanians, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Red Indians. Not to mention the way you treat your own poor disenfranchised. Why can't you stay at home? More blameless people would live longer

  • it was more like 750 000 dead iraqis.

  • Are you for real? His ego is bigger than Texas.

  • Your ignorance is astounding

  • ... but Kucinich is great!

  • Clinton and Obama are currently proving just how similar their foreign policy, which is dictated by the principle of American Primacy and ally-ism, is to the republican party. The concept of trying to control all the world is a universal between the two parties. There is definitely a place for third parties and independents.

  • fanofgg65, Third Parties won't have any better luck trying to rein-in the runaway Military Industrial Complex (Pentagon) than Clinton or Obama have had.

    Oh, and "Independents"? You mean like Lieberman??? ROFLMAO!

  • So fucking stupid. This is not anonymous. This is bullshit partisan statist crap. Fuck you, your president, your parties, and your government.

  • Sometimes you don't win but you fight for the right reasons. In America, that time is now, until we do win.

  • This has to be one of the best, funniest and most insightful comments on progressive politics I've ever seen. I want to force Nader to watch it over and over, Clockwork Orange-style.

  • my vote woke up the other day and cried "calculus-rape" whatta prima donna

  • this is hilarious. I vote funny. Very funny. "oh, that's right...it kind of sucked."

  • Gore stole votes from Nader in 2000. He cost Nader the election. Face it, Gore had no chance of winning.

  • That's right, If Gore wouldn't have ran Nader would have won.

    Gore that bastard vote stealer

  • Every independent party got more than the 537 votes that Gore needed to win Florida. Why don't you blame the Socialist Party or the Constitution party?

  • I blame the hip hop.

  • yeah,stay anonymous you computerised douchebag.ralph nader has done more for this country than bush/cheney/obama/biden/gore/l­ieberman and the rest of the corporate sychophantic liars COMBINED! look up the clean water act,freedom of info act,osha etc. he is a true patriot and EVERYTHING he said about the dems/gop is true and continues to be proven.hows the war(s)/economy/forclosures going? change? hope? yeah,keep hope'n patsy.hows ur healthcare doin? nader was casting pearls before swine.

  • So what's it like not being able to recognize something that is blatantly sarcastic?

  • the blatent sarcasm fails,the joke dont work(thanks for explaining it though) this ivyskoolfratboybooshwahpsuedos­atire sucks and you status quo lovin,imperialist electin(with a brown face this time round) free market scumbags will be shown for the spineless/impudent wine and chess eating okeydoke shills that you are.hope & change..wait for the miricle people!...get the fuck outa here,dupe

  • A video on YouTube wasn't funny? Good heavens!

    No really. Are you okay? I'm being serious here.

  • wow! more sarcasm! dennis miller move over,or better yet the two of you can get togther and snap your carrots to some manga

  • I'm glad you're not a real Ralph Nader supporter. You speak for none of us.

    And I tire of you. Good day.

  • if your a REAL ralph nader supporter,i'm mahatmafuckinghandi.

    i speak for myself,never claimed otherwise.

    good day to you as well.

  • This is not anonymous. They are not a mockery.

  • Well, as of today we've had about 150 days of a Democratic [sic] House, a Democratic [sic] Senate and a Democratic [sic] White House.

    How are the RESULTS? Pretty much the same as when Republicans were in there. President Obama is escalating "Duhbbya's War", (oops, gonna have to rename that) not ending it. FISA's alive & well. Corporate welfare is bigger than ever.

    So he's articulate and not cocaine-addled. Whoop-dee-shit. When do we see some of that change that he hyped all last year?

  • you mean i have Ralph Nader to thank for 8 fucking BUSH

  • Ralph Nader didn't spoil the 2000 election. He represented a segment of opinion that is at-large unrepresented in the democratic system of the United States. Nader is merely a scapegoat for the Democratic party's shitty campaign and platform. If the Democrats had been willing to shift their party policies to INCLUDE the progressive beliefs of Nader's constituency, they would have eliminated the need for a third-party candidate and would have won the election.

  • That video was dumb. On the surface, they try to make it like that progressivism is alive and well in the Democratic Party. In reality, progressives are sadly treated like an ugly redhead stepchild while the mainstream Democratic leadership continues to soft peddle Reaganism. Progressives that voted for Nader in 2000 did so because we got tired of being taken for granted in the Democratic Party. It was DLC partisan hacks like yourselves that brought 8 years of Bush-shit.

  • Ohhhhh anon, I was expecting a serious video, once again you made me lol.

  • vote strategically? that doesn't sound very democratic. what ever happened to "vote your conscience?"

  • We got W.

  • so we should stop voting our conscience?

  • No you should stop helping the...

    Screw it Obama won without the help of you selfish jerks.

  • now that's intellingent.

  • Oh sure. I'll vote for the gee golly nicest person I know, even though they don't have a chance in hell and I might as well stay home but oh wait that's right, I must vote my conscience, cause that's so important and all.

  • @wowserstar

    If everyone voted conscience then you would actually get someone elected. Americans... so hopelessly pessimistic about voting, yet ironically voter turnout is so low. You deserve the status quo with that attitude.

  • The Nation needs Nader more than ever. Seems like those dissing you above had not focused on your brilliant use of irony throughout your webcast.

    Love it. But to those who don't ....

    Doh! ;-)

  • Do the history on 2000 election, watch American Blackout, then you will see how Katherine Harris helped scrub thousands of registered African Americans and Hispanic voters from there database only to say she had no idea.

  • Obama has already disapointed most Americans. Its al spin and gloss but hey if your a gold plated lobbyist like you seem to be then taking pot shots at some one who has truth and sincerity on his mind when it cames to politics talking in a monotone voice must be right up your back alley, get it dick head

  • I gotta say, this is hilarious.

    But sadly so f'n wrong that the humor is negated.

  • that is a terrible fallacious argument. The democrats have for years been as far right as the republicans. Tactics like this destroy democracy.

  • Yeah, it's bullshit. Guess what "Anonymous", Obama is already proving himself to be as bad as Bush. No surprise, you should have looked up his Senate record. And who do you think enabled Bush these past years? How about a Democratic Congress too pussy to stand up to the most impeachable President in US History?

  • Whoa whoa whoa! How is Obama as bad as Bush? Sure I know nothing about this political stuff, but from what I know Bush is a retarded Nazi. I didn't see what Obama went wrong yet, he's doing good from what I see.

  • Bailouts that don't do a thing for our economy, taking over car companies for no good reason, not shutting up Nancy Pelosi, trying to nationalize health care, raising taxes on the people that can get this economy going again, speaking out against the stock market... Obama's record so far looks stellar.

    Yeah, Bush was a terrible president on some issues, but he was no Nazi. Hitler, Goering, and those guys from Raiders of the Lost Ark were Nazis.

    Please... be fair. Both presidents aren't good.

  • So you want the economy to recover naturally? Thatt's like recovering from cancer naturally. Car companies are behind and substandard. They need restructuring.

    Healthcare should be nationalised because it's a government's job to take care of its old and sick. Not left to greedy profitmakers to prey on our weakest.

    The rich can get our economy going again? They are too busy trying to dodge the tiny taxes anyway. Trying to avoid their duty to their country and society- they are scabs.

  • al gore didnt even win his home state. Thats a rule, if u cant even win yer frickin home state, then u dont deserve to be president; and yes, I approve this message

  • Obama is now your President.

    lol sucks to be you.

  • Yay, let's all blame Ralph Nader! We all know that the 51 million who voted for Bush, did not have anything to do with Bush being in office. DAMN YOU NADER for then voting 62 million times for Bush's second term!

  • heeee-larious

  • Well It takes Assholes to suck the headers off the Beer While the Whiskey is being done by the Patriots. Welcome to New Youtube Politics arena. Get your Brylcream because your going to be vaseline before it is all over.

  • Anonymous is a bunch of bitches.

    WE HATE ANONYMOUS! FUCK OFF!

  • this is fucking scary.

  • Wow, what a great video, it is so intelligent to play the "Kucinich looks like a drawing" card.

    (since sarcasm doesn't translate too well in writing, I'm going to be clear : that was sarcastic. Obviously.)

  • where did you get those voices?!

  • yes cry Obama people,cry for the people who really lost..the poor,the uninsured children,the hundreds of thousands of children killed in a corporate run war.Watch how this historical situation will become evn more of one as America continually spirals out of control from a corporate owned new version of Ronald Reagan.

    Oh people,please use more than 5% of your minds!!ooops too late..

    prepare yourselves my comrades .we know whats coming..do they??

  • This is your mind on crack...

  • "And seatbelts. We freakin' love seatbelts."

    LOL.

  • let nader debate! Stop the Bull Crap with the spoiler propaganda..tired of hearing it!

  • eat a dick

  • i love this vid! Sent it as a comment on myspace to many friends.

  • THat damn Nadar he cost Gore the election!! 1million votes would've been 4 Gore. OBAMA OBAMA bitch Nadar

  • 250,000 registered democrats voted for Bush in 2000.

  • LET NADER DEBATE!!! nader haters will eat their words.

  • we frickin love seatbelts!

  • This just in Nader is getting less than 1% of the vote.

    you know what this means?

    Nader is losing to low fat milk!

  • and homo.

  • That is not true. He was polling as high as 8%New Mexico not too long ago, for example.

  • And now Nader has shown himself to be a racist.

  • Racist? The same Nader who had a Mexican for a vice-presidential candidate? Or a Venezualan in 2004? Hell, even HE had a woman for a VP in 2000, a Native-American activist at that.

  • He DID suggest Obama might be an "Uncle Tom." If not racist, it certainly isn't very sensitive to the circumstance, and highly inappropriate.

  • How did he suggest? He said that's the question that he has to face. And you know what, judging from his actions towards the Black community, I myself say he is an Uncle Tom!!!

  • "...But his choice, basically, is whether he is going to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country, or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations." He is basically saying he can work for and with us, or he can kow tow to Big Oil and Big Insurance and Big Banks.  Anyone who cannot comprehend that has serious problems and should get their head checked. How its racist? Because its a "bad word"? The politically correct crowd loves to control your language, and they care nothing for context.

  • It's kinda obvious he only likes them when they do what he tells them too.

  • Please provide proof. For if you watch Camejo and Gonzalez, you will see that they are their own men.

    Never mind. Continue to be blind...

  • Your the one that's blind to the fact that Nader called Obama an Uncle Tom.

  • Did Nader say "Barack Obama is an Uncle Tom"?

    No, he did not. YOu must be blind AND deaf.

    Peace.

  • No he just wondered if he was going to represent the people or be an uncle tom to the corporations as he had in the past.

  • It's a perfectly valid thing to wonder.

  • How much starch do your sheets require?

  • I don't getcha. Sense would be a great thing to make.

  • Do you really wear those pointed hats to hide the shape of your heads?

  • haha you are funny... and just as ignorant as those guys with pointed hats

  • Don't make fun of your ideological brothers.

  • I see stupid people are still talking about this tripe. Great to know that so many of us just parrot bullshit instead of thinking for themselves.

  • And you've shown yourself to be a mindless idiot. What's new? Democrats are all the same, a bunch of whiny babies who can't take even the tiniest criticism.

  • haha good one.

  • Congratulations on stealing a joke from Jay Leno of all people.

  • Congratulations on your voting for Nader the racist.

  • don't be a hater vote for ralph nader

  • If you actually review a little AmericanHistory youll come to realize that the problems in the Government have always been the same since the beginning. Bureaucrats and the wealthy run our country! Where is the middle class man in congress where I ask you? They spoon feed you that they grew up in a shitty house and stuff but they don't care anymore look at where they are now! If your senate cared about the middle man..do you think they would have passedabill to give the rich more money they lost

  • Oh, I didn't realize Bin Laden was in Afghanistan. You should call up the army and let them know.

  • Things COULD be changed easier from the inside. That's why I'm voting for those I believe might actually 'change' things from the inside.

    And Nader is 'screwing up the country.' LOL It's CONGRESS and the EXECUTIVE BRANCH who failed to reform health care, who vote for liberty infringing patriot acts, who failed on energy, who want to continue a war in Afghanistan. Congress who let the banking system run amok then give them billions when they fail. Those are the people 'screwing up our country.'

  • You're retarded.

  • I love CORPORATE WELFARE and I want to send MORE TROOPS to AFGHANISTAN.

    That's why I'M VOTING OBAMA 08!!!

  • It's either Afghanistan with Obama whitch is a good choice because of Bin Ladin, or the pointless Iraq war with old war sick dumbass McCain. Take your pick.

  • I also suggest you take a look at all the major national/state polls that include Nader, against the ones that do not and ask yourself:

    Why is it, that when Nader is added into the choices for president, nearly every single major poll shows Obama's lead over McCain increase?

  • please dont vote for Nader, you know he wont win, vote obama insted if u guys never voted nader al gore would win. nader steals demacrats votes. BUSH IS NADERS FUALT!!

  • I didn't know who Nader was until a few months ago thanks to the media blackout, & that was only because of the inernet that I could bypass the media

    I'm digusted with the Democrats in how their policis are so similar to the Republicans & their tactic for winning is to bully 3rd party voters to make them feel guilty for voting for someone they themselves conceed is better.

    The fact is that more Democrats voted for Bush than Nader in 2000. Blame them as Nader voters voted AGAINST Bush.

  • Nathan5763-somehow, I'm just not buying advice or facts from you. Based on your spelling I'm guessing you're, what--10?

    Research Nader and his background; do some homework before you parrot something you probably heard in line at the grocery store.

  • Yes I'm young not 10 though, and even know if I haven't researched Nader doesn't mean that I don't know he will lose. He is screwing up America. And I can spell; I was in a hurry.

  • Okay, Nathan. How is Nader screwing up America, exactly? And what are your references for making that statement?

  • If Nader never ran most people would of voted for Al Gore who voted for Nader, therefore no Bush which means America wouldn't be a joke which it is now.

  • I'm sure Bin Laden would have called off the attacks on the Twin Towers if Gore won the election. Not.

  • Dude...Ralph Nader is probably one of the most underestimated guys of our decade! The only reason he isn't taken seriosuly is because the bureaucrats stop him from speaking out against them. You cry about Nader screwing up? He actually helped this country! He has formed several organizations for your freedom and you mock him? THE ARROGANCE! America is so dumb these days, the people don't know whats good for them, they only accept the lies corporations pump into them!

  • How pathetic that someone who admits they know nothing about Nader would make a claim that he screws up America. Nathan, do yourself a favor, go to his website. He has 40 issues he addresses. Pick your top 3. After you read his stand on them, and how he would address them, ask yourself:

    A: Why, if this seems so easy and makes so much sense, doesn't Obama/McCain adopt it?

    B: If it seems outlandish, why don't they compare their platforms to this to win votes from Nader supporters?

  • Be smart & vote for those who most represent you. In my case that would currently be Nader

    and other independents, greens etc.

  • º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨ „ø¤º°¨

    ¨°º¤ø„ Vote „ø¤º°¨

    ¸„ø¤º°¨Nader ``°º¤ø„¸

    ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø

  • I can't remember. Did Gore win his home state in 2000? hmmmm...

  • Yeah, Obama makes me cry sometimes too.

    I'm astounded at the amount of close mindedness, and bigotry against alternative candidates and viewpoints.

    So how many troops did Obama want to send to Afghanistan again? I forget. I thought troop surges were bad? Oh well.

  • It may be true that the people that voted for Nader would have voted for Gore otherwise..but the people who voted for Nader voted for him because they liked him better.
