Ralph Nader Post Presidential Debate Interview 10-7-2008 PART 1 of 3

[krissaxxjane]

I'm ashamed to lived in the same town and state as he did.

[thekaliko]

What an absolute fool. The only ones worse off than he, are those who voted for him.

[stephlibrarian]

nader is raising awareness about issues. i don't think he's meant to do all the work for the people, but is rather taking a stand publicly to raise awareness about the issues. This is a good thing, it gets people who wouldn't otherwise be interested in politics and taking a stand and fighting government.

[TheUnspeakableTruth]

I don't get it, if this is a free democracy Why doesn't Ralph obama & mccain debate on the same stage since he should be eligible? Simply because Nader would shred them & Gonzalez would own palin & joe. If there's no democracy there's no US&A

Vote Nader/Gonzalez 2008!

[atvfreelife]

that's funny how you have to get around putting a website address in the comment. I've been writing votenader.orgasm and it seems to work :)

[cungilez]

OMG! His just another politician.

[atvfreelife]

OMG! NO, he's NOT just another politician. he has an actual RECORD of standing up to big business and working on behalf of average citizens. do some homework :)

[stephlibrarian]

i got the same sentiment when watching this video, however, i am still voting for Nader because it raises awareness around the issues that people should be concerned about and fighting for. bleh, it was annoying to see him avoid answering questions directly.

[sunny4ever247]

I liked that in one of these videos Ralph admitted that he was bored to death during the debate- funny - but true- even the pro McCain and Obama Women on The View were complaining how boring it was!! not much meat for their program. A US presenditial debate at this critical hour was boring!!

Who believes it is possible?!!

It was so uptight-No fire- No passion - just polite smiles.

Ralp should have been on that stage awakenning everybody

[sunny4ever247]

Ralph always makes the best observations:

[[Ask not who Won; ask what won]]

[Ask what was discussed and what was not discussed]

Millions of americans were deprived of hearing Ralph intelligent discussion of the Econmic crisis- because it was not on TV- he was not on the Debate! That's a shame -- so unfair

[KARIN094]

The views are wrong. It shows 0 on my side for videos 2 & 3. I know this is wrong as I had to log in three times today due to my connection to view the videos. I am also absolutely positive that more people are watching these videos. Why does one have to search for these videos?

[votenader08]

Everyone please subscribe to the official Ralph Nader YouTube Channel. Thank you for posting this 5 star video.

[thankgodcpa]

Better get ready to take it to the streets folks! What are you going to do on Nov. 5th if Ralph is not our President?

[Mayoku3]

Dammit Ralph should have been in that debate. Its so frustrating watching these debates. How would these candidates possibly keep up with Nader? They speak with such irrelevancy and Nader would just embarrass them. Maybe even leave them speechless. To be honest I don't even think the CPD would invite him in even if he did get the unattainable 15%. 15% is an impossible polling number for presidential candidates. It qualifies you to be in the debate, but it doesn't mean they'll invite you.

[shellymae81]

Yeah and they wait until about a week before the invitations go out to release their 'updated' criteria. Until 2000, the standard was 10%, (thats how Perot got in the first time) Nader had what, like 11% that year and suddenly they "updated" their standard to 15. IK'm sure they would have pushed it to 20% had Nader gotten the 15.

[TexanProgressive]

America would be so much safer with Ralph Nadar as president!! McCain wants to bring on WWIII if Bush doesn't beat him to it and who knows with Obama. He was a peace candidate in the primaries and now he competes with McCain for the more Hawkish position. I HOPE Obama is pandering to the right. I HOPE he ends ballistic missile defense programs. His new stance on foreign policy doesn't seem to fit his personality, so I have HOPE that it is all talk.

Obama was packaged as a peace candidate. People were encourage to "belive" and "hope" rather than question and think. ]If he were a peace candidate, he would've been excluded from the debates like Nader, Kucinich, Ron Paul & Gravel. Instead he's promted 24/7 as he has been more effective in getting peace advocates to blindly vote for occupation in Iraq, increased war in Afghhanistan & Pakistan, sanctions on Iran, annual military aid to Israel, miltary expansion when US is in debt etc.

[0613162k]

Amy Goodman on Democracy Now is the only journalist who questioned Obama on why he would maintain occupation in Iraq, including private contractors, during the primaries.

Watch youtube video entitled:

"Amy puts Obama in the hot seat"

It also frustrates me that Obama has an artful way of making war sound friendly, so that no matter how many yeara he's aid he supports & will expand the war in Afghanistan & Pakistan, his supports refuse to belive him.

Don't mandate war with your vote.
