Ralph Nader - Why Democrats Lose

[73849309378]

Nader is one of the few decent candidates to run in the last 20 years. Too bad the apathetic, TV-brainwashed, low information American voters just keep voting for the Democrat-RepubliCON Corporate War Party and wonder why things just keep getting worse.

[musicprodave]

Democrats lose simply because their socialist agenda is not received by Real American people who respect the Constitution. That's why. I know you progressives will swear at me but the truth is the truth.

[robaquarian]

@musicprodave your retarded if you think democrats are socialists. dont forget over 50 percent of america are democrats and want health care and education etc. democrats are for corporate controlled health care, war,and police state as they republicans are. the republican are for wall street socialism and socialism for the military which we dont need. so why do yo only pick on socialism when it comes to the welfare state?why are you not bothered by fascism? thats the real problem of both parties

[Wilone328]

Barak's Health Care Attempt... Do you believe in this gov's bill? Check out my youtube channel and See exactly why Americans thoughts matters !!

[dowshipwigga]

In the 2012 election I'll be just turning 18. And I am going to vote for Ralph Nader. Support the PFP :)

[SeeProverb12]

Shut that commie down! You kicked that old mans butt. Your still just a democrap though. You should think of switching sides, your a great debater. Good video. If al gore won we'd all been screwed with his global warming hoax bullcrap. liberals are fruitcakes served on dog platters.

[timtipton5071256]

@SeeProverb12 well said man...

[redbonegal]

Nader did a TOTAL SHUTDOWN of the ignorant fool in the audience!! Thats why nobody will debate him. Obama And McCain certainly would not.

[BLeacHpwnzjoo]

Nader is a true inspirtation, he doesn't hide what he's really thinking about the issues and is always well educated and clear about the subject.

[shyguy474747]

Real positions of the Left: reply to RepublicanVenu

WAR IS WORNG (there has never been a good war or a bad peace)

MOVE ON (wat?)

COORPORATIONS ARE EVIL(they shouldn't have control in washington)

FREE SPEACH AND TOLORENCE (4 everyone)

NO VIOLENCE (protests arent violent, riots are, riots begen when police beat the ignored and unheard)

NO RACISM OR SEXISM (its wrong no matter wat)

FUCK THE POLICE (no, but its wrong 2 arest ppl 4 victomless crimes or without cause, same thing.

[shyguy474747]

That guy in the audience is an ignorant prick.

Nader schooled that fool

[lesterburnham]

haha. Wow, and this eloquent statement comes from "BombJapan"?

Makes sense.

...Well, I'm off to go "throw away" my vote.

Have fun being pissed about it.

[j97hou6]

Conservatives hate freedom,

hate free speech except for crazy christian theories,

hate America, they shove their wack-job viewpoints and laws of abortion upon everyone.

They torture and murder trillions of animals each year by eating meat, wearing fur. They are crybabies demanding war for giving more $ to the rich, but are anti-war cowards if the war favors distributing wealth to the poor, freeing prisoners in American jails, freeing animals from factory farms and labs.

[MisterTissueBox]

Those are neo-cons.

[j97hou6]

All the anti-American unpatriotic fuckheads who voted Demopub and Republicrat in 2000 & 2004 are responsible for Nader or Greens not being President right now.

That wackjob conspiracy-theorist who dared to tell American hero and patriot Ralph Nader that he has "no chance in hell" should be charged with treason and executed for his disrespect. Would this same nut ask Bush why Bush caused 911? Of course not, because he's a coward.

[JJavenger1988]

Have fun getting fucked up the ass by your candidate.

Retards, just like the zombie movie this campaign has on its channel.

ARE RAMPANT!!!

AND AS OF THIS MINUTE, YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM, OR AT LEAST ANOTHER PART OF IT.

PLEASE GET OFF OF THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO INCITE HATE.

THANKS, SIR.

[voltairian3]

Ralph is the real deal.

[0613162k]

Well then Ron Paul must be a liberal aswell because he was against the war on terror and just like the "liberals" understands that war backfires on national security as innocent civilians are kiled which provokes revenge attacks, again at civilians expense.

As Martin Luther King said in his opposition to the Vietnam war, whilst you don't condone the actions of the so called enemy, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to understand their actions and what we could be doing to provoke such hatred.

[0613162k]

Watch youtube video entitled:

" Conservative Ralph Nader by the southern Avenger "

Shows how NAder is more conservative than McCain, Bush & Romney.

Also watch youtube video entitled:

" Ron Paul and Ralph Nader on CNN 9/10/08 "

[0613162k]

You don't speak for every one. Notice that supporters of Nader & the Green Partyy never called for the exclusion of the Republicans or Democrats from the debates, only to be fairly represented. Nader is a viable national candidate on 45 state ballots, yet voters are given less choices on the debates than will be on the ballot. Whereas the Republican & Democrats exclude 3rd parties, & their own true anti war candidates e.g Ron Paul, Kucinich & Gravel.

[simple0981]

Ralph is a national treasure, stop scapegoating and start talking about the issues.

[0613162k]

Ralph Nader is more conservative than Bush and McCain.

Despite the myths of costing the democrats the election, he actually got more votes than Republicans than Democrats.

Since when did conservatives support deficit spending an an over bloated miltary budget >50% of gov. spending, and on billons of $ on corporate bailouts at taxpayers expense? answer- when Bush & McCain abandoned conservative values

Watch youtube video entitled:

"Conservative Ralph Nader by the Southern Avenger"

[Whoo69]

When everyone is an Independent in Congress or wherever, then there is no need to waste time trying to decide who gets the majority. Candidates can be as liberal or as conservative as need be. Moderates won't have to feel ashamed because their party doesn't seem to give a fuck about them. There will be no party whips or party leaders when everyone is an Indy. No one to tell us how to vote or who to vote for and punish Congressmen if they vote "the wrong way."

[Whoo69]

Democrats need to stop blaming 3rd-party candidates for their failures and start growing a spine. Liberals and progressives need to stop endorsing candidates just because their party nominated them!! I mean, my God, George McGovern, have you no shame?? Endorsing Barack Obama over a great progressive like Ralph Nader? And for what, because he's "got a chance to win"?? All these Dems are endorsing him in lockstep just b/c he's a Democrat and the nominee, not b/c he's truly qualified. Pathetic.

[Whoo69]

Blind partisanship has got to stop! I think the law shoulud require EVERY candidate for office to be an Independent. There shall be no parties, period. That way, at least, we can minimize partisanship, and every candidate will have to come up with HIS OWN unique platform and stop parroting the views of a bunch of other like-minded folks. Citizens will no longer have to vote their party, but instead, they can vote their conscience. They can stop being beholden to party mentality.

[Whoo69]

George Washington was absolutely right. Political parties serve to do more damage to this country than good.

[Whoo69]

The Democrats can go fuck themselves! They have no idea what it takes. It was only when the Republicans fucked things up so badly by 2006 did they even have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the majority in Congress again. And even then, what have they done, other than minor 'ethics reform'?? They have no balls. Nader does.

Barack Obama has neither the leadership skills nor experience or qualifications to serve. Nader got a lot more done in the 60s and 70s than Obama ever will.

[Whoo69]

It saddens me that so many Democrats and progressives have fallen for this false prophet known as Barack Obama. They treat him like the 2nd Coming of Christ! It's madness. Whoever would've thought that a presidential candidate would come along that actually is not only favored as a nominee but thought of by many as some kind of Hollywood celebrity?? Who woulda thunk it!

Jump OFF the Obama bandwagon and jump on the Nader campaign. Obama is impotent.

[tattypatty]

Good comeback. Keep telling people to shut up. That'll solve America's ills. This November, we will find out who else will never be president. It might be Obama. It might be McCain. But either way, the next 4 years will be a disaster...

[skedaddleMLS]

wow, I don't even believe in heaven and Naders response got me all blubbering. Its good to know there are still some decent people out there.

[skedaddleMLS]

our democracy/republic is a joke.

[tattypatty]

Idiots who vote for one guy in order to keep the other guy from winning. Obama is balls deep in the mortgage scandal, yet will get votes from people who are simply frightened of McCain/Palin. And wasn't McCain being vilified by the GOP faithful prior to him taking the nomination? Like I said, you've done this to yourselves by voting for Tweedledee and Tweedledum all these years. Enjoy your slide into chaos....

[tattypatty]

"Shut up". Good comeback. McCain has a shot because you only have TWO FUCKING PARTIES. Now go back to sleep while your country continues to circle the drain. You idiots brought this on yourselves...

[travelfar22]

vote Nader

and it's very important to spread the word.

WE MUST BECOME THE MEDIA!(utilizing the Internet)

"Any dictator would admire the uniformity

and obedience of the U.S. media"

-Noam Chomsky

[tattypatty]

You made a crack about Nader being old. Aside from your silly political comments (which are subjective) I find it hilarious/confusing that you would criticize the age of a candidate while supporting a 72 year old's run at the White House....

[Crickettedog]

@TheRepublicVenu: One month ago you made the following statement. "Somebody please kill Nader already, he is a useless fool" Ron Paul, Ralph Nader and several others are presidential candidates.

[Crickettedog]

@TheRepublicVenu: Ralph Nader has forgotten more than you will ever know. Any American citizen that doesn't know their American history is a loser.

[Crickettedog]

It is a federal offence to speak of killing a presidential candidate whether it be said for fun or being serious. What do you know about Ralph Nader? Isn't he cute enough for you? When you make accusations that you cannot prove or make statements that you cannot validate, isn't it time for you to face reality? Anyone can accuse anyone of anything, We used to do that in grade school. When you are a child, you are not expected to think like an adult. What's your excuse?

[tattypatty]

Older than McCain?

[relgstorm]

it's depressing the number of closed minded people that think that just because we don't want to vote republican that democrat is the only answer! for me democrats and republicans do not represent my interests, so i have no interest in them! ralph nader represents my interests which in include the end to the war on drugs, open presidential debates, electoral reform, the end of the war in iraq, universal health care not the mandatory universal health insurance the dems want! and the list goes on!

[relgstorm]

republicvenu, more hypocritical hate from you.. you tell us to leave the country? we need to run evil people like you off our land! you sir do not make any sense with your hate mongering and people would do well not to listen to your venomous hate filled diatribes... it's our land i love it too, i think i love it more than you, i care enough to fight the stars and stripes of corruption!

[Crickettedog]

@TheRepublicVenu: Would you like to be addressed as a Nazi, or do you prefer a Fascist? No one has to leave America, Americans are protected by the Constitution. Have you ever read it or the Bill of Rights. It is obvious that you have never been taught American history in school and that you have not idea how your government functions. What have you done for your your country? Cowards usually don't do anything for their country. United we stand and divided we fall. You will learn the hard way.

[ManieurdePistolet]

I'm not a leftist. I'm right handed.

[ManieurdePistolet]

I deserve what? Do you have a purpose with what you're writing, or are you just writing random shit?

[ManieurdePistolet]

Does your name calling have a point, or are you just an internet troll?

[ManieurdePistolet]

I don't have socialist views, smart guy. As I just said, you don't know my views, because all I've been doing is disagreeing with you, because you're a dick.

[ManieurdePistolet]

What are my views? So far, I've just been disagreeing with you. It has nothing to do with politics, I just think you're an asshole.

[ManieurdePistolet]

Yes, Russia is at war, that's true, but so is your flawless America, smart guy. And as for calling yourself "we," as if you are the voice of the entire country, your twisted morals don't fit the morals of 98% of the people in America.

By the way, did you just call me a "commie freak," as in referring to Communism? I believe I told you this before, but I'm with no political party. I believe that you just have no life other than trolling youtube.

[ManieurdePistolet]

No, not "hail America." That's pride. You're a Christian, are you not? Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. I'm not a Christian, and even I know that (mostly because Seven was a really good film). How about "hail the world," next time, man?

[beachdood2]

Nader is the shit. We someone like him that actually has a pair of balls and isnt full of crap. He speaks the truth and works for a positive change

[smellyfooty]

American Economy guy, ...looks like the depression is on you. Nowhere else(yet)

see you soon(trying to deport)....

[iCITIZEnP0WER]

Who ran in 2000 ?

Algore + Lieberman VS Bush + Cheney

Same shit !

[ManInTheBox0784]

That guy was owned.

[ManieurdePistolet]

Well, you disapprove of assistance of the French forces, as well as the Canadian forces, without which, World War II would have been lost, therefore, you did say that.

[ManieurdePistolet]

You act like you speak for everybody. What do you think this is, a fascism? I'll leave when I have the money to leave. Until then, I'm still an American citizen.

[ManieurdePistolet]

I didn't say anything about the American economy defeating anything. I said that the European and Canadian economies influence the American economies, just as the American economy influences them.

The U.N. is not useless. Sure, they don't do much now, but back when they were needed, they prevented another World War. I guess you would have liked that, though.

Without Canada, there would be no American made automobiles. The Japanese company automobiles, however, are made in America.

[ManieurdePistolet]

The U.N. stabilized Europe, so as not to cause World War III to break out. Europe provides America with economic balance, and Canada produces American automobiles. You should be grateful for all of them, smart guy.

[ManieurdePistolet]

If America was more like Canada after World War II, the Soviet Union would never have bothered with us. What don't you fail to understand? There were two opposing sides forcing the Cold War on; the Soviet Union, and America. If America just left the Soviet Union alone, and allowed the U.N. to restore peace to Europe, then there would have never been any problems.

Canada isn't a proxy, because the British don't use them to fight their wars. You obviously don't know what a proxy is.

[ManieurdePistolet]

There were four forces working to defeat Hitler; Britain, France, America, and Canada. You can also technically count the Soviet Union, but I don't, because if it wasn't for them, France would have never been captured. See, Germany was fighting a two-sided war. On one side with France, and on the other with the Soviet Union. Then the Soviet Union signed a treaty with Germany, and stood down. Germany then focused all attention of France.

You rally wanted Germany to win the war, didn't you?

[Whoo69]

Australia also was an Ally, you know.

[ManieurdePistolet]

Okay. I wasn't talking about Australia, though.

[ManieurdePistolet]

If America was anything like Canada, there would have been no Cold War, smart guy.

[ohnoyoudidntx]

Canada is a peaceful tolerant nation who treats their people with respect and justice unlike America.

[ohnoyoudidntx]

America is the current day Nazis. Not only is the country imposing Christian beliefs into people's throats and not allowing Freedom of religions, they are also sexist, racist and homophobic.

[ManieurdePistolet]

America didn't defeat Nazi Germany, you dolt! They were busy FIGHTING THE JAPANESE IN THE PACIFIC! You really have no idea what transpired during World War 2, do you? It was mainly the British that defeated the Nazis.

[ManieurdePistolet]

The U.S. did hardly anything to defeat Hitler's forces, smart guy. They were busy fighting their own war in the Pacific. World War 2 was won by not just the United States, but the British, French, and the Canadians.

The Canadian forces are highly trained. Take the New Orleans flooding, for example. Mounties got there before U.S. forces could. They came from Canada, on a boat, and got there before the Americans.

[RationalLiberty]

this other guy using americas military as a legitimate bearing for greatness is a hack. Your right about Canada, and the U.S. military isnt anything how Americans would like to portray it. Canada has a lot more sense than the U.S., just like European nations. They even put the U.S. and Israel on a torture list i think. It seems anything left of fascist isnt good enough for this other guy

[ManieurdePistolet]

TheRepublicVenu is a moron, that's why. He's clearly proven over and over that he doesn't abide by the constitution, and yet calls people who do, unpatriotic.

[ManieurdePistolet]

Do you know how strong the Canadian military is compared to the U.S. military? Do you know how many times the Canadian military saved America during World War 2? Take the Battle of Normandy, for example. On one side, it was Hitler's forces. On the other, it was the British, the French, the Americans, and the Canadians. Without Canada's assistance, Hitler would have won the war.

[ManieurdePistolet]

Canada rocks.

[berliita]

In my opinion, even if the 2000 elections weren't stolen, and even if it could be proven that the votes that went to Nader would, if Nader had dropped from the race, go to Gore - still, Nader could not have been accused of stealing Gore's votes, or of undermining Gore's chance at the presidency. How so?

[berliita]

Since all Nader did, and does, is offering an alternative. It's up to the voters to THINK and decide if they WANT to give him their votes. So, if anyone's to blame for taking votes from Gore it's those VOTERS, who gave their votes to Nader over Gore; not Nader.

[chewwook]

wacko

[ronpollypocket]

votenicdotcom sais it all

[sqharawa]

I imagine the man who asked the question shrank a bit in his seat. Ralph is the man!

[shudderbug]

Ralph Nader gives a very convincing argument why third parties should participate in presidential elections. There has been no one over the last 40 years who has had a more positive impact on our society. If people can't see that, they are not looking. Go Nader/Gonzalez in 2008. You are our best hope for democracy. As a former Democratic Party, I am disgusted by the policies and practices of the current Democrats, except for Kucinich, Feingold, and a few others. Go Green Party.

[crazygolfer333]

Not many doubt this man's impact on our society. However, your philosophy is what put Bush in office in 2000 and 2004.

[TomSwervo1]

Even the Democrats don't say that Kerry lost because of Nader in 2004...

[shudderbug]

My philosophy is to vote for the person who best represents my ideals and values. My philosophy is not to vote for the lesser of two evils. If you do that, you still get a lesser evil.

[crazygolfer333]

Your philosophy may make you feel all cozy inside but it's a vote wasted. You might as well sit at home and abstain, it'll have the same affect.

[shudderbug]

That is what is great about America; we each decide how we choose to cast our vote. One single vote is just as important as any other.  If you think the Democrats or the Republicans best represent your interests, then vote for them. But if you don't vote for the individual and/or party that comes closest to standing up for the ideas and values in which you believe, it is you, not me, who has thrown his vote away.

[crazygolfer333]

You could always write in "Mickey Mouse", I've heard he gets a few 1000 votes. Truth is, not a single third-party candidate has gotten a delegate since 1968. Our system is an electoral college, not based on popular vote. It's really not fair, nor is life. Great country we live in. Nader is really just a liberal Democrat who became disgruntled with the party about 18 years ago, period. He knows he can't win, just like you know it. It's red and blue all day long.

Your vote doesn't count.

[shudderbug]

When they count the votes, my vote counts, just the same as your vote counts.

[crazygolfer333]

It counts as a wasted vote.

[shudderbug]

Coming from a crazygolfer, I'll take that with a grain of salt.

[crazygolfer333]

I'm actually not an avid golfer...I think I'm just crazy. But definitely not as crazy as a shudderbug that's willing to waste a vote on Ralph Nader.

[shudderbug]

Here's some reality for you. I live in California. Obama will win the state against McCain. Using your theory, anyone who votes for anybody, other than Obama in California, will have wasted their vote. I don't think my votes is wasted. You are welcome to your opinion.

[crazygolfer333]

O well, at least you don't live in a swing state. Nader's real purpose, in my opinion, is to put pressure on the Democrats by pushing issues that they ignore. I don't disagree with any of the man's ideas, but I think that the Dems are just now integrating more of his ideas into their current platform. Example: taking out special interests and corporate lobbying in Washington. Corporations don't belong in our government. It will be hard work but it has to be done.

[Freshmanwave]

No it doesn't. It's called voting my conscience. Of course, that's what's so great about Canada and its multi-party political system.

And by the way, why even vote someone you don't like? Doesn't that authorise them to do more things you don't like? Maybe it's time you took off these partisan glasses.

[crazygolfer333]

If Canada is so great, why does Quebec want to become a sovereign nation? Canada is so lame!

I realize that the world disapproves of America's policies, that's obvious. I don't believe that the Democrats are the lesser evil. They aren't as progressive as the Greens but definitely have a platform I can respect. You all make the Democrats out to be the same as the Republicans and that's just NOT true.

[Freshmanwave]

The majority of Quebecois don't want to break away from Canada, so that part isn't right. I won't even address the "lame" accusation here.

If the Democrats are truly different, what they would have done by now is cut off the funding for the Iraq war. They would have given America our style of health care. They would have cut the military budget...the list goes on. Nader is right: corporations have too much control in the political duopoly that is America.

[crazygolfer333]

How are they supposed to get universal health care when the bill will be vetoed by George W. Bush?

[votenader08]

It's called an "override."

Alas, we have the most gutless, spineless Congress, so unless the People let their representative know they'll be voted out of office (and replaced by a third party candidate who WILL fight for universal healthcare)...things won't change.

You start to change things by denying the Republicans and Democrats the vote!

Rommel

Nader/Gonzalez

[crazygolfer333]

Don't you need 2/3 of the vote to "override" the veteo? I'm not sure the Dems have the numbers.

[crazygolfer333]

We need universal healthcare, Ralph's assistant. I totally agree with you on that. I wish that Barack would take a stronger stance on that issue. I'm wondering why he believes his plan will work better than universal healthcare. His plan makes it cheaper but their will still be PROFIT HUNGRY HMOs that will be consistently denying people's claims. How can a progressive candidate not be for universal healthcare? It's not even controversial idea anymore.

[crazygolfer333]

Scratch that...Barack's for universal healthcare. Still needs to make it a more prominent issue.

[votenader08]

As Deep Throat said in the great film ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN,

"Follow the money."

Who is funding Obama's campaign? Among others, Aetna.

And why don't the Democrats have the numbers? As Ralph says, "The Democrats have become very good at electing very bad Republicans!"

[jandrewmurphy]

Hello,

I'm an independent candidate for Congress who will be on the ballot with Ralph Nader in Pennsylvania's 16th district. Check out my website: johnmurphyforcongress . org and please request me as your friend on Youtube! I'm on Facebook, too, listed as "John A. Murphy."

Thanks,

John Murphy for Congress

[crazygolfer333]

I agree, get rid of the electoral college! The Democrats and Republicans love it because it basically shuts out any viable third-party candidate. If people actually voted based on their own personal platform this wouldn't be a two-party dominated system.

[sptanze]

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such an intelligent and thoughtful President. The powers that run this country fight hard to silence him. Too bad American voters don't wake up and realize what is going on. American citizens could not elect a better champion for their cause than Mr. Nader.

[relgstorm]

nader pwned that n00b! lol!

[DKLiberal08]

It's sad that we even have to discuss this in the country that calls itself "the freest nation on earth".

[flclfanman]

The U.S. Needs to go to the direct election of Presidents so that the popular vote decides the presidency and not the easily manipulated electoral college. The people have voted twice in the last 8 years for their obvious choice with the popular vote and have been screwed over by the electoral college BS.

[accountnotavailable]

NADER RULES!----He is this country's only hope! STOP THE REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRAT dichotomy! VOTE NADER! It's amazing how nice Nader was to that idiot and the rest of them that buy into the media's blame for Nader being the reason why Bush got in! Voting for the lesser of two evils is not voting at all. Bombs dropped in Iraq during the Clinton administration. Clinton signed the telcom act that allowed for verticle integration and the complete monopolization of media as we know it today! Fuck the Dems

[kurtgeorgkiesinger]

if the USA were a parliamentary republic you wouldn't have all that trouble

[millian1971]

The guy asking the question is a moron. Does he really think that the Democrats will end the war in Iraq?

[TomRyanSuperDelegate]

The reason Democrats lose is because of senile egomaniacs like Ralph Nader.

Hey Ralph: You are not Barack Obama. You never will be Barack Obama. The young people love him, and they hate you.

Have fun destroying American...again.

[3SM3x]

Barack Obama:

He voted to reauthorize the patriot act.

He said he was against the Iraq war but he voted twice to keep funding the war.

All Options on the table. NUCLEAR

Obama, McCain and Hillary are a bunch of scumbags and all of you who support them are just a bunch of ZOMBIES...

[norstate]

as someone who voted for obama in my state's primary, I love nader and may vote for him in november. it's time for people to stop blaming ralph for problems the republicans created and the democrats were to spineless to stop. obama's response to nader's candidacy was perfect when he said that it just means democrats need to be more compelling. that's one of the major points of ralph's candidacy: to get the big parties to deal with issues that matter to the people.

[jeffisreallypoonthis]

Barack Obama, even if he is elected president for the next 45092859824 years will not have the amount of influence on American history as Ralph Nader has.

[koshni66]

whoa..this guys is actually good, im 14 lolz..but i used to think this guy was the sore looser on the side that kept trying...i was rooting for Obama but this guy just may get me to convince my parents other wise...

[votenader08]

Amazing how many people stop calling Ralph names when they stop and listen to what he actually says.

Thanks for listening, and thinking.

[speaknotinearsoffool]

I also used to think that Nader was a weird old man. I had never heard about his activism or anything else. Then I realized I was just getting all my information from the media. I researched the presidential candidates and I realized that he is the only one I can ever support.

[dsmfishgal]

I hear that! Recently I was in the same position, always previously assuming the media was probably right about him being some pinko-commie and never researching it for myself. Then one day this year something sparked my interest and after much reading and listening to Nader's speeches, I am more than confident that he is the best presidential candidate and one incredibly awesome consumer advocate! He has my vote~ :)

[44MONTEREY]

Thank you Ralph Nader

Now I can vote for someone I believe in!

I'd like to see a woman President

but this authorized the invasion of other

countries, Iraq, Iran, Afgan.

I'd like to see a man of color President

but this one voted to fund the war and fund the war,

and voted to give oil companies huge subsidies.

And if you flew over someone's home and dropped bombs on them, would that make you a war criminal who's only claim to fame is being shot down.

[WK4L]

'no chance in hell' how about in heaven...NICE lol

[presidential08debate]

[doorag65]

If Obama or Clinton were to be asked any question such as this, they would simply change the subject and say something that everyone agrees to. Nader is the only politician who has solid FACTS to support his ideas. It blows me away every time. But many people in the US refuse to recognize this. It really sucks.

You used the work "ONLY" a little too loosely. It sounds dreadfully much like the media's way of distorting the truth. I am one of those that refuse to recognize that statementas the truth, not because Nader does not support his ideas with fact, but because he is NOT the "ONLY" candidate that does. For this to be truthful, you would have to add, "OTHER THAN RON PAUL, Mike Gravel and perhaps Chuck Baldwin" to the beginning of your statement. Otherwise, you sound like a reporter at Fox News.

You are right, but I was referring to any of the current presidential candidates; i certainly do not want to sound like Fox News, so I apologize.

He has my vote.

Nader can win. We must believe and push forward. I have at least two converts to the cause and hopefully I can get 12. If we all get 12 then....who the helll knows. Lets go...it's game time.
