damn, i don't get to vote until the 2016 presidential election. i hope Ralph is still here so i can vote for him. he may be at risk of dying in office like McCain was, but at least we can feel safe when he does,knowing that he left a good legacy.
Nader was once respected.He then became an opportunist,going on FOX news to get him elected. He became an embarrassment.Yes, he helped get Bush in office for eight years.Thanks,Ralph.
@TheDorr71 Blame the voting system, it's set up so that you guys flock and baa in anger at a third party for "splitting votes" when they could just enact the progressive vote.
I was in a student group called Close Up which takes students who are active and interested in Politics on a tour of DC and participate in discussions and debates etc and one of our stops was a Ralph Nader lecture. I for one was very excited but at the end disappointed. The lecture was a very cynical one and one that did not encourage or enlighten. At the end of the lecture his "people" herded us over to a table where he would sell us one of his many books just like a contemporary politician.
As the Republican Party keeps moving towards the fascist right, the Democratic Party will follow in lockstep as long as there are no consequences for them. If they own your vote, you and what you want are completely irrelevant to them; you can be safely ignored and taken for granted just as corporate puppet Obama is doing now. Vote in the primaries for real progressives if you're so afraid of the Republicans winning in the general elections if you vote third party.
@ZepDoorBeatleCream john, be thankfull you are not in the leauge of that poor fool of a bore Nadar, if you had been in his leauge you sure the fuck wouldnt have been in the beatles, we all know that
@nastyfukker True enough. But John = Dreamer, Ralph = Doer. John would stay in bed for a week, Ralph would lobby congress for a week and get shit done.
@ZepDoorBeatleCream yeah, he got plenty done. like ensuring both Gore and Kerry lost to bush by running on a 3rd party left wing ticket in a race that was already too close to call, knowing the whole time he didnt even stand a snowballs chance in HELL of coming close to winning. Way to get shit done Nadar, you probably would have been just as effective as a president, you asswipe
@nastyfukker I mean for real, we would probably have been better off if NADAR would spend all HIS time in bad, but all he can do in bed is jerk off I bet. Lennon dont have that problem, dose he
@nastyfukker everybody on the left (Nadars own side) BEGGED Nadar not to run. But nosir, he had a point to make. Whats his point?? 'I wanted Bush to win', thats what it sounds like. I mean, we all know he couldnt win, especially HE knew it. Good job Nadar, you dipshit. Eat me Nadar, you fag, bite me
@nastyfukker You can thank Nadar for 8 years of Bush. Thank you Nadar, we are so greatful for your lobbying skills. Now go and crawl back under the piece of shit you came from please
@nastyfukker shut the fuck up! You should be greatful there are other parties out there than just two, even tho of course that all there effectively is, and that it's led by a person who has an actual genuine concern for people's/consumer's rights.
Unless you're out there making a difference, uniting people for peace and actually accomplishing something besides complaining about politics, you have no right to complain. Another thing: anyone who doesn't vote, doesn't run for government office themself or doesn't communicate effectively with elected representatives, you're not doing anything to solve problems nad make change, your only comlaining
See, heres Lennon right before all his legal/immigration problems and he's a force to be reckoned with politically. Certainly shows why the U.S. government wanted to derail him and tie him up with legal nonsense. After they started messing with him and trying to deport him all his energy had to be put into his imigration status and trying to secure his greencard which took years and completely wore him out. This guy was a crusader and fought to live in this country he loved and it killed him.
When the young people today watch these old clips,...they realize they're actually conformists,....not revolutionaries at all. You Millennials are actually the products of Baby Boomer thinkers.
@thunderbirdscarlett Um...Hello?! Perhaps you need to wake up and start informing yourself, rather than believe everything the mainstream spoon feeds you
do you really think all these retired people will want to get off their retired butts and start organizing? People worked all their lives to save for their retirement and they want to enjoy their retirement. the idea of organizing to make changes for future generations is burdensome for most retired people. you better off focusing on the young people, ralphie boy!
I saw Nadar at a rally in Crawford, Texas, everybody hates Bush even the people who live in Crawford. I ate some heavyweight brownies that night, Nadar made sense to me except he pointed out all the problems with few answers.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES What exactly does he say here that is extreme? He is talking about maximizing the democratic process here. this is good for both sides. Please explain...
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES That is incorrect. In 'Unsafe at Any Speed' Nader was advocating safety reforms in the auto industry now required by the government. Many of these reforms came as a direct result of this landmark publication; he is also responsible for the PIRGs, which have been instrumental in fighting corporate irresponsibility. Ralph Nader is a political visionary, whether you agree with him or not.
@anndeesavage No. He was also anti-american . He went after american auto makers but didn't attack foreign cars that had the same design or "problems" that he listed.. One was swing axle.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES While your 'no' isn't very specific, I'll respond to the rest of your comment... The reason he went after American automakers in 'Unsafe at Any Speed' was because Ford (I think it was the Pinto if I'm not mistaken) was KILLING people. At the time that book was published, American market share in this country was over 60%. Add that to what was happening with Ford and it only made sense to go after our companies. It isn't anti-American to try to make our cars safer.
@doyler35 And yet foreign cars had the same "faults" but he didn't go after them. And why won't Nader release his tax records? He was the candidate not to do so. He's hiding something.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES He may be hiding something about his taxes--I don't know. But I don't want him to be the President, I never said that. As far as what you keep saying about foreign cars, I already explained why he didn't go after them. This isn't about whether he is evading his taxes; it's about whether he has important things to say about government. He does. We (and you) should listen.
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES I hope that's not true, but like I said I don't know. If it is true he'd be finished. However, I don't think the fact that he won't release his tax records automatically makes him a hypocrite. It would certainly be better if he did though.
Whoa, they were talking about the two clowns act even as far back as the 70's. Amazing, all this talk and yet things never change (unless it's for the worse)!
This is why I think the state is a failure, and democracy is a mere illusion to give the masses the belief that they actually can control the things that matter.
Not that I completely support him, but I was honored to have seen Ralph Nader a couple years ago as he toured the country speaking. He is still going strong.
I find it very interesting that people in England were saying that the political parties were all the same way back in the late 60s and early 70s. It took a long time for some of us in the United States to draw the same conclusion. Better late than never, I guess.
Only subhuman garbage complains about Ralph Nader. You have the right to complain about him ONLY if he were elected president or senator. NOBODY has ANY right to complain about Socialists or Greens or any political party that is NOT in power, and especially NOT those who support political parties who have power and money handed to them on a silver platter like the Demopublicans.
Ralph Nader should have been President of the USA for life. He should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. He is an American National Hero. He supports animal rights. He fights for freedom and resources for the poor and those with least power. Those who vote for Demopublicans deserve to die and sacrifice for their stupid cause - not those like Nader and us who fight for just causes. I met Nader in person in 2008.
ralph nader is the typacall high school snitch who is turning everybody in behind their backs for not following the rules. guys like him are always so worried that other people might be having fun & are constantly trying to destroy it for everyone. he is a fucking pussy. You better put on your seatbelt, boo hoo hoo. you better not smoke or Im telling, boo hoo" Fuck you, you pussy. If you are so worried, YOU wear a seatbelt, leave me the FUCK alone pussy
I dont think he is sad about butting into my buisness billygoat, i dont think he is. I dont think hes sorry about sabotaging the psat 3 democratic presidentian nominees before Obama either. if it wernt for this dickwad Nadar we never would have had Bush, I know that, Gore would have won easy. Nadar knew he didnt have a chance in hell of winning, but he still runs to take away Gore votes with stupid voters like you I bet. He sure wasnt taking away any Bush votes. The republicans loved this asshol
You are ridiculous. Thinking that switching around D's and R's will make any real kind of change is one of the worst dillusions that people suffer from.
And anyway, Gore WON the popular election. Bush was put in office by the Supreme Court. If anything, it was the fraudulent Diebold machines that swayed the vote the most in the important states. But anyway, in a democracy you cant say he doesn't have the right to run.
maybe Gore didnt blame Nader, but prior to the election just about every democrat with a brain in the country did. If Nader hadnt run there would have been no need for that phony recount, we all know that, because it would have been a landslide in favor of Gore, not even close. But that didnt stop Nader from doing the same thing to Kerry just 4 years later, nosir. Is that pencil necked geek being paid directly by the republicans maybe? Fuck him
Nader thinks hes the fucking police the way he carries on, he a born snicth, its in his very DNA. Maybe you like what hes saying here, but this is the kind of bitch who used to rat out every person in his class just to win a couple brownie points from the male teachers he had crushes on. The dude is a freeking turd, he blows. Hes a fucking BORE
& dont be fooled by Lennon here either. Lennon didnt care one little bit about politics or regestering to vote, & he later admitted it. The onlyiest reason he was trying to encourage his fans to register was because he wanted their support with the polititians because Nixon was trying to have him deported, thats all that was. He didnt give a fuck about this horsecrap tho, & as soon as he got his greencard he admit he didnt give a fuck
And if the 200,000 Florida Democrats who voted for Bush had not voted, Gore would have won that state in a landslide!
And if the Democrats had acted like REAL progressives, Nader wouldn't NEED to run! The Democrats act exactly the way the Republicans act. They are the same party.
You blame Nader for giving us Bush. I blame the Democrats for BEING Bush!
I am blaming him for being a bore. I dont dislike him for CONSTANTLY trying to sabotage the democrat ticket, even though he himself knows he doesnt STAND A CHANCE of winning. I dislike him because I find him to be a pretentious bore who only wants attention as a snitch, thats what he reminds me of. But really, if he knows he doesnt have a chance of winning, why does he do it? He sure isnt taking away votes from the conservative side, is he? wher do his votes come from?
But the point is- he knows he doesnt stand a chance- its all about self promotion, thats ALL! & you support him- good for you, goody for you. You must be proud of being a stooge, you sure act like it
& he didnt only do it when Gore ran- he did it when Kerry ran also, he does it every time there is an election! Where does the money come from? I tell you what, much of it has been traced back to ultra conservatives who understand he doesnt stand a chance of winning just as well as he does
& you go calling out "if the democrats were REAL progressives"!! What do you call a guy who accepts money from the religious right??? Is that progressive? Is that your notion of a progressive??
Republican contributions to the 2004 Nader campaign totaled about $23,000. This is out of over $4 million used in the campaign.
These donations were, furthermore, from individual rich Republicans, not from the party itself. The Republican party actually tried to block Nader from ballot status.
The Democrats accept most of their campaign money from big businesses that want to pollute us all to death.
Nader would stand a chance if the Democrats would stop slandering him!
It is NOT about ego! If it was about ego, he wouldn't run. He would just remind everyone of his legacy of consumer advocacy. His running is a risky move, for he threatens to alienate people who still feel loyal to the Democrats.
He runs because it is the right thing to do, not because of ego.
Besides, what difference does it make if the Democrats or the Republicans win?
They're the same party. They do the same things.
They both have a history of ignoring global warming, starting meaningless wars, using the death penalty, bombing civilians, signing trade agreements like NAFTA, and putting the interests of big businesses over those of the people.
Nader deserved to be president more than anyone with all he's done for the American consumer. And Gore... he's just a hypocrite who capitalized from the fallacious global warming hysteria he helped to manufacture.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
asshole, the point is that Nadar KNEW he didnt have a snowballs chance in HELL of winning, but he ran anyway to take any chance Gore had away, just so he could get some spotlight for a month. he claims he is liberall, but he might as well be working for BUSH! He might as well call himself JUDAS. Might as well call himself that, everybody ELSE does
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
& that aint the only time he did it either, he did it 3 times. He might as well been paid directly by the republican party, by Dick Cheney himself. Dick Cheney though this asshole Nadar was the best friend he ever had too. Nadar is nothing but a little bore, a teachers pet-type snitching on anybody he sees having any fun in life, a pencil necked geek!
The reason Gore didn't win is because Gore was a bad candidate. He was the frontrunner and had the stage set for him. All he had to do was not look like a pretentious asshole. But he couldn't do that. Because he is one. And him and Kerry both came off as bigger war hawks than Bush. They were both bad candidates.
Look at Obama. He won by being a good candidate. He actually talked a good game and blew out McCain. It might have all been lies, but he said the right things.
asshole, Gore DID win. The only reason he wasnt president is because the Bush stole the elescion in the court. where you been, disneyland with sara palin maybe?
No he didn't win dummy. The popular vote does not equal a victory. It is the delegates that count. Gore should have blown Bush out of the water to the point where it wouldn't have mattered how many minority votes were thrown out. But he blew it by acting like a pretentious douche and pissing off the idiots who make up 90% of the voting population.
seems like he only bothered douches like you. I guess you were "pissed off" at him so you gave your vote to Bush maybe. Or probably threw it away completely on this here pencil necked geek nader, who rush limbo himself was advising democrats to vote for. Maybe you did it again when Kerry ran too, might as well
@BibleOfBoxing You guys are STILL bitter over that? Look that kind of shit happens in politics on the Left and Right. Theres strong evidence that points to Kennedy stealing the election from Nixon. It happens
@williwo whos bitter? the guys a holier than thou jackass who tries to grab attention any way, any how, never caring one bit if it helps Bush win, he would help That bitch from alaska get elected if he thought he might get 2 minutes of air time, thats ralf gaydar. a fukkin snitch teachers pet type too, thats all he is
@nastyfukker Bush is in the past. Obama and his mistakes are now. You guys are the ones who are Holier than Thou. Always blaming Bush for every little thing, instead of realizing that both Parties share blame. You probly Blame Bush every time you get constipated. Get over it. He did things that were good, he did things that were not good. Stop making him into some kind of Hitler. Get off your Self-righteous throne
@nastyfukker Leave Lennon alone? I've contributed to his Enterprise by buying almost every Goddamn Beatles Album there is, and more. Dont fuckin tell me to leave him alone. I didnt say shit about Lennon. You cant Trademark the man Dipshit. You're the one on here talking about the Acid shit and Epstein being gay, and using that to insult somebody. YOU leave him alone you goddamn Troll
@williwo goody for you, you are all in love with him, he must feel just great about a bush ' fan' loving him, he would probly even let you give him oral, if he could pry you off bush maybe. nighty night dikwadd, go say hi to all the black teaparty candidates that you so proud about, righty-o. maybe there is a black teaparty membrain, but i dont think they would ever elect him the president of the united states. OK Bush "fan" Bush fan- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@nastyfukker I mean, the tea party here wants us to believe they dont hate Obama cause hes black! BWAHAHA. Dude, I am white, I know how white conservatives thing, bet your ass I do> They tell evrybody within earshot they hate him cause of his politics, not his race. As soon as they are alone with each other, its nigger this & nigger that. When he ran, he was the Muslim, Osama, even a monkey they call him> never mind that he is totally nice, that dont mean a thing to them,
@nastyfukker So why do Black Tea Partiers hate Obama then? They must be Racists too eh? LMAO. Get Real. You cant keep using the Race Card for all eternity, especially since Black Conservatism is on the rise. You're going to have to accept the Fact that most Tea Partiers arent Racist......Even though you lie and try to paint them as such. YOU are the ones who keep Racism alive more than anybody. You USE Racism to advance your Agenda. What a Disgrace.
@nastyfukker No, apparently you dont know anything about conservatism. Racism is a whole seperate entity which Conservatives AND Liberals have been guilty of. Oh you bet your ass there have been Racist liberals. Robert Byrd and Margaret Sanger are ones who come to mind. Also dont give me the "Nigger" crap. Ghetto blacks call each other Nigga, which is merely a variation of the word. So Yes you are a Hypocrite. How the Hell am I a Hypocrite?? I'd like you to point that out.
@nastyfukker Correction: YOU would never elect him President of the United States. And I would LOVE to see certain Black Candidates run......oh but wait, I'm a Racist because I agree with the tea Party on Certain things....never mind. As for John, I dont really think hes into Politics anymore. He knows the truth about everything now...things none of us know. I'm sure Bush-bashing isnt a top priority of his
@williwo Oh, You dont think he was political, goody. Who gives a shit WHAT you think dittohead. To hear you tell it he was probably a flagwaving ditto-head who never did a bad thing in his poor life cept go to disneyland with sara palin, bitch
@nastyfukker Who the Hell are you talking about? John Lennon? Yeah he was political in his Life time, but hes dead now. He has no need for such things. Why the Hell would he care now?? He probly knows every thing now. Also we have no idea what he would be like now if he were still alive. A Lot can happen in 30 years. Some Conservatives have become Liberal....som Liberals have become Conservative. Some just Quit caring
@williwo whatever, I ain even gonna bother with that shit, all I know is that it figgures a conservative republican would be so fascinated with this here dickwadd Nar. I sure am glad the left has him figgured. I dont think the right can figgure out anything, thats all, thats why they like him too. good for them
@nastyfukker Correction: I'm not a Republican but a registered Independant. I'm also a Moderate that is Conservative in some things. But not a Full-blown Conservative
@williwo fukkin bush! give me a fukkin break. I mean, what the fukk is a bush-nut even watchin lennon for in the first place then? for real, go back to arizonea then, where they like you i guess. go tell it to dick cheney, he agrees with you. nobody else does. go polish sara palnis toilet bowel for her mebbe, if you can pry your buddy rush away from it for a second, thats a good jobb for you alzoe. I got an even better jobb for you, right here in my pants I do
@nastyfukker I mean, the only mistake Obammas made is hes too dam conservative i bet. his problem is he actually worries about you jerks feelings, as if you even have any. fuck that. and fuck you too, harder
@nastyfukker I mean, these fukkin tee-party assholes, boo hoo. I mean, they had 50 white anglo presidents in a row, ever since the 1700s even. Soon as they gots one Black man, they are all threatened. 'boo hoo, give us our precious america back from the big bad negroes, boo hoo" BWHAHAHAHA!!! Eat me Pussie!! You embarras me that I am white, i swears to poor little jeeezus you do
@nastyfukker Hey ASSWIPE. How come there has been BLACK TEA PARTY candidates. How come theres A BLACK MAN who is planning on running for the Republican Nomination. How Come Bush appointed two BLACK people at Top positions. You Fuckin Hypocrite, you Disgust me. YOU are the ones who make FALSE allegations of Racism and always try to pull the Race Card. You play dirty and always bring out the Race issue. Fuck you for that. Fuck you a thousand times.
@nastyfukker Fuck you You Left-Wing Socialist hack! First of all I am not a "Bush Nut". I'm not a fan of Bush. I was simply making a Valid point. Secondly, I have every right to watch Lennon if I want to. The Beatles made music for ALL people. Conservatives, Liberals, Moderates, EVERYONE. Lennon is a person....you have no right to Trademark him. Apparently you missed the part where I said BOTH parties are to blame. So kiss my ass or Suck my nuts. Take your pick. Or feel free to do both
@nastyfukker Why dont you go clean Van Jones' toilet ya Prick. Or you can go get sucked off by Barney Frank. I hear hes in to that kind of thing. I'm merely speaking the Truth. I'm not hear defending every thing Bush did. I disagreed with a lot he did...but You Motherfuckers are the ones who started all the Hitler comparison shit. One of Bush's mistakes is that he never fought back against you Heart-less Hypocrites. Obama has us in more debt than any Pres. including Bush. Fuck off
I agree with you about Gore, Chris. Where we part company is Obama. It wasn't that Obama was a good candidate it was that McCain was a terrible candidate. McCain's age brought up the possibility of his dying in office. The thought of Sarah Palin becoming President overnight scared the voters ( as well it should have ). McCain also carried the baggage of the Bush administration ( Iraq, the failing economy ) They labelled him Mc-Same because he did not admit to Bush's failure as a President.
In other words, Bush - and McCain by extension - represented the status quo.
The status quo included
Bush's increasingly expensive ( in dollars and lives ) war on terror, people losing their homes through a mortgage meltdown, long established American companies going under, the general ineptness of the government in handling a natural disaster
( Hurricane Katrina). Millions of dollars and thousands of lives could have been saved if the government had the foresight to build up the levies.
Yea. You're right. McCain was killed by his connection with Bush. I don't think he trully supported Bush's policies the way they were carried out, but he had to keep the Republican party support to have any chance. Thats why he had to have Palin, when he really wanted Leiberman.
My point was that Obama campaigned as anti war and anti-neocon imperialist, when in truth he has done nothing but expand the war and keep up or strengthen the Bush terror policies.
Voting for the sake of derailing another political party is hardly intelligent, but more maniacal than anything else. Good times...Nadar, I commend you for trying over and over again to get into the white house. I wish it was you...
@AmbulanceProductions There is a need for someone to be President that understands the basic rule of not walking into someone's home and telling them how to live. I don't see a leader like that anytime soon for the U.S.
Democracy is rule by the majority; anarchy is self-government. Democracy becomes mobocracy when the majority becomes complacent and apathetic and allows rule by mob, usually the elite who are self-serving and have no intention of serving the people or their needs, much like what we have today and which is now crashing because it's very nature is self-destruction - the same as our debt-based economy that is not based on real wealth, but on greed of the most wealthy among us.
Democracy is rule by the majority espically in the US, but uncontrolled anarchy with simply self goverment will lead to chaos, a goverment controlled soley and truly by and for people with the people litteraly dictating goverment is the right way.
Agreed, but I understand my dual citizenship of ideas. I was a buff at democracy until I could see how the elite stole it for their own cause and the working people consented through apathy, ignorance and mind control. So, who's going to mobilize the people to do what's needed to get us on track?
I think it can't be one person or a few people, it has to be the masses, because leadership is what made the russian revolution and virtually all the communist revolutions of the last century fail, so one person should stand up and question things, but he should not rise above the masses.
You've come full circle now because what you advocate here is anarchy. I do NOT equate anarchy with chaos because if you think about it, there is even a natural order where governments do NOT exist, like Ireland several hundreds of years ago.
We had the perfect kind of politician running for president in the last two elections. His name? Dennis Kucinich. I had voted for Nader in the past though. I dream, one day the people of the United States will wake up and vote for a man of the people. Obama wasn't my first choice but he was better than the other likely candidates.
You and I come from the same political camp of thinking and choices. I too favored Kucinich over all because he was my best political match, and once he dropped from the race I decided I must go with the most likely candidate who would derail the GOP. And experience in my book became the least important qualification because it's the experience of the crooks that has screwed up our country.

Ralph Nader is a extremist . He's just as bad as the people on the right. He's wrong about many things here.
TELEVISIONARCHIVES 1 year ago
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES What exactly does he say here that is extreme? He is talking about maximizing the democratic process here. this is good for both sides. Please explain...
anndeesavage 1 year ago
@anndeesavage Do you believing banning the automobile is extreme? Ralph Nader wanted to do that.
TELEVISIONARCHIVES 1 year ago
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES That is incorrect. In 'Unsafe at Any Speed' Nader was advocating safety reforms in the auto industry now required by the government. Many of these reforms came as a direct result of this landmark publication; he is also responsible for the PIRGs, which have been instrumental in fighting corporate irresponsibility. Ralph Nader is a political visionary, whether you agree with him or not.
anndeesavage 1 year ago
@anndeesavage No. He was also anti-american . He went after american auto makers but didn't attack foreign cars that had the same design or "problems" that he listed.. One was swing axle.
TELEVISIONARCHIVES 1 year ago
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES While your 'no' isn't very specific, I'll respond to the rest of your comment... The reason he went after American automakers in 'Unsafe at Any Speed' was because Ford (I think it was the Pinto if I'm not mistaken) was KILLING people. At the time that book was published, American market share in this country was over 60%. Add that to what was happening with Ford and it only made sense to go after our companies. It isn't anti-American to try to make our cars safer.

@doyler35 And yet foreign cars had the same "faults" but he didn't go after them. And why won't Nader release his tax records? He was the candidate not to do so. He's hiding something.

@TELEVISIONARCHIVES He may be hiding something about his taxes--I don't know. But I don't want him to be the President, I never said that. As far as what you keep saying about foreign cars, I already explained why he didn't go after them. This isn't about whether he is evading his taxes; it's about whether he has important things to say about government. He does. We (and you) should listen.
anndeesavage 1 year ago
@anndeesavage I never said that. Many believe that he in fact profits from things he says he hates. His tax records would show that.
TELEVISIONARCHIVES 1 year ago
@TELEVISIONARCHIVES I hope that's not true, but like I said I don't know. If it is true he'd be finished. However, I don't think the fact that he won't release his tax records automatically makes him a hypocrite. It would certainly be better if he did though.

Only subhuman garbage complains about Ralph Nader. You have the right to complain about him ONLY if he were elected president or senator.

Ralph Nader should have been President of the USA for life. He should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. He is an American National Hero. He supports animal rights. He fights for freedom and resources for the poor and those with least power. Those who vote for Demopublicans deserve to die and sacrifice for their stupid cause - not those like Nader and us who fight for just causes. I met Nader in person in 2008.

Republican contributions to the 2004 Nader campaign totaled about $23,000. This is out of over $4 million used in the campaign.
These donations were, furthermore, from individual rich Republicans, not from the party itself. The Republican party actually tried to block Nader from ballot status.
The Democrats accept most of their campaign money from big businesses that want to pollute us all to death.
Nader accepts money from none of these.
Nader is the real progressive.

Nader would stand a chance if the Democrats would stop slandering him!
It is NOT about ego! If it was about ego, he wouldn't run. He would just remind everyone of his legacy of consumer advocacy. His running is a risky move, for he threatens to alienate people who still feel loyal to the Democrats.
He runs because it is the right thing to do, not because of ego.
seltian 2 years ago
As far as where his votes come from: 40% of Nader voters would have voted for Gore, 25% would have voted for Bush, and 35% would not have voted.
So if Nader chose not to run, a net 15% of his voters would have gone for Bush. Not exactly a sabotage operation.

The reason Gore didn't win is because Gore was a bad candidate. He was the frontrunner and had the stage set for him. All he had to do was not look like a pretentious asshole. But he couldn't do that. Because he is one. And him and Kerry both came off as bigger war hawks than Bush. They were both bad candidates.
Look at Obama. He won by being a good candidate. He actually talked a good game and blew out McCain. It might have all been lies, but he said the right things.

I agree with you about Gore, Chris. Where we part company is Obama. It wasn't that Obama was a good candidate it was that McCain was a terrible candidate. McCain's age brought up the possibility of his dying in office. The thought of Sarah Palin becoming President overnight scared the voters ( as well it should have ). McCain also carried the baggage of the Bush administration ( Iraq, the failing economy ) They labelled him Mc-Same because he did not admit to Bush's failure as a President.
oneeightywest 2 years ago 7
In other words, Bush - and McCain by extension - represented the status quo.
The status quo included
Bush's increasingly expensive ( in dollars and lives ) war on terror, people losing their homes through a mortgage meltdown, long established American companies going under, the general ineptness of the government in handling a natural disaster
( Hurricane Katrina). Millions of dollars and thousands of lives could have been saved if the government had the foresight to build up the levies.
oneeightywest 2 years ago
Yea. You're right. McCain was killed by his connection with Bush. I don't think he trully supported Bush's policies the way they were carried out, but he had to keep the Republican party support to have any chance. Thats why he had to have Palin, when he really wanted Leiberman.
My point was that Obama campaigned as anti war and anti-neocon imperialist, when in truth he has done nothing but expand the war and keep up or strengthen the Bush terror policies.

Democracy is rule by the majority; anarchy is self-government. Democracy becomes mobocracy when the majority becomes complacent and apathetic and allows rule by mob, usually the elite who are self-serving and have no intention of serving the people or their needs, much like what we have today and which is now crashing because it's very nature is self-destruction - the same as our debt-based economy that is not based on real wealth, but on greed of the most wealthy among us.

Agreed, but I understand my dual citizenship of ideas. I was a buff at democracy until I could see how the elite stole it for their own cause and the working people consented through apathy, ignorance and mind control. So, who's going to mobilize the people to do what's needed to get us on track?

I think it can't be one person or a few people, it has to be the masses, because leadership is what made the russian revolution and virtually all the communist revolutions of the last century fail, so one person should stand up and question things, but he should not rise above the masses.

You and I come from the same political camp of thinking and choices. I too favored Kucinich over all because he was my best political match, and once he dropped from the race I decided I must go with the most likely candidate who would derail the GOP.
