Leave Ralph Nader Alone

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrats and Republicans = THEY the CORPORATION$

* The two headed Democrat and Republican monster is not

to be trusted as they've proven over and over!

* No more Pay-Or-Die Healthcare $ystem!

We Want Single-Payer like Canada!

* "Spoiler" is a politically bigoted word used by the opposing parties to keep the independents out of the race.

Is this nobamas mama?

[baldchandler]

holy cow - when did the white trash of america start supporting ralph - maybe we'll win this thing.

[SupremeMajinBuu]

lmao :P

[everything4every1]

Jesus, this has been to death done, ok?

The joke is fucking old and it wasn't that funny to begin with. You're not helping The Greens, you're just manipulating some dated piece of pop culture trivia to try and appear trendy but it's so obvious that's what your doing that it's embarrassing.

[Hugothedog5]

lol

[DKLiberal08]

I really wish that Hillary, Obama and the Democratic"leadership" in congress would at least be half as passionate in their criticism of the people to their Right as they are to the true progressives like Nader to their Left.

[Chizpurfle52595]

The only way this video could be any better is if she actually was Chris Crocker.

What we need is a celebrity endorsement. But not Chris Crocker. Somebody ridiculously wealthy.

[boydabloc]

if Ralph nader really cared about issues he would spend his life working to pass specific legislation or advocate non-stop for what matters to him (see Al Gore) instead his constant presidential campaigns are nothing but vanity exorcises that ends up throwing the election the the worst possible person for his issues

[jmomonique]

If you knew anything about Nader you would know that he has spent his life working "to pass specific legislation" and dedicated his life to the "issues."

competition is healthy, stop blaming nader . Obviously, the system itself is flawed if a candidate wins the popular vote, yet loses the election.

it's your prerogative to vote for whomever you choose, but for yourself more than anyone else, become better informed before regurgitating falsehoods.

[FeliusDemo]

Damn right he has. He's one of the most vocal and progressive individuals of the 20th Century. A remarkable man. The two-party system is petrified he'll tear down their Berlin Wall. That's why they don't let him debate. Because he'd turn the tides. Because he's a citizens man who has done nothing but work to better the human condition.

And his campaigns are not for nothing. He upholds the rules of a free democracy. Anyone for president. The constitution doesn't designate political parties.

[ScarletLetterR]

that was perfect. ROFL

[LliasiAsbi]

HAhah!

I like this. People could use a chuckle.

I'm a big fan of parody, and people who can't appreciate it are just big sourpusses. How do they know what will turn people off? The majority of America watches American Idol and gets a giggle from garbage entertainment on a daily basis. If anything will grab their attention, its a dramatic overdone parody. The intellects already know what Nader is about, this is something a little more appropriate for the masses. Well done.

Go Nader!

Or Gravel!

[representativepress]

LliasiAsbi, how do I know, first of all, I live in the US and have a good sense what turns people off. If your profile is correct, you don't even live in the US. Agitcam is right, this video is not funny.

And PLEASE, it makes no sense to say "or Gravel," this highlights that you don't have a good grasp on political effectiveness. Gravel out of the Democratic primary. It's time to focus on Nader for the general election, "or Gravel" UNDERMINES the Nader campaign, as does this video you like.

[gravel2008]

Ouch.

[LliasiAsbi]

Actually I lived in the U.S probably longer than you've been alive.

I've always supported Gravel.

I intend to vote Gravel, even if he has switched to Libertarian.

I like Nader too so I'll support them both if I wish, despite your ill criticisms.

Have a good one

[representativepress]

Odds are probably not longer than that.

So someone who intends on NOT voting for Nader likes this video, good to know. This election in November can be the one of REAL change and that means not the same Democratic and Republican games. It means looking at the election LOGICALLY, your "or Gravel" comment makes no sense. You don't have a good handle on political strategy or what makes a good political video. I'll try.

[LliasiAsbi]

It makes perfect sense to one who wishes to put Gravel's name out there for others to see. Perhaps someone who supports Nader has never heard of Mike Gravel. Now, with my mentioning of the name, maybe others will look to his platform, as well. Not to mention Gravel and Nader support one another, and many petitioned for them to run together. To judge one as a 'spoiler' would be to succumb to the same lowly shenanigans you speak of. My logic extends to a point beyond the reach of capital letters.

[agitcam]

I think a little comedy is great in a campaign. And whoever did this should get some praise for trying. And they should try again. Just get some feedback from someone. The Marx Brothers tried out their film comedy routines in vaudville theaters.

[chatelet55]

I doubt Nader would approve this. This is the last thing voters want to see in these critical times of war and national decline. Ralph's career and reputation are based on diligence, seriousness, passion, cleverness, to name a few, and this video does not accurately portray these qualities. The man deserves better than this.

[agitcam]

I think this is not a helpful video. The sooner it is taken down the better. A hysterical woman making a hysterical plea will hardly win new converts to the Nader campaign. Comedy is best left to the professionals. This isn't funny.

[GretnaBlast]

saaaaaaaaaaaatiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrre

[representativepress]

GretnaBlast, we understand it is satire, the problem is it doesn't work. The goal is to turn people on to Nader, not to turn them off. This video simple doesn't work to help Nader. It is irritating and it backfires with the whole approach.

[representativepress]

I agree with agitcam. I support Nader and I think this is not helpful at all, in fact I think it is damaging. The subject of the video that this is a take off on, Crocker, is really a sad joke and Chris Crocker makes a fool of himself, people like the original because they think Crocker and Crocker deserve to be object of ridicule. Nader is not a joke. This video simply doesn't work and backfires badly. Please, as agitcam says, "the sooner it is taken down the better"

[representativepress]

I meant to say the subject of the original video was Britney and she was being a made an object of ridicule, She has made herself a joke in the public's eyes and people thought Crocker made a fool of himself. This video hurts the campaign.

[GretnaBlast]

People don't watch the Chris Crocker video because he talks about Britney Spears, they watch it because it's genuinely entertaining.

This actor in the parody isn't even nearly as over the top as Crocker was. It's just a parody on something that literally every internet user has seen, it doesn't matter what Crocker was ranting about, it matters that people can identify with it. Isn't it clear that only Nader fans have even seen this video anyway? Chillllll.

[unfath0mable]

this is just a parody of the "leave britney alone" video... a little comical relief can't hurt

[marniespeaks]

nice, now how about letting the you tube community in on the fun?

[Xenu]

Wow.. perhaps the best parody since the "Leave Karl Marx alone!" video.

[morganmghee]

LMFAO!!!

[HughieGphiladelphia]

Nader, Gravel...real change!

[bookishbeth]

This is so hilarious (but also depressingly true).

[surfingthechaos]

Uh... I think this particular ad campaign might do more harm than good.

[ChannelMikeG]

heh, you might get the chris crocker endorsement

[ijustwantmathias]

Great parody!
