ralph nader says to obama "explain why!"

[BlueDevilBlues]

Four years later and we are still waiting for answers to these questions, Mr. President!

[2020starman]

Ron Paul's freedom watchers,I suggest you watch the Obama Deception, via You Tube Tag you're it!!

[igspal]

LISTEN, not only to THIS video, BUT TO EVERYTHING THIS MAN HAS EVER SAID, &  W H E N HE'S SAID EACH STATEMENT...ie., he called Obama out YEARS AGO on EVERYTHING we NOW (2011) KNOW that's been F*CKED-UP ON by Obama!!! And, don't JUST watch his videos, LOOK INTO NADER'S RECORD YOURSELVES!!! The ONLY reason he's barely ever been acknowledged is due to this: badfaithinsurance[d0t]org[slas­h]reference[slash]General[slas­h]1564a[d0t]htm

[cloudbuster77]

we have two choices, perpetual recession and defecits w/obama or depression with the repubs. we have no liberal party for the ppl in america. the dems and repubs are suck ups to corps

[razz187]

Ralph Nader, Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich should be the only presidential candidates in 2012

[trakkaton]

USans are too dumb to elect a hero that saved their lives, they rather elect war criminals that send them to death.

[Forlo12345]

Even if Ron Paul and Nader may disagree with each other on a few key issues, a debate between the two of them would be a fair, unbiased, philosophical discussion. No campaign smear job. No half truths or fake promises. Just pure philosophical and intellectual discussion. Just the way our Founding Fathers intended: a nation of laws and philosophy, NOT two-party politics.

[2020starman]

@Forlo12345 Ron Paul's freedom watchers,I suggest you watch the Obama Deception, via You Tube Tag you're it!!

[theabomation]

nadaer would make an great president better than both Obama and Bush.

[benympls]

Even Though Ron Paul have different thoughts on many things, they both want to end The Fed. We(the 3rd party movement) must not get to bog down by social issues & stay focused on the MAJOR issues... Ending The Fed, Reining in Defense Contractors Ripping us Off, a Balance Budget. Although Naders & Pauls social spending would be different NEITHER of them would be like the Dems or the Repubs. Lets stay focused on the MAJOR issues and get these special interest whores out of OUR government!!!

[blueridger28]

Nader and Pual Strait stalk

[TheMoravians]

Nader should challenge Obomba in the Democrat primary next time. If he loses that, then run independent.

I'm also hoping that Ron Paul or Gary Johnson will run in the GOP primary, for the same reason. We must put aside secondary disagreements and get rid of the Federal Reserve, endless wars of occupation, corporatism/bailouts, and international government/WTO.

[hamace]

Agreed, we need to carry the Ron Pauls and Naders to the front of the line.

[benympls]

@hamace That would be what the true left & true right look like, that would be an interesting debate! Sure they'd(Ron Paul vs. Nader) have disagreements but at least they'd be based on facts & what they actually feel strongly about, NOT what their special interest feel strongly about. Sadly though most americans would be bored by the debate because it wouldn't be full of cheesy emotional pleas & be based on facts & what we should put our focus on. It'd be a GREAT debate!!!

[hamace]

@benympls that's exactly right. Ya know how John Edwards used to drone on and on about the US being divided into 2 nations? He was wrong, the US was best when it was 50 States, all bringing their differences together.

We know that sooner or later, when the states lost sight of God, it would make it easier for Satan to centralize power.

It is best when people can disagree.

[winner502]

god be with you ralph i voted for you everytime.

we are in trouble but you did your job

god knows my prayers to you and yours

[salhu]

im with Ralph nader now that im 18 i hope he runs again this way he has my vote and many other young ppl GO NADER

[CrushJehovah]

yea we all need to rise up and wake other fellow youngsters up. They all seem not give two shits though.... and if they do its only for whoever celebrity politician the tv shoves down their throats in the never ending democrat vs republican soap opera that so many naive people continue to buy.

[rosiechanel]

Obama is a puppet directly manufactured by corporate elitists, and we were stupid enough to elect him. Nader has a life long track record to prove that he's a genuine progressive.

[bobbyg640]

if you dont think obama is liberal enough, than you will never be happy.

[HughieGphiladelphia]

He is not liberal enough, he is a centrist. You posted this comment three months ago. Three months have passed... more troops are going to war, Single payer is off the table, Bush is not in jail, EFCA did not pass...... ?

Come on now, be honest with your self. Obama is a smart man - But not a real liberal.

Kucinch, Nader, Gravel..... thats who I want.

[haskellbob]

Ralph, go fuck yourself. You have no validity since you put George Bush in the White House. You betrayed us, and if you can't express regret for your mistake, I refuse to listen to anything you have to say; because I find you contemptible and tragically flawed. All the time you were being a consumers' crusader you were nursing a messiah complex that would send the U.S. into 8 of its worst years ever, as your blind ambition preferred its inflated version of your "great quest" to reality.

[HughieGphiladelphia]

I fell for teh corporate bull shit. THE STUPID PEOPLE of thsi country VOTED bush in. THE STUPID PEOPLE put us into the worst 8 years.

You need to stop all this garbage about Nader being a 'spoiler", thats what the 2 party REPUBLICRATS want.

Its time for you and the rest of the country to take responsiblity for your failed actions.

[bazucomen79]

Nader has a spot light!!!

[tatsandteles]

How dare you speak out against the chosen one!! You go Ralph!

[Rossthatguyfromthere]

Don't Be A Hater Vote NADER!!!

[matt12441244]

u gotta respect a man who tells it like it is and is rarely vague

[HappyGestapo]

Hell yeah!

[okturus]

Nader is more of a brotha than Obama on his best day.

[stephenhammy]

fuck yea he is

[theabomation]

@okturus sadly i agree with you

[GretnaBlast]

Why do people even bother acting like they respect him saying, "he's a good guy," and proceed to trash him? Typical spineless democrat strategy. Anyway, the only thorn in American democracy is the two party duopoly, and I think the american people would agree, but they don't overwhelmingly support Nader because most of them don't even know that he's running, and that's not Ralph's fault.

[fattymarley]

TRUTH!

[dewaynehart]

Now this is why they wont let Ralph Nader Debate cause he puts them on the spot HAHA

[donotfret]

precisely...they don't want to look like complete asses so they keep third party away. Fucking assholes

[yorkpa29]

true that nader,i hear u.....we need some big change..things r getting kinda weired.

[darrellmellissa]

He cant explain because he is all hot air.

[laserlight9]

Don't be duped by the duopoly! Obama and McCain are both pro-war, anti-civil rights and in the palms of the corporations. End War. End Corporate control. Power to the people through the Nader/Gonzalez campaign!

[notjam2]

INFOWARS

support the bill of rights / freedom stop the police state, stop tyranny

stop government sponsored terror/false flag

get informed at INFOWARS

[rh1n0sir]

Youre right, we do only get one president. Unfortunately, neither major candidate represents more than the corporate interests that fund their campaigns. Obama isnt progressive, he only holds on to the liberal positions that wont cost him corporate bucks or corporate power. He already dropped single-payer health care, a 2-state Israel and publicly funded elections AND he says he says he wants to INCREASE the already over-sized military budget. what's next, will he change his mind about Iraq?

[loopyloupe]

You're a good man too sir.

I love Kucinich, I wish he would urge his supporters to vote for Nader but I understand that he's not in a position to do it(sigh)

perhaps u already know,but just in case:

GINNY HUNT

ERIC SCHMIT

GOOGLE, INC

1600 AMPHITHEATRE PARKWAY

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94043

LET RALPH NADER DEBATE!!!

Please write two letters, one for Ginny, one for Eric and MAIL them to the address listed above. Let's help Nader appear on the debate scheduled for September.

[paul8kangas]

The way to create jobs is to lower the work week to a 30 hour week at 40 hours pay , for all Federal employees. That would create 10 million jobs in one month.

With the stroke of a pen the President could create a 30 hour work week for all Federal employees. This would create 10 million new jobs. If the Fed gov set the example, then the state governments would follow suit. Hi tech companies like Microsoft & Toyota would follow suit. In one year we could turn the whole economy around.

[badger5079]

The U.S. would then have reduced the productivity of it's workforce by 25% at a stroke. Most corporations would then outsource or go bust and you would be landed into a depression.

[forrest2city]

government need to take a look at payday loans they are a rip off to poor people.Another attention should b given to the rental furniture buisness

[verklimpt]

Nader at 60+ or 70? has more guts than all the media bozos combined!

[loopyloupe]

ha....has any1 heard about how da Obama camp turned this into a racial issue? Apparently Nader is a racist bc he accused Obama of "White Talk"--it's pathetic.

Go Nader, tell Obama to get real, tell him to stand up for the poor and marginalized in the ghettos who get ripped off by Payday loans and denied a proper education, Y isn't the champion of Change addressing those fundamental issues? Well, he's not even addressing issues that matter to the average american, so Y am I not surprised?

[NaderRaider]

Obama is an empty suit that gives pretty speeches and uses the buzzwords of Change and Hope but in all honesty supports neither.

Not only does he not stand up for financial usury of the urban poverty level people, he also didn't stand up for the middle class by

voting against credit card interest rate caps (Hillary voted for the Credit Card interest caps).

OBAMA has proven that he is an enemy of the lower and middle class. He does not deserve the vote of the lower and middle class.

[loopyloupe]

well said!

[MrXfromPlanetX]

Barack Obama will get hundreds of thousands of people killed if he gets elected. We've got to do something. We need to make flyers and hand them out.

[loopyloupe]

way ahead of u...I gather signatures on behalf u know, to put him on the ballot here in Cali.

It's sad when I talk to those pple who say they'll vote 4 BO and when I starte telling them just a little of what I know about him they're like "really, I didn't know he did that". I usually hand out pamphlets bc u can't talk to people for too long. but I encourage u to do that, talk to people, challenge them (without being abusive).we have to take America back!! Go RALPH, GIVE 'EM HELL!

[striker1224]

Yes, indeed very well said!

[cheesymaster5]

I completely agree.

[msalex1987]

It is about time BO answers the hard questions.  It's just sad that Nader has to ask them because no reporters will!!! Why not?

[nowellian]

The US seems to becoming a 3rd world country and voting for the lesser of two evils is causing it.

Democrats and republicans are working together and the both serve corporate America.

Vote Nader/Gonzalez!

[nadermatrixs]

This is supposed to be a democracy, you must DEMAND IMPEACHMENT: Please call your congressional

representatives today - Demand

impeachment hearings for Bush and Cheney - Capitol Hill Switchboard:

(202) 224-2131 , (800) 828-0498

(Repost this message so the numbers stay on top of the

comments list!) And check out the wikipedia page "Movement

to Impeach Bush."

[breen234]

hey, even if china and france are doing better than us, at least we're still pretty free. idk about france, but if we lived in china and were bashing its policies, i could see us all end up in prison. i mean, stalin didn't have many qualms about mass improsonment/excecution. at least the french have fairly strong democratic roots, unlike china.

[vrs007]

Obama has only one answer to all questions:"blah blah blah CHANGE blah blah blah HOPE....blah blah blah...YES WE CAN!!!...Thank you".

Crowd goes berserk...Tim russert and the msnbc teams...cnn teams call it one of the best cumulative answers ever in a presidential debate...

God save America!!!

[nowellian]

Only Nader/Gonzalez are calling for impeachment of Bush and an end to war and return of all troops as soon as possible!

Only Nader/Gonzalez are calling for single payer universal health care!

Only Nader/Gonzalez are talking about many issues that are important to me!

Only Nader/Gonzalez will get my vote!

Peace.

[kdawg860]

Only Ron Paul wants to bring our troops home and continues to vote against financing the wars.

Only Ron Paul understands that it's the 1973 HMO Act that forces consumers to stick with HMO insurance that's been driving the cost of healthcare up and its quality down. Only Ron Paul wants to repeal the act and bring American healthcare back to the high quality and reasonable cost it once had.

Only Ron Paul understands the harm the Federal Reserve does and wants to abolish it.

Check out Dr Paul.

[nowellian]

Unregulated Free Market = Feudalism!

[kdawg860]

feudalism is closer to what we have today, which is an overregulated, corporate-subsidized economy, NOT a true free market. it benefits the wealthy politically connected corporations while hurting everyone else. we need true free markets, not the regulations that we have today. regulations always hurt the economy.

[nowellian]

kdawg860 I agree feudalism is close to what we have today. We have a central government redistributing wealth from workers to Lords(corporations). The ruling class has control of the government and the means of production.

We need national health care and nationalizing the oil companies would be a good idea too. They are bleeding our society, they are parasites taking for them selves and leaving nothing but death and destruction in their wake. They need more regulation.

[kdawg860]

so socialism is the answer? we need to take a hard look at what socialist countries like china, vietnam, north korea, et al have done and where they've succeeded and failed. when they nationalized their industries, everyone got poorer, quality went down, costs went up, innovation stagnated. when they privatized their industries the opposite happened. we need to completely get rid of gov involvement in our economy so that we can have low cost and high quality services including healthcare.

[breen234]

right on! and what i don't understand is that this country became an economic superpower under a free market system; what more proof do you need for the benefits of a free market system? in the end, when the govt gets involved with your life, it just messes things up

[nowellian]

I have no idea where you got those ideas. In China people were literally starving by the hundreds of thousands before the communist took over, now no one is starving in China and their economy is out doing ours big time.

France has nationalized banks, health care, and other industries. They have a highly unionized workforce and the working class maintain a much higher standard of living than in the US. France's economy is also growing faster than in the US.

[kdawg860]

the chinese were starving until mao's communists took over? mao caused the biggest famines in chinese history. we have communism in china now? they have opened up to free markets in large sectors of their economy since 1990 and it's allowed their country to prosper. please read some chinese history.

if france's economy is growing faster than the u.s. it's because the u.s.'s federal reserve has caused the largest economic boom and bust since the 1920's and 30's.

[nowellian]

I didn't know Ron Paul is for single payer universal health care, or increasing taxes on corporations and wealth.

Nader wants to redistribute wealth from rich back to those who make it the workers through taxes and social programs. I did not know Ron Paul was left wing!

[megamarsvin]

That sounds like the opposite of what Ron Paul wants. He's against Government run healthcare or anything else. He's for 100% free trade and as few taxes as possible.

That's why I don't like him, he's not like Bush in most things but he is a free market evangelist. "The free market will solve all problems" my butt.

[Champ1on]

On economics, Ron Paul is right; Nader is wrong.

The free market is not perfect, but big governmnet is even worse.

Where would Nader get the money to finance his pro-spending, pro-regulation policies? US debt is 13 trillion!

Ron Paul would bring back prosperity economically, because he understands monetary policy, especially ending the federal reserve (which is neither federal, nor does it have any reserves).

Nader, who is a hero of mine, just doesnt get these economic issues.

[megamarsvin]

I don't know. I agree the US doesn't exactly have spending money to throw away on such issues but I think, if it is serious about bringing the prosperity of its general population up and not just the top percentile, Americans will have to get used to paying the kind of taxes that most western socialist-democratic states have. I really don't see a pure-capitalist solution to the problems of healthcare and so on. Then again, if there's no money, that's pretty much the end of that story ;)

[Champ1on]

yeah... and im sure that we can agree that either solution (Paul's free market or Nader's democratic socialism), are surely preferable to the current system of govt supported corporatism.

[megamarsvin]

I'd be hard pressed to think of something that'd be worse than what we have now.. All the spending and none of the benefits. ;)

[kdawg860]

democratic socialism meaning regulations that inhibit competition and benefits those companies that are connected to the government? this only leads to more taxes and bigger budgets and more corporate welfare. only free markets can bring prosperity, peace, and economic stability.

[ctspectator]

Paul/Nader !! Nader/Paul......

[Justcurious51]

They are opposites you retard!

[ctspectator]

hah...Nader has commented that he likes Paul's foreign policy. I would prefer a Paul/Nader ticket (if those 2) but if Paul is on the ticket im voting it. I personally want Paul and Lew Rockwell or Chuck Baldwin. I know Nader may have socialist tendencies domestically but we need to start with fixing foreign policy.. Is that so retarded?

[dakarDITC]

Nader may be on the same page with Paul on Iraq, but Paul is more of an isolationist style/old style conservative in this regard that sees the war as a boondoggle and waste of funds. but make no mistake, Paul would not want that money saved from not having wars to be distributed amongst social programs.

[nowellian]

The USA is becoming a 3rd world country and you people voting for the lesser of 2 evils are causing it!

Vote Nader/Gonzalez!

[nowellian]

Exactly Obama, if you want my vote you have a lot of explaining to do!

If not, well at least I still have Nader to vote for!

[misterpatrickstar]

Isn't blackwater here already? They had their meeting in Manhattan a few days ago and they provide consultation to NYPD and other firms.

[jlaker79]

Obama and Hilary = Bullshit!

[1tonykirk]

G: "Esoteric Agenda".

A truly great piece with an astounding and positive ending.

Peace.

[Cheaster]

I'm with Nader on this one, how can people be so stupid?

[NaderRaider]

Obama - you, try to portray yourself as a man of the people, yet you voted in favor of many of the same financial, political and ethical atrocities you claim to stand against. Shame on you, Obama for trying to fleece America! You are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Check out his voting record and see for yourselves how disingenious Obama REALLY IS!!!

projects(dot)washingtonpost(do­t)com/congress/members/o000167­/

Vote Nader 2008!!!!!

[srchrt]

its so important to be independent nader makes sense i would pay to see a depate with nader clinton obama mccain i would lay out a pay per view fee in a heartbeat nader is dead on im sick of hearing my friends say how he is the fault vote your concious vote nader

[oz22verizon]

exaclty, and he also said in one of the debates along with clinton that he would not fund any city college that would not allow a recruiting office on the campus, nice huh?!, we're doomed no matter who gets in , they're all the same , thats why im voting for nader, or paul if he stays in also gravel is running as a liberatarian

[historywillabsolve]

go nader!

[dundotta28]

The tiger's out of the cage. Time to get onboard! If you like what he has to say, dont just nod, DONATE TO THE CAMPAIGN! We need money to get this movement rolling.

[masturbate2much]

Nader does has a good point here!

[NorthParkZ]

yeah he does

[ryanshaunkelly]

gravel kucinich paul nader

dare speak truth

demand peace

[blarch2]

sfudman, a pay-per-view debate between Nader and Paul would not make much sense. why would it not be free? why limit viewers to those who can pay to see? just have a FREE debate, include kucinich/gravel, and all could pitch in to make dvds of the debate for dispersal, since the candidates have had to deal with media blackouts (further proof that a blackout is possible is Prince Harry) and for being excluded from some debates...monthly nader/paul/gravel/kucinich debates, on youtube immediately...

[oz22verizon]

yes i think nader mentioned to amy goodman that he hopes her station or pbs will have a debate so they cant block him out

[deepwater1974]

BOOYA Nader! BOOYA! Good work

[kevjo66]

Nailed it. At least Ralp ain't kissing Obama's ass like the liberal media.

[razorback86]

To call him a spoiler, you'd have to make the mistake of thinking that Nader supporters are democrats. Understand that the democrats in no way represent us. So, to call him a spoiler for the dems makes as much sense as calling McCain a spoiler for the dems. You can't just tell us to give our vote over to you. You have to give us some reason to. You have to address real issues and get some balls to pursue them. And, so far, the dems have only tried to oppress our points of view.

[elfil76]

If it's garanteed that Ron Paul will not run for prez I may vote for this man

[bighitter42]

Then you weren't for Ron Paul just the idea of voting against the machine.

[megan4197]

and is that such a bad thing? when the msm is trying to push two carbon copy candidates on us and trying to pass it off as some kind of choice?

[JonasWHouse]

i'd pay that $50 as well

[sfudman]

I would pay $50 for a 2 hour Pay-Per-View debate: Ralph Nader Vs Ron Paul. A real liberal Vs a real conservative.

[Dallouez]

LOL every chance he gets! When he lets Oprah run his show and everyone runs around saying "We are not playing the race card" Are people dumb enough to believe that? I bet you believe Hillary doesn't use the woman card. They had to tell everyone he needs extra security because he is black (although he really isn't all black) and et al.

[Dallouez]

Finally someone with a brain. Hillary are you paying attention. Obama Hussan will now cry "racest".

[Jeff000000000000000]

Write in campaign for Dr. Paul. Be sure to vote for Dr. Paul, The only hope for Americans to retain liberty and sovereignty. Check with your states, find out about write-ins on your states ballot. Ron Paul for the Rescue!

[nzalud2]

Supposedly if the candiate is not registered as a write in candidate, some states will not count your vote. I would check within your state though.

[iTellYouNoLie]

Paul, Nader, Gravel, the 3 musketeers!

[vudumojo]

Nader, oh I get it, you're not for ralph, you're just hoping someone will throw nades at McCain.

Hey that's pretty smart, that way Ron Paul can get it huh?

You rock...

[theantirobot]

If ron paul doesn't get the repub nomination I will be pushing Nader.

[bennygale]

This is exactly why we need Nader in this election!
