Who Wins? Ralph Nader Explains the Debate

[TheZUNIT]

He's really old now. He should find someone just like him. He's become a bad speaker and has horrible posture. He needs to find a younger and better speaker that has the same exact views and points as him.

[d1sfigure]

watch 911 mysteries and debunk that my friend

oh and the jews (israel) is our military post in the middle east, so don't start with that crap of jews owning the US. The banks and their corperate / gov goons control the US and their religion has nothing to do with their motives or actions.

[mad3noyer]

Now maybe he'll explain why he helped put Bush in the White House.

[yahwehdirtydog]

RALPH NADER is the only one who really did huge things for the ordinary USan. That's why they won't vote for him. USans are such dumbed down mindcripples that they would NEVER vote for someone who courageously fights for their interests. They want a cocaine-snorting, drunken, demented comboy chimp with horse angst. A guy just like them. An idiot that they can relate to, because they themselves are such idiots.

[yahwehdirtydog]

i did not vote the lying zionist Obama for he caters to AIPAC. He voted for FISA, the Global Poverty Act which will give 865 billion american tax payers dollars to the UN for UN millenium agenda which also includes unarming all nations, he support Georgias agression against South Ossetia. Also, look at the zionist warhawk Obama appointed to chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel, whose father was a member of irgun a militant t organization. This is the worst thing that has happened to the US.

[wesia4lia]

ur dumb . if mccain would have gotten in office . the whole entire world would have been screwed... obama is prolly 1 of the best things that ever happened to this country

[yahwehdirtydog]

ur dumb . if mccain would have gotten in office. when did i spport mcinsane. they are controlled the same crew. do google search on rahm immanuel the likudnik warhawk.

[wesia4lia]

dont lie . i know u love mccain

[yahwehdirtydog]

lies, lies lies you jewish bastards know you got your favourite man. rahm will start a war with iran. thats what most jews want. obama and mccain are both in the pocket of the AIPAC lobby.

[wesia4lia]

[pechocha36]

<3 Ralphie!

[fuktyranny]

excellent.

[freeyoumindplease]

YIY

[miketonon]

I have a theory that these elections are just a way to make the citizens THINK they have a voice. The trick is for "THEM" to rob the people as much as they can without upsetting the people enough for the people to go to war with the rich and powerful, in other words, the government as we know it today, for the most part.

[ergotilt]

miketonon, You're on point. Problem is that revolution ie citizens against the state doesn't happen until the majority of the citizens' backs are up against the wall. The US is well on it's way with the upcoming crisis. Say bye-bye to your consumption based economy. Hard times ahead. Nader is by far your best choice but even he is going to face an almost impossible challenge. Obama/McCain will just sit back and support the your Corporate elite, the bankers, nuclear, miltary, media criminals.

[miketonon]

Well you can vote to contribute to the problem or you can vote to contribute to the solution. You seem to understand.

[shidoski]

bloodyhelldevil don't make me knock up your mom

[StratusBlue]

Exactly. Corporate run or people run?

The corporate paymasters that stole trillions of dollars win.

[halliday2010]

lol tell it to them hahaha so true!!

[j97hou6]

Those who don't vote Nader/Gonzalez will help to elect anti-gay Libertarian Bob Barr.

Nader is great, and I voted for him already for 2008 (absentee ballot), but we need a pro-animal rights party that will OUTLAW meat and fur. The vast majority of americans think prison is "easy", so they won't mind being thrown into jail. They LOVE it.

We also need PRO-UFO/ET disclosure. Stop sucking up to religious nuts. Suck up to atheists and ET experiencers.

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican partY = THEY the CORPORATION$

[sutircomed]

Differences between Obama & McCain are HUGE:

--Obama wants to get out of Iraq; McCain wants an open-ended conflict with ill-defined "victory" goal.

--Obama wants healthcare for all working Americans; McCain wants to tax healthcare for the 1st time in our history.

--Obama wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts; McCain wants even bigger cuts for fat cats & corporations.

--Obama will appoint justices like Stevens; McCain like Scalia.

etc.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[cheese389]

The results are the SAME

Obama will have our troops remain in Iraq because of limited power

Both will keep the idea of supporting health insurance companies with out a true solution to the people who cannot afford it

Both will continue to tax the middle class to pay for their government run PLANS

good luck when their ideas change after someone is sworn in....

[WONDAWOMAN]

What they say and what they will do are two different things.. except we can certainly trust that McCain will Bomb bomb Iran.. Obama is talking sweet, but he will indeed do what his corporate backers bid him to do, which is continue spreading the empire, sweeping American Imperialism around the globe with war & exploitation so that corporations will continue to profit. Heads of Corporations & Lobbyist for them would absolutely NOT contribute to a candidate they weren't sure they could control..

[mad3moyer]

If you want to believe Obama will do what he claims he'll do (and things he's not pledging to do), by all means, vote for him. I just ask you look at his presidential record in 4 years. See how many soldiers are dying overseas fighting where they should not be. See how many people are still dying from lack of healthcare. See where the raised taxes and the tax cuts go, and see if the your quality of life goes up or down.

[12345678ppp]

McsameFailin/nobama biteit, same shit different assholes

[miketonon]

12345678ppp, and how do we change this? The individual, that being you and me need to vote for someone other than Obama or Mccain. Nader has almost no chance of winning this election, but if other people see that 10% or even 20% of the voters had voted for Nader in this election, maybe in years to come people will snap out of the idea that you have to vote for one of two people that are many times very much one in the same behind the citizens backs.

[jeerish14]

the guy has got a point here

[TheUnspeakableTruth]

It doesn't take a fucking silver tongue to understand people, Obama alone consumed too much worthless paper to fund his campaign, he's in too deep now so if I were humane enough I'd be concerned for him if he continues to go for this 'Change', in the end you guys will regret not making sure guys like nader or paul or gravel or kucinich to get the office, because the corpratocracy helped made sure of it

[Anselcarr]

Dudes, face it, he'll be lucky if he gets 1000 votes. He's a horrible speaker, and he's the reason that Gore lost in 2000. 8 years of Bush because of this prick.

Obama Biden 08!

[Dutchoven08]

Yay, Osama BinBiden two-thousand-ate!

Biden wrote the law removing the individual's right to write off debt in a catastrophic Bankruptcy, while keeping BK protections for Corporations, Yayy!

(His biggest donor- MBNA credit card giant)

Osama, er, Obama voted to grant immunity from prosecution for his giant Telecom corps that funded the DNC.

Voted to enforce the Patriot Act, too! Yayy!

Another Brainwashed Obama/Biden Supporter, Yayy! Must be 100,000,000 of them by now,

Bailing out Big Banks 2!

[fluidvoid]

Actually, Gore won the popular vote and was voted in by the electoral college.

[fluidvoid]

**and bush was voted in...

[fluidvoid]

WHOA! Don't lump in the Military with the banks and corporations. That's not cool. I'm voting for Nader, but comments like that can only hurt your cause. You don't have to be pro-war to be pro-troops.

[Dutchoven08]

The word from Nader was actually "Militarism"= a problem in our society.

The Host misquoted him and said "Military".

Forgive him.

Vote Nader!

[HoboSoulder]

Are you aware that your Military is currently in the process of being Privatised?. The ratio of private contractors to US Military personel in Iraq is now close to 1:1, used to be 10:1 pre Iraq. When there is no difference between a Corporation and an Army, you're in Deep shit. Also.. to be Pro Soldier is in itself obscene, Soldiers carry out orders, be they moral or immoral, without a single thought, professional armies are armies of Empire, that is not something to be applauded or supported.

[fluidvoid]

Pro Soldier? I am IN the military, buddy. And you should be thanking people like me for giving you and protecting your right to say things like that. Your knowledge is impressive, do not degrade yourself by insulting the people who have carried this country on your back. Military men and women write a blank check to their country for anything up to and including their life! Can you say that you had the bravery to do that. I don't agree with the government either. But don't hate our troops

[fluidvoid]

your=their

[HoboSoulder]

I'm not anti-military, i just don't venerate them anymore than i should, nor do i see how US Troops protect my freedom, considering i'm Irish, i won't find it in Iraq and Afghanistan where alot of the worlds oil supply just so happens to be, they are hardly a danger to yours or anyones freedom in America, if someone comes to take my freedom away, i'll protect it on my own turf, myself, like we've always done. But yes, it's a hard job and those that do it are dedicated, i acknowledge that.

[fluidvoid]

Thank you for that acknowledgement. We share a common ancestry. I'm not saying Afganistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom are fun times. Terrorism has caused my country to become so paralyzed with fear that we're handing are freedoms away. That's all I mean. If it weren't for our troops showing us their bravery, the sheep of America would all be living in cages to "protect themselves." Sorry for getting so heated, I'm sure you can appreciate my stance.

[megamega2k]

The only thing about the debates that was true.

[TreyvonDunbar]

UGH! If I thought that he would win... my head hurts... Soon, my friends. Soon the government will be for the people... but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it will be today...

[Selling0My0Knowledge]

Nader will be on Fox News tonight at about 8:25 eastern time.

[Dutchoven08]

You got flagged as spam on this video..

[kutusov88]

You people need to elect this guy...

[acdc09]

I'm voting for Nader! He's 74 so sadly this is most likely his last run for president. We need more people like him. I originally wanted Dennis Kucinich.

[rainebf2]

lol greens

[vernacularsnoop]

Green Change has the email addresses for Commission on Presidential Debates board members, who are disregarding the popular will by refusing to open the debates to ballot-qualified candidates like Baldwin, Barr, McKinney, and Nader. Go to GreenChangeDotOrg and tell the CPD that you want open, democratic debates.

Vote Nader /Gonzalez 2008!

[happyhead7]

You know we are fucked up when opposites like Nadar and Ron Paul come together and agree that the main two candidates are puppets for Lobbyists.

[freakofsociety81]

You know what? If Nader is so concerned why does he only pop up every 4 years and why doesn't he do more to challenge corporate power? ::rolls eyes::

[baalyezidi]

freakofsociety81... does nothing?? DOES NOTHING??? wtf are u talking about.. OHH YEAH U WATCH MAINSTREAM MEDIA ONLY.. DO INFORMATION on nader and u will see how much he has done for us..

just because he is not famous on tv does not mean he does nothing.. WAKE UP AMERICA

[ISMEY]

yeh i guess.........if he had more coverage from the media.

[Susieshepherd]

What I want to know is why no one seems to be fighting back against the stupid jets that are flying around our planet spewing b.s. Chemicals that linger in the air for hours and kill vegatation. Nothing else matters while we're having random chemicals sprayed on us without our consent. Innocent children deserve better and we owe it to them to stop the b.s.

[Susieshepherd]

I'm voting for Obama, he's already given me an opportunity to show up his headquarters whenever I want and he's giving me an open forum to discuss how I feel via his website, but Nader is kick ass too

[sincityscott]

Ralph Nader neither has the backing, the clout or the political power to get anything done in Washington! Some of what he believes sounds good, and some is crazy but he knows that he can't and won't change a thing. He's a grandstanding fool who simply wants to keep his fame intact.

[Dutchoven08]

Okay, Mr Intelligent informed opinion, What part of Nader's policies "sound Crazy" exactly?

And are you of the opinion that helping draft The Safe Drinking Water Act, The Clean Air Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act Nat'l Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and a few dozen more protection Laws, Spearheading the creation of the Consumer Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and many many others is "Getting Nothing Done in DC".

Are you stupid or uninformed?

???

[Dutchoven08]

Seatbelts!

Down to our seatbelts, this man has saved countless american lives.

Buckle up, this is gonna be an unsafe election without Ralph Nader at the microphone!

[GeorgeHayduke1000]

This man has done more to improve the quality of your daily life than McCain or Obama has ever done or will ever do. He has a record that any politician would be envious of. Wake up, America.

[Talkatif]

That's too bad, he is, look how much he's gathered from corporate sponsors for his campaign, stop supporting donkeys & pachyderms

[SalemXIII]

I wouldn't say Obama is for corporations. That just seems like a little bit of a stretch to me.

[Atch67]

Really? How do you explain how he's raised over $400,000,000 for his campaign?

Don't get me wrong, I'm likely to vote for him but get the blinders off. He's part of the system.

[AssilemakaMelissa]

Seriously Salem?! Obama just accepted Lobbyist money from the same corporations that would benefit from the bailout after he told the public he is against Lobbyist money then he voted yes to the Bailout right after. He told the people he would listen to and do what the majority of the people wanted, the people said no bailout! He even pushed for the bailout!

[PantyRaidProductions]

When you check out who got funding from what, a lot of the same corporations donated both to McCain and Obama. Obama actually got a lot more from them than McCain. :\

[AINTMYAMERICA]

Man we don't even have a constitutional republic anymore. What we live in is basically a War-ocracy/Technocracy. Its like living in 1984 by george orwell. COntinuous warfare, constant surveilling, and a government of war-addicts and control freaks. We are not represented at all. And even the people we vote for dont actually control things in this country. This country is ran by the Military and INtelligence Beauracrats. BOth unelected. This is why we are in NAto, u.n., etc.

[Faldread]

Unfortunately there's nothing substantive here either ... The core of America's problems at this point is our outrageous consumption. The debt we've created since basically Reagan's administration has put us in dire straights economically, as anyway can see now. Unwillingness to ween ourselves off of oil has caused ever increasing incursions into the gulf since the 70's. Our invasion and nonwarlike societal attitude are at odds with each other and our debts are crushing our economy.

[josda1000]

nader... spot on in this quick interview. hopefully more people will speak for him...

[ryanmczero]

I hate to say I forgot about Nader until I saw one of LisaNova's videos. Even during these first two debates I've been focused on style and reasonableness, instead of saying, "Wait, neither of you care about anything I care about: alternative energy, corporate greed, remodeled infrastructure, and clean air, food, and water."

[ryanmczero]

and "free education through college, and free healthcare even for the poor."

[Leinieslightman]

well said Ralph.  We need you to be president Ralph. Repubs and Dems are all the same. Obama and mccain will make a ZERO difference in this country

Nader 08!

[AssilemakaMelissa]

Ilove Ralph Nader!

Vote Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez 2008!

[Talkatif]

This just shows the corporations will go out of their morals in order to make sure they got who THEY WANT, and not show men like Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Mike Gravel & Dennis Kucinich, I doubt this will be a clean election as usual, some 'democracy', not allowing 3rd ticket to be in the televised debate, because he'll own them both & i don't find it surprising that the republicrats see it as a threat to their campaign considering they both sell out to the republicrats. screw the elephant & donkey.

[blarch2]

i want that poster

[trubeniz]

united we stand divided we fall. America is more divided than anyone so it seems .We the people want peace they the government want war.The problem, we the people have to fight while they live in peace.If they want war let them go too and see how long it last.

[nowellian]

Well said Ralph!

Then only was we will even win is to break the 2 party dictatorship, and Nader has done more in that reguard than any one else.

Thank you Ralph Nader!

[travelfar22]

You'd be Played-A-Fool voting for the RepubliCrats again!

Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same.

We've had plenty of time to see, they are corrupt.

Same old story.

Great words of Wisdom from our Man, Ralph, though!

Ralph Nader has been an advocate for your average citizen for many years. Everyone should bypass the corporate controlled media and get on youtube and democracynow[dot]org. Apathy is sinking the ship and, Europe cannot believe how citizens of the U.S. blindly follow the duopoly!

[sohpproductions]

How come it looks like he's drunk to much? And what is boondoglestarwars? He's weird, creepy and ugly.

[No0utlet]

Finally Nader is judged on the same merits that presidential candidates are always judged on: personal appearance, demeanor and strange things said.

[No0utlet]

Oh, and it would appear that "boondoggle" means "a scheme that wastes time and money" and "Star Wars" is the nickname of a defense system which would defend the US from strategic nuclear missile attacks. Wiki - "Strategic Defense Initiative" and "boondoggle"

[Mayoku3]

because he's depressed at how pathetic Obama and Mccain were in the debates he should have been in.

Nader is on 45 state ballots, and is not given​a chance

in the televised debates. No democracy there!

[dstorey36532]

With the drop of 777 and the Democracts and Republicans fighting, if this two party system does not make you upset, then I don't believe anything will. Nader has been saying that this would happen to Wall Street for years. The only candidate with a platform of Stoping the Corportations, STILL is not getting the media coverage. The corportations own the media.

Wake up America!, while we still have a country!

Vote Nader/Gonzalez!

[AjaPuppy1]

No, the Democrats hate Ralph Nader because he takes Democratic votes. I would probably vote for Ralph Nader (if I could) if I knew it would make a difference. But really, folks, in our elections, you have to take the lesser of two evils.

[No0utlet]

First of all, I question the use of the work "take". Maybe "earn" is more appropriate, especially considering the work involved in getting recognized and accepted by Dems especially since 2000. Next, people who decide not to vote for their party's candidate are more likely not impressed with that candidate than they are wooed by the candidate whom they do vote for. In other words, he'll earn more Rep. votes than Dem. votes because Reps are less impressed with McCain than Dems are for Obama.

[No0utlet]

Then finally, what other way is there for voters to put pressure on their candidate? The only tools voters have for putting pressure on the two major party candidates are A)start an extremely profitable business and pay him large contributions or 2) threaten to vote for someone else. Since voters from both major parties are so freaked out about the other major party candidate winning, the candidates they should look to for their "protest votes" are the third parties. Its the only way to press em

[No0utlet]

Really, in our elections, why not think of the least evil of three people? Or four? Or five or six? Why two? The choice you're limiting yourself to may be(and likely is, considering the major two are the ones the corporations are backing) the second-most evil guy of more than six potential candidates.

[AjaPuppy1]

the reason you have to take the "lesser of two evils" is because it is only obama and mccain who have any intention of actually being president. by voting for anyone else, you effectively throw your vote away, which is your own business, but I just don't see the purpose.

[mad3moyer]

The purpose is to get these issues that he and other third party candidates address, which the two mainstream ignore. The more support that is given to these candidates, the more difficult it becomes for the mainstream ones to ignore them. Will 7-8% of the vote going to third parties make it happen...maybe not, but if that rises to 10-12% in 2012, and 15% or above in 2016...eventually someone has to take notice.

[roscogre]

Great we will be totally enslaved by then.

There is no way these rigged machines will ever let a 3rd Party get close.

Now they have the polls rigged so no one will notice.

But if everyone voted 3rd party and they lost, even the sheep will know this is no democracy and our republic is gone.

The wall street thugs(helicopter Ben and Hanky-panky Paulson) should have to break rocks for a living until they pay US back.

Paulson got half a billion parting from Goldman sachs.

[mad3moyer]

On top of that, the two major parties attempt to sabatoge third party candidates who they think may be "stealing" votes from them. in 2004, the Democratic Party got Nader pulled off a number of state ballots by tying him up with multiple lawsuits and depleting his time and money. This time, volunteers made sure they went above and beyond the requirements, so there was no contesting his eligibility. The Republican Party is doing the same thing to Bob Barr this time around.

[sagekat3]

Everyone needs to do some loud actions at media centers that they cannot ignore. The media needs to know that participation in the media blackout will not go unpunished and we will not be silenced. Seriously as long as people are sitting on a computer arguing in the comment section of youtube nothing gets done - Unless you are doing it while participating in a sit in at a mainstream tv/radio station or newspaper.

[AjaPuppy1]

the reason you have to take the "lesser of two evils" is because it is only obama and mccain who have any intention of actually being president. by voting for anyone else, you effectively throw your vote away, which is your own business, but I just don't see the purpose.

[Mayoku3]

You don't think third parties run with the intention of becoming president? :| Why would they go through all the trouble trying to get the media to cover them? Why would they be trying so hard to get into the debates?

[No0utlet]

Where do you get the idea that the other candidates don't have any "intention of actually being president"? I don't see any evidence for that.

By limiting your vote to the two major parties, you're eliminating your ability to put pressure on them to counteract the pressure corporations use. That to me, seems to be the only wasted vote or worse... masochistic vote.

[AjaPuppy1]

third party candidates simply don't have any realistic chance of winning.

[No0utlet]

Sentiments like that keep major parties from having any realistic chance of representing the wish of the people. Check and mate.

[AjaPuppy1]

how so?

[No0utlet]

I've said the only realistic way of putting pressure on your candidate is to threaten to take your vote elsewhere. It's the only vocal chord you've got.

The vote of those who(like you) won't even consider voting for anyone but one of the two sell-out candidates can be taken for granted. Neither will represent your values because your only threat is to vote for the other major party candidate who also won't represent your values.

You can look at it as a two party system: corporations vs people.

[sagekat3]

For independents to "threaten to vote for the other candidate" doesn't make sense. Who are you suggesting we "threaten" and who do you believe is "the other candidate"?

[No0utlet]

You've changed my quote. I had already said I was talking about people who won't consider voting for anyone but Democrat or Republican party candidates. So if the person is leaning Democrat this election, they threaten Obama that they will vote for McCain. If they are leaning Republican, it's vice versa. My point is that it doesn't make sense because neither represent their wishes unless they own a huge corporation. The only meaningful threat is to vote third party, in my opinion.

[AjaPuppy1]

Remember, just because it is a two party system doesn't mean that you only have two choices. Both Obama and McCain were selected as the most qualified in their party among many others. I am not necessarily against Nader, its just that he would have more impact if he ran with the Democrats or the Republicans. Just look at Ron Paul.

[No0utlet]

The media sells candidates during the primaries too. Ron Paul rarely got media attention besides his grassroots supporters. It's a very difficult thing to take a sold-out party back from the corporations when they own the most influential communications.

Corporations essentially choose which candidates are "worth voting for"(ie. soul-less) and present them in the media while ignoring other candidates.

[iantryan]

here here. shoot your T.V.

[roscogre]

No being bought by the bankers and corporations,the ones who put them there, is what keeps them from representing the people,

you poor naive fool.

[No0utlet]

That's what I'm saying. That's the ONLY pressure being put on the major candidates because most of the people are unwilling to vote against BOTH candidates. I don't understand how what you said is against what I said. Threatening to vote for someone else is the counter measure against corporate funding.

It's not nice to call people names.

[LordHines420]

WELL SAID! Osama, whoops, I mean Obama is a FRAUD! just like mccain and palin!

[DaHonestAbe]

The fact that he really cares is the reason that he will never win. Its sad really? We never elect capable leaders.

Wonder how that slipped through?

[LordHines420]

if nader were president, the world would be a different place today. imagine that! sad it will never happen because the jew world order won't let it happen.... :(

[ArcticSlicer]

Register to vote and help make it happen. Only 43% of eligible voters voted in the 2006 election. That's like 100 million people if all of those people became enraged enough at the two parties to vote against them; Ralph Nader could win by a 2:1 margin over McCain and Obama.

You have to take the first step by registering to vote and letting your voice be heard. Don't wait for someone else to do it for you.

Ralph Nader is on 45 state ballots! Or is it 46 now?

Go Nader and Gonzalez!

Nader for President 2008

w w w votenader dot o r g

[ArcticSlicer]

45 states and the District of Columbia for a total of 46 ballots. Additionally he is a valid write-in candidate in 4 other states. Only the people in Oklahoma will not be able to vote for him in November.

Remember that Ralph Nader gave "Bailout Wall Street" the thumb down.

[megamega2k]

I think we all lost with the two main canidates.

[DrRizz]

Nader is almost on all the states ballots just a couple more to go. He on my state ballot and he has my vote.

[ArcticSlicer]

He will be on the ballot in 45 states plus the District of Columbia. In addition to this he is a valid write-in candidate in 4 other states. Unless you live in Oklahoma you will be able to vote for Ralph Nader.

[misterpatrickstar]

Well, I am voting NADER/GONZALEZ!!! I am not compromising my heart and soul for anyone. I am voting for the candidates who have the same views as me on the various issues. That is Nader/Gonzalez!! It is as simple as that.

[mcprimm]

I also wrote letters to my Congressmen to vote no on the Bailout.

American People 1, Big Business 0.

Washington listened..finally...it only took 10 to 1 against to finally get them to listen. Make them listen and vote for Ralph Nader of course.

[Sadie308]

When are the people going to wake up and realize that the future of this country is in OUR hands. I'm mad as hell...and I'm not going to take it anymore....VOTE NADER/GONZALEZ IN 2008! LET'S SHAKE IT UP, AMERICA!!!

[mbs2978]

People's ignorance is the corporations bliss. Spread the word! Nader/Gonzalez 2008!

Nader/Gonzalez 2008!

[rithean33]

Best most honest summary of the debates out there.

Vote Nader/Gonzalez 2008

[smartgirl63]

Nader/Gonzalez '08!

[KARIN094]

Our Country would finally be for the People if we vote for Ralph Nader!

Time for change, time to move forward!

Vote for Nader '08

[malmucciani]

That debate really was a bunch of trash. The debates need to be open to third parties! Independents are a large portion of our country now and they need to be heard.

[Plasticsoul]

way to go Ralph! keep on telling it like it is, sir.

[luijoc]

Nader has already achieved more positive change for this country than many of our presidents! He has saved countless lives by forcing car manufactures in the early 70's to add safety features to automobiles. The clean water act, the clear air programs... Thank you Mr. Nader.

[sagekat3]

Are you saying that a lifetime of consumer activism and devotion to making the USA a better country is better than years of being a cokehead and going AWOL? ;)

[campaign4liberty]

this Ron Paul supporter campainging for Ralph

[mainjurii]

thank you, ralph, for caring about the american people, and for the well being of the whole planet.

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican parties = THEY the CORPORATION$

We are with you Ralph Nader!

[bigtexbigtex]

Ralph tells it like it is. Why do the Repubs and Dems fear him so? Maybe because he's right! Great vid. That correspondent dude is a hottie, too!

[yviva]

too true

[MiGP1981]

Do Americans even know what a revolution is any more? Definitely isn't what the hippies did back in the day, because they failed. It's about bringing back the Military to serve the people, the Constitution once again.

[Dutchoven08]

Mainstream Media won...

Another blow against media balance and real fairness.

When they got away with "stealing the debates" away from viable, on the ballots candidates, they won another skirmish against Truth.

We will win the war, however.

Nader at the helm!

[evildevil97]

And they call this a Democracy....
