First Bailout Vote: Press Conference with Ralph Nader

[22pinkmonkey]

comment me back

funny video lets chat PF

[ImparatorEugenius]

Third Party does not work. Come to Canada and figure it out. People who support far right or left wing parties are IDIOTS. However, those who actualy look at what is going and vote either for a more liberal or a more conservative government actualy don't waist their votes. people who become emotionaly charged and vote for idiots cause things liek WW2 and the Soviet Union. Please, read up about how your country works. Nader is an idiot an COMPLEATLY out of touch with how things work.

[bwest578]

I understand that. I don't think a lot of people really want him to be president. But, if someone disagreed with the bailout, don't support our nation's endorsement of Israel's policy, want corporate lobbyists out of DC, and want to stop the military industrial complex, then you are left out. These aren't radical positions. They are progressive. And the Democratic party is a Center-left party, not a progressive one. What are people left with? Too bad laws exist to choke other ideas out.

[Gugguggug]

Completely not true, we have a minority government so the NDP (third party) as well as the Block have influence.

[Capitalocracy]

if you or any relative of yours has ever been in a car crash and survived because of minimal safety standards, you can thank Ralph Nader, and don't call him an idiot. I'm alive because of Ralph Nader, and I bet you know and care about someone who is too.

[wefdsau]

Exactly why I don't support first party. Nader 08'.

[NaderRaider]

Ralph is the voice of reason, justice and integrity!

VOTE NADER 08!!!

From which institute of higher learning did Lou Dobbs receive his financial degree?

Seriously, this blow-hole is such a joke, and who does he think he's fooling by masquerading as an Independent? Everyone knows that Dobbs is a Republican who dreams of becoming a more relevant political game-changer; he so wishes he was Bill O'Reilly. Whats even more offensive is that this pathetic loser gives real Independents a bad name.

[jenups]

I'd encourage everyone to forward this video along to your friends and family. Most Americans have a gut feeling that this bill is bad...Ralph Nader explains why, how, and just how bad it is.

[Kold2market]

NADER HAS BEEN RIGHT ON SO MANY ISSUES, AND HE IS 100% RIght on what will happen if Senate pases this and House approves. There will be massive civic revolt!

On the bright side, people will finally WAKE UP and realize that NADER IS THE ONLY VIABLE CHOICE FOR TRUE CHANGE IN AMERICA!!!

[antidote7]

There should be a revolt but the majority of Americans are way to stupid...

[StratusBlue]

The Democrats are in a trance that is so deep, that they do not see their part in any of the war, any of the corruption or any of the treason.

It is religious in its extreme lack of logical support. The Democrats are conviced the devil is the other guy, same as Republicans.

It is eerie.

[KARIN094]

Nader said once; They have had the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 10 years into 00's to get it right. Now they want 700 Billion dollars to bailout their buddies!

Nader has always been for the American people. It simply makes sense to finally vote in someone that has always been looking out for us!

Nader will always follow the will of the American people!

The others dont care about you! But, they are real good at fooling you and taking your money!

Nader/Gonzalez 08!

[jimitl5]

"Nader has always been for the American people. It simply makes sense to finally vote in someone that has always been looking out for us!"

He always seems to have said what he beived no matter how unpopular. At times being honest to a fault. McCain lost my vote after choosing the idiot Palin and utting the country at risk. I am considering Nader. For those who will say I am wasting my vote...well ask yourself the question: Isn't a vote for the other candidates the same thing?

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican party = THEY the CORPORATION$

Vote NADER/Gonzalez!

[echoexist]

Yes! Obama and McCain should give the money they took from the financial industry back! Otherwise the people should revolt. It's time to take a stand and vote for the candidate who will hold these corporate criminals accountable. Ralph Nader 08!

[nowellian]

Democrats and republicans are crooks.

Vote Nader/Gonzalez!

[HughieGphiladelphia]

Obama and Mccain wil vote yes for it, I know it!

Nader is the last person running with any sense and is a honest man.

Dont give up Nader, you along with Mike Gravel are inspriring the young people in this country!

[KoreanKol]

HughieGphiladelphia, only McCain voted for it.

Guys, guess what! The House of Representatives is keeping the House website (HouseDOTgov) shut down during business hours. It's only up late at night.

I wonder why!?

Keep calling!

(202) 456-1414

[jfeucht82]

You want to talk to the senate, which is senateDOTgov. They are voting on the bill tomorrow. Congress is on vacation for Jewish holiday right now.

[Kold2market]

America is watching to see if Obama/McCain stand with the Corporate fat cats by supporting a bail out. OR side with the american taxpayer and reject this bailout...

[MooseOfReason]

They support the bailout. But they didn't vote on it because the bailout failed in the house!

[crazygolfer333]

If you want to see Nader and the other third party candidates than pledge at thirdpartyticket (dot) com

Thanks

[glowghosty17]

I urge all of you to call Washington, 202-224-3121, and tell your representative No Bailout. Insist that they consider the Rep Marcy Kaptur's NO BAILOUT PLAN that is being drafted. The Bailout is being moved straight to the Senate tommorrow in an attempt to overrule the House.

I just watched the meeting with Ralph Nader on Updtream. Thanks for letting us know about it Red Star! It was an awesome meeting.

Vote Nader/ Gonzalez 2008!

[satchelmcqueen1]

yeah Nader! thank you for the truth.

[RedStarRevolver26]

Nader is now live at ustream(dot)tv

[NatureLegalized]

Thanks! :)*****

[NatureLegalized]

I only find prerecorded there but I'm enjoying that now, thank you very much :)

[CaptainBasic1]

Nader speaks the truth on facts, but I disagree with his conclusions. The market should not be further regulated. Market regulation = barriers to entry for companies who compete against the power elite. One (of many) examples is the Disabilities Act. Large corporations lobbied to enforce regulations on smaller companies that threaten their power.

That being said, I admire any man who stands up to the two party system. I have dugg, rated, and commented on this video to help people wake up.

[CCrossfan]

Barr or Nader? Decisions decisions :/

[MooseOfReason]

Digg it!

[AssilemakaMelissa]

Please for our childrens sake, do not put either Obama or McCain in office. We need a real man for the people in the inside looking out for us. Punch or write in Nader/Gonzalez ticket for 2008

[AssilemakaMelissa]

It is obvious That Obama is being paid to vote for the bailout! How blinded the people are by celebrity! Scary that all it takes to make people vote for the wrong person is charisma..forget what he has voted for, FISA, THE Patriot Act and the bailout...NO!, the people don't care about the facts -They only care about charisma and celebrity. If either win THIS ELECTION WE ARE COMPLETELY SCREWED AS A NATION! WE WILL BECOME A POLICE STAE AND WE WILL BE RULED BY A FASCIST DICTATERSHIP!

[exaurius]

but that's what people want, they hate themselves

[StratusBlue]

1 guy VS. Corporate America and the Federal Reserve's Central banking cartel.

Who will you support?

As for me, I will never forget the 2.3 Trillion dollars Rumsfeld revealed was stolen via Pentagon embezzlement on 9/10/01. I will not forget Congress' total complicity. No investigation. Congress did not even blink.

The next day was 9/11 and insider trading was exposed but Congress did nothing. Even Japan investigated that insider trading but Bush hindered investigation of 9/11 for 2 years.

[BoKnowsEntertainment]

We are seeing the dividing lines between US and THEM more and more clearly every day.

[pondman27]

This entire scenario is predicted within the Protocols of teh Elders of Zion. A world economic catastrophe that will attempt to ring into reality, the amitions of the likes of Kissinger and Brezinski.

A multifaceted attack on ordinary people has been underway for more than half a century and it is escalating now at an alarming rate.

The demigods that we cannot see, have planned this for a very long time and now they think they are close which is why martial law will come by mid October.

[Diabu]

I appreciate the idea not to bail out those institutions that have cause the misery in the first place, but to bail out 'prudent innocent people'. The argument FOR the bailout would be, that it does exactly that, save the economy from breaking down and thus saving the prudent people as well eventually. I am interested to hear arguments that counter this claim.

[pondman27]

The bailout will not protect the market. Markets should not require any contribution from ordinary people.

This is in simple plain terms, theft from the nation, a nation where previous deceipt and covert corruption has already led to the loss of millions of lives and the destruction of human rights. This cold blooded machine must be stopped for the sakes of humanity.

[Dutchoven08]

Some people forget to add 5 stars to Nader videos that they like a lot.

So let's help them out and add 5 stars each time we are able to in order to get the videos where they're supposed to be on the charts!

Nader Now!

[rumpelstillskin65]

mccain/obama want this 700billion dollar corupt corporate bailout yet they will still vote for these idiots people need to wake up and vote NADER dont you people think if they cared for you they would do something about the high cost of fuel,food,medical care,insurance and do something about wages they vote pay raises down for you and up for themselves here we go agian HELL NO BAILOUT call your congress 1-800-828-0498 pass the #

[1911arthur]

It will cost a trillion in the end! They could write a chech for $100,000 to every head of household(family) in the US!

Give us a bone not the greedy bankers! We will stimulate the economy! We could all buy a house! Give us a Golden Parachute!

[ki4clz]

and they will come clamoring for their votes under the guise of economic reform...

sad

[lizardfirefighter110]

Thousands going into the streets in protest? That's right its in the plan.  The perfect solution for those protesters is already in place minus a vote by the Senate. Timing is everything. Hurry up! Vote and pass S-1959 it was already approved in the House as H.R. 1955. What should we do with all of the protesters arrested? That has already been planned out. Google Army Regulation 210-35! See the letter by Elliot Spitzer printed in the Washington Post 2/14/08

[rj5150]

Open the debates!

[Kold2market]

Go Nader/Gonzalez2008

You have my vote in November!

[marissacalderon]

Nader/Gonzalez08! Goes to show with this bailout that Democrats are worse than Republicans! They are more worried about covering up their evil deeds, hiding something maybe? DOWN WITH THE MOB (MCCAIN, OBAMA, BUSH).

[onlyonedeb2000]

Go Ralph Nader. Nader 08

[HalfSharkGator]

why is there only a republican vs. democrat debate? seriously is ralph nader ever gonna get a chance to talk about the issues on a national stage?

[AINTMYAMERICA]

Because they want to keep the truth from people. Their truth-haters that want to keep americans as slaves while they intoxicae them with war-fury and fake patriotism. Why cant Mccain debate Nader? DO you know that the american people would actually see the difference between candidates for the first time! They dont want this !

[jenups]

ThirdPartyTicket is planning on a debate of all six candidates (Baldwin, Barr, Nader, McKinney, Obama and McCain). They have a website that you can visit. IF there is enough outrage and letters to the editors, I don't see how the mainstream media (or Obama and McCain) will be able to ignore these debates, especially after all this monkey business that's been going on.

[wandasway]

Ralph tells it like it is .American's wake up before it's too late.

[FartheadOgre]

Don't let these criminals get away!!!

[rayharryhausen6]

I SAW HIM TODAY!!! Probably within hours of this very speech. It was wonderful.

[Guevaristas]

on another vid Ralph claims that- socialism bails out capitalism, but not the other way around.

To move in at the national level seems so hypocritical and contrary to the idea of the "free" -market.

By Bush wanting to push this Bill through he is nationalizing the debt. Bush detests communism, but he here is, the hypocrite, intervening at the "State level". He is attempting to use socialistic intervention to rescue the US economy-refer again to Ralph Nader's claim, above!!

[CCrossfan]

If the Democrats care so much about this, they should actually vote for it. 95 voted against it...

[Nader4President]

got to watch this video

this couple has a message for you

[Nader4President]

Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson Jr. the United States Treasury Secretary, as CEO of Goldman Sachs made $46.74 million over 5 years , and had wealth in stock of $632.4 million as of 2006 (from Forbes (dot) com)

[FrankCastlez]

I'm wondering just how big a crisis this really is. The Democrats have been saying it's a crisis. The president has been saying it's a crisis, but has anybody actually been treating it as a crisis? Now, by this I mean something very simple. The Democrats had the votes all last week to do this. They could have avoided a week of angst, they could have avoided a week of anxiety, they could have avoided a week of nervousness, but they didn't.

[Lazlo7321]

"They could have avoided a week of angst, they could have avoided a week of anxiety, they could have avoided a week of nervousness, but they didn't."

They are stubborn politicians in the worst way until the very end. It reminds me of the orchestra playing as the Titanic sank.

[spanishaustralian]

get back your country

[Whoo69]

With all the corporate crap we have to put up with, the endless wars, the national security state, the endless spending, civil liberties violations, constitutional violations, environmental degradation, torture, warrantless wiretaps, telecom immunity, bans on personal freedom, and so much more, people still are just gonna TAKE IT and vote almost equal numbers for McCain as Obama??? Goddamit! Obama's not much better, though, so double-WTF.

[Whoo69]

"Privatize the profits, socialize the loses" Well, no more! Fuck that. Nader/Gonzalez will NOT socialize your losses, Wall Street. Learn from your mistakes instead of asking taxpayers to pay for it. Calling this a "financial crisis" and using all this doom-and-gloom language and fearmongering is not the way to go. It's a distortion of the reality. Most people will be fine if we don't bail out Wall St. Tell Wall St. to come up with the $700 Billion for a change.

[Whoo69]

Am I supposed to believe that Wall Street, as rich as it is, can't come up with an additional $700 Billion within a year, if not jus ta few months? Please! Big corporations like Wal-Mart, Microsoft and many others make several billions in profit. They'll come up with the money in no time. They just don't wanna take that responsibility and work from scratch cuz they're pansies, these capital giants and execs.

[Whoo69]

God I hate our "free-market" economic system so much. Whenever Wall St. screws up, who's responsible for getting them out? US! Taxpayers always get pushed around by Wall Street, and all we can do is take it up the ass farther and farther with each passing year, until one day we burst and decide to revolt. I hope we revolt soon, or else this country truly is finish. In Europe, this kind of bailout bullshit would never be allowed.

[Whoo69]

Did he say Obama received $25 MILLION from financial institutions in contributions??? WTF!

[Whoo69]

Fuck the bailout! I'm sick of having to socialize Wall St's messes. Why should WE clean up after THEM?? Let these damn executives clean up after their own messes! They're the ones who screwed up, with the help of both major parties, of course. They should bear the burden, not the people. Maybe some of that $700 Billion should come out of a pay cut in Congressional salaries. What do you think? And massive pay cuts for CEOs. In one fell swoop, we almost increased the debt by 1 trillion.

[marniespeaks]

We saw which democrats and republicans are bought and sold by the corporations - you know what to do at the polls now.

America is waking up!

Let's not lose this momentum!

[dawance88]

You must be a complete idiot for insulting Ralph Nader's knowledge on anything. This man is a genius, honestly.

[Dutchoven08]

Great looking backdrop, gang!

[sagekat3]

You know in a hundred years or so, students will be sitting in a history class and wondering how our country could have been so stupid as to not have elected Nader the FIRST time he ran.

[luijoc]

"You know in a hundred years or so, students will be sitting in a history class and wondering how our country could have been so stupid as to not have elected Nader the FIRST time he ran."

If things keep going at this rate he will probable be vanish from history Orwellian style.

[AssilemakaMelissa]

In a hundred years will there be any kids from working family homes able to go to school if we keep voting for the elite? They obviously could care less about us and both parties continually vote aginst the people.

Vote Nader 2008! We need someone on our side!

[travelfar22]

NO Bailout of the Wall Street speculator crooks!

* Democrat/Clinton admin. deregulated and caused this mess!

* Republican/Bush wants a blank check to bail the crooks out!

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican parties = THEY the CORPORATION$

[vedicastrol]

Ralph you said there has never been a taxpayers revolt in this country. Remember the Revolutionary War? That's where we're headed.

[NewandimprovedWO]

This is a victory for Americans from right to left.

[NaderNashville]

Ralph Nader 45 years of the good fight for economic equality, Ralph Nader the only candidate on all the issues
