Debating the Role of Third Parties in the U.S. Pt. 5 of 5

[FRSFreeStateES]

It would be great for American Politics if the Christian Right of the Republican Party. Broke off from republicans and formed their own party. And the Democratic Socialists broke off from the democrats and formed their own party.

[Shawnyblade]

Come on people lets love ourself enough to have a someone who will work for US....NOT for Themself!!! Ralph Nader is real and that what we need!

[guruapa]

vote ron paul

[oldmedusa]

I really miss Phil Donahue....

[Shawnyblade]

Me too

[dilbertgeg]

a party that is GOING TO WIN

US voting process has been Corp PRIVATIZED, citizens are forbidden to inspect software, to verify -- that's how they KNOW who is GOING to win

courts ruled that Corp Dollars = Free Speech

The Onion video jokes about sham democracy and voting.

system designed to obstruct MAJORITY opinion, exclude minority parties, not include it

very clever scam

in Venezuela, 95% of voters turn out, even if they must wait in line 12 hours, Constitution MUCH more open.

Done.

[AgTip]

I love integrity. I love Ralph.

I love intelligent debate.

"If you don't express yourself honestly, then you are a politician, not a voter." That's saying it.

[ScarletLetterR]

I'm voting for Paul come hell or high water. But if you need me to sign anything to get Nader/Gozalez on the ballet in Colorado let me know.

[nadermatrixs]

Thank you ....this KIND of crossing the lines is what we need if we keep getting the distractions we fail our selves...L&L to you and yours, Keep shining brightly...!

[masilknm]

I've voted FOR Ralph since 1996 (as a write-in that time and in 2004) because he articulates the solutions to improve our country. That's what my vote means to me. I'm grateful that he is committed to telling the truth and has the passion to never give in to those who try to blaspheme his name and record.

[Hoopmov]

Thank you. I watched all 5 parts.

[accountnotavailable]

Last Presidential election, I voted for the lesser of two evils. I will not make that mistake again. Voting for the lesser of two evils is not voting at all. Voting for the lesser of two evils is throwing your vote away. Nader is here because millions of people who haven't been brainwashed by media are begging him to run. I urge you to pull your head out of your butt and give this guy votes, support and money.

[NWKBricks1]

Excellent. Thank you Henriette and Steve!! This DVD is worth every penny.

The Democrat and Republican party just does not speak for me. Guns, God, and Gays are not at the top of my list. I could give a damn about who wears a flag or who loves God more.

How about addressing issues such as campaign finance reform, corporate crime, and corporate welfare?

Ralph has had my vote since he announced his candidacy.

[williamtlor]

I recommend this to crack the ice of the duopoly in the fall election: Nader-Gonzalez purchases maybe 3 or 4 fifteen-minute time slots on national tv (yes, I'll gladly contribute, as will many) and use film clips of the Democratic and Republican candidates' positions on an issue/issues one week with Ralph answering w/his position, another issue/issues another week, etc. Watch the votes add up for Nader-Gonzalez in the closest were going to get for Ralph to be in the "debates".

[pioneerofdisaster]

its a wonderful documentary,but its only talking to the people that already know,need to get to mr dumbass,go on saturday night live,cmon ralph wheres the sense of humour

[copana2002]

Wow, these interviewees have some excellent points.

[dakdh]

you got my vote ralph-and i'm canadian

[oh2love4love]

I want to see this. I hope that people will wake up to the truth of our broken nation...

God bless the Ralph Nader's of the world, we love you Mr. Nader, thank for all that you do. =)

[cordovarancho]

Joe Tom Easley(former Nader's Raider) says he rarely disagrees with Ralph Nader's views, yet he will not vote for Ralph because he's "the enemy of the second best." Hey Joe, if you're gonna sell yourself short and vote for the second best, you might as well cast a vote for the candidate that upholds your own views. It's funny how dumb the educated(on the progressive side) can be sometimes. Nader/Gozalez '08 all the way.

[daderone]

maybe we're just diminishing the possibility of that change comming thru your candidate and your party. Who ever wastes time talking about all the stuff the Green Party doesn't get done? huh?

I have a breaking point there is a certain point when I say you're a hypocrite. I'm certainly a progressive and certainly not lifting a finger 4 him. He's not my enemy, I just refuse 2 waste my time. You're right. I think more like Al Gore than Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader..who is a politician. I'm a voter.

[daderone]

yeay me and 10 other people watched this. I even used 2 support Ralph Nader..in order 2 have a 3rd party get elected he would say have had to have done something to make a third party electable. So when he doesn't win this election..maybe he could do that before he runs again. You have my permission to do something to build a 3rd party, when you do it give me a call. I know you'd love to demonize me unfortunately it won't help u get elected. Keep giving the right wing something 2 jerk off to.

[mecha69]

You're missing the point. This is part of an on-going process. Real change against an embedded, tenacious entity requires time and work.

[daderone]

no i was making a point. Perhaps you are missing it.

[ym0511]

why don't you take a look at Ralph Nader's history and see what he has done for America. Nobody comes close.

[daderone]

again not what I was speaking about. I love seat belts. You tell me what he's done to make himself more electable in this election than he was in the last.

I'll tell you, nothing. He's not unelectable like most candidates, he's unelectable because it is impossible for him to actually win. Literally. You give him your money if u want to. I'm sure not gonna. This is about something more than ideology

[vforsub]

How can you be so dense and claim to support Nader? Right wing, left wing, it is all the same. That is something you don't get. Think more like Al Gore? Look out ManBearPig is behind you!

[daderone]

okie dokie. Since its all the same I see no reason why I'd vote for your shitty candidate he sounds like a little whinning bitch. You seem like a waste of skin.

[vforsub]

We are all wastes of skin. You just perpetuate the illusion of value, trolling on the web and you want deem out worthiness?

Also watch or read what Gore Vidal has to say about your precious Al Gore... I wouldn't know personally but I think for myself and take into consideration when a rational man like Gore Vidal speaks...

[daderone]

its called having an opinion. What exactely do you think you're doing?

take a moment and listen to the laughter which surrounds the candidacy you sit here in support of.

You want me 2 write u a book about every bad thing about Nader? Sorry its a waste of time. What about everything hypocritical the Green Party says they support vs. what they do in action. Sometimes nobody really challenges you b/c well there are better things to do. ie. the many great things my $ and time WILL go 2

[vforsub]

I never said I was a Nader supporter. You seem to think just because I attack your idiocy I support the Green Party? You say you have better things to do and yet here you are again responding to my bullshit. I have no illusions has what I say having any value... you on the other hand... Hypocrisy is rampant in any political party. So many others who get IT here alone with their comments sheds further light on your idiocy.

[daderone]

And you critisize me but fail to recognize what you critisize me for 'not getting or seeing'. I get it. You're a person. I'm a person. I'm talking to you, and if u didn't keep responding the conversation would be over.

However Nader is a politician, The Green Party is a political party and both seem to never get any real critisizm. If you think this, my comment, is it. Well you're quite confused.

See you have an opinion, this is called a conversation. Somethings are reality.

[vforsub]

If you didn't keep responding the conversation would be over. Don't put it all on me. Let's leave it at that.

[daderone]

why are you one of those last word freaks? If not. Cool peace.

[AgTip]

Hey, Mr Huff and Puff daderone, send me 10 things bad that Nader has done, not just empty rhetoric. And 10 things the almost inert Green Party has done wrong. And then maybe we can talk about your "opinion". Oh, and learn how to spell "exactly," "it's," how to punctuate accurately, and how to use capitals. I don't care if you are modern and cyber-experienced, learn to handle the language. Otherwise you are just another bloviating bigot.

[daderone]

oh yeah I'm such a bigot. I told you I have better things to do then list Nader's hypocracy. All you guys have done is bitch, name call and not list a single relevant answer.

Sorry like everybody else in this world i have better things to do. Why not call it a healthy excercise oh proud supporter of dissent. I'd like to hear you critisize the party yourself. Can't? Then stfu.

[mickalene]

would it be wrong to promise a vote to the candidate who would campaign to get Ralph Nader into the national debate?

[teiladnam]

Interesting how the first guy's interpretation of the major parties is the opposite of what Obama is saying. Of course, Obama is full of crap.

[relgstorm]

phil donahue rocks!!!

[GretnaBlast]

I bought this dvd, it's definitely one of my favorites.
