On the Passage of the Bailout Bill

[Matt2h]

Nobody likes bailouts, but Lehman Brothers was a ticking time bomb. You address the symptom in need of immediate attention. You defuse the bomb, at whatever expense. THEN you regulate and break up the companies and do whatever you have to do to prevent this stuff from happening again. But to just categorically that you oppose bailouts for financial companies shows a complete naivete about what was going on. Nobody likes bailouts. Letting them get "too big to fail" was the problem. But the

[Matt2h]

I love Nader and I voted for him, but I get the sense that he either doesn't understand the importance of the FINANCIAL bailout or doesn't want to have to break it to his supporters. Letting any financial institution become "too big to fail" in the first place is the original sin. But then letting these giants go under.. knowing the damage it would do.. When Paulson let Lehman fail.. just to prove his dissonant, die-hard, laissez-faire philosophy wrong! Monstrously, calamitously wrong!

[kingamin77]

the majority of america ignored nader because 'they know not what they do'!

[qweqqweqbt]

good, but he doesn't really stress the federal reserve's involvement.

[nastylefthook1]

look at the congressional vote on bailout bill,,,overwhelmingly jewish congressmen wether rep or dem voted for bailout out bill,,,,why,,because money went to jewish international interest or jewish run investment bankers,,,federal reserve keeps this secret

[quuqeemonster]

I love him.

El socialismo es un falso atajo. No trae paz, progreso y democracia sino todo lo contrario.

Lo que ha demostrado que ha fracasado no es el capitalismo, sino el capitalismo intervenido, la falta de capitalismo.

[BassAce93]

Nader '08!

[IndependenceAgain]

Has anyone seen NY Democrat Jerry Nadler drop a bomb on Obama over the past day?

Is it too late?

Nope, tomorrow is election day.

Vote for MCCAIN PALIN 2008!

Don't waste your vote on a blowout, vote for Nader!

[gspot2016]

He just doesn't really know what he is talking about. Doesn't understand world economics. Good thing he has no chance of being President. What an idiot

[dap106]

this man is gold!! too bad our education level is so low some people don't even know he exist!

[besakamel]

Debunked

[artofdanu]

i totally support and believe in you! Ralph,Matt and team!-i don't know anything about that stuff! but companies should be loyal to their investers and hopefully all parties involved would have good intensions! and if a company is government funded it 's products and services should be provided as a public service! this is my opinion!

[camelhawk]

NADER IN THE WHITEHOUSE 08

[Zeddtar]

There has already been Six King Georges !

[arunmaroli]

Good call on Lieberman

[stephlibrarian]

A vote for Nader is a vote against corporate control

[billybbob18]

I just wish people would stop getting ALL info from the established news companies. They'll say ANYTHING to support their/their investor's interests. McCain/Obama are corporate whores and nothing more. People get so sucked in by their TVs. They actually still believe what they get from the tube. Democrats/Republicans are tags that represent the fools that reside in this country. They get rounded up like sheep, get split down the middle, then fight each other. That's exactly whats expected of you

[Tonyinrosnemex]

I'll probably vote for Nader. If only people voted with their heart or gut instead of voting for the lesser of two evils. I don't think any candidate is the perfect candidate, but Nader is my last hope. If it wasn't Nader I would vote for Ron Paul. I am one new his big supporters since the primaries. I still need to look into Baldwin. I hope Ralph Nader, protects our liberties, legalizes hemp and encourages people to get involved in their local communities!

[throatkickerr]

Baldwin's lame, don't waste your time. He's basically McCain's mini-me =P

[cosmic088]

That's absolutely ridiculous. He might be Ron Paul's mini-me, but he's worlds away from McCain.

[voltairian3]

VoteNader 08!

[emo1angels1]

c my vagina is SO sore right now!! lol my bf just got done f*cking me! H

[cadbah]

On one night, I worked with 4 other people. Two of them said they are not going to vote at all. Apathy will be our undoing. People act like "our" government is a separate entity from "us". If we are governed by clowns and crooks, it is because we elected them.

[megamega2k]

Vote Nader yeah!

[pier49er]

It's my first time being eligble to vote (18). Think I found my candidate

[matabaca]

Americans let's wake up. This 2party system is nothing more than fraud. Democrats or Republicans don't care about us. Please vote nader and who ever he supports.

[Allmyd1]

Why in the world do we subject ourselves to this 2 party system? I do not trust Obama or McCain, I do however trust Nader to do exactly as he says he'll do!

[6of6]

I have a presidential lawn banner of "Nader/Gonzalez '08" on my lawn. It is sickening to hear how many people that walk down my block have no idea who he is.

[matabaca]

I agree with you. Most of Americans are nothing but sheeps.

[stephlibrarian]

i agree with matabaca. we have to do more than vote for Nader -- we have to get off our asses and get involved. take the government back to the people! fight corporate media control. this is a war of ideas. vote for nader and then do what you can to bring power back to the people.

[0613162k]

Put a sign next to it saying he's a national candidate on 45 state ballots. Maybe it'll motivate them to find out.

[LamassuProductions]

WOW, you're amazing!!

[NaderRaider]

Ralph, the voice of truth, reason and justice!

Vote Nader 2008!!!!

[travelfar22]

The Writing Is On The WALL $treet bailOUT!

The Bailout is taxation without representation or consultation!

> Democrat/Clinton deregulated and caused this mess.

> Republican/Bu$h blank check bails the crooks out.

Millions of Americans have no health care but, RepubliCrat$ partY throw money away into the Wall Street speculator gambler void!

TREASON: THE SELLING OUT OF ONES COUNTRY TO AID ANOTHERS COUNTRY!

[sailinship]

Please....Your comment is really disgusting.

[spacemadness123]

turn off you cell when nader is talking. lol.

[edgarweb]

Nader reads the fine print...

[Selling0My0Knowledge]

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

[Briansingsopera]

Ralph YOU ARE my Abraham Lincoln. I've always have felt this

ever since I was 12 years old. My family (mid-west farmers from Illinois in the 50's & 60's) sat at the dinner table discussing a cross gambit of intellectual topics. Look at where America is now. It's pretty damn depessing. I hope it's not too late for America to WAKE UP!!! & elect you NADER/ GONZALES to bring this great nation back to REALITY. GOD BLESS YOU RALPH, for all you have done for America.

If I was an American, I would definitely vote for Nader.

[Kold2market]

WOW ! This is a great vid. I think it's one of Nader's best. Can you people imagine having an articulate intelligent President in Ralph Nader! WOW, I can see clearly WHY the Corporate media, McCain and Obama are afraid of him. Nader would put all of them to shame!

[soniaelisa2008]

I know, this is unfair! Are "We the People" I believe people in Congress forgot about the Contitution Crisis!

They should aid and prevent homeowner foreclosure and default! Millions of Americans have no health care but, RepubliCrat partY throw money away into the Wall Street speculator gambler void!

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

That's right. Clinton started this.

[Infantprotect]

There are two American Hero's running for president this Nov. (Ralph Nader and John McCain) and one American Zero.

The Zero is Barak Obama.

[taoistcowboy123]

Well I really don't trust Obama to lead this country in the right direction. The lesser of two evils does not earn my vote. Nor does coming from a Chikago based home district with a 10% tax rate, the highest unemployment and hightest homicide rates. Then to boot he lives in a house in which Rezko bought the vacant lot next door. Let's face it, Obama has been bought and is crooked.

[firstxsquid]

Blind party loyalty is also despicable, especially right now. You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to have realized in the past few days what a royal screwing over the republicrat party has foisted on us.

[StratusBlue]

Blind patriotism is despicable.

You are lower than Hessians. At least the Hessians were not too stupid to understand why and for what they fought.

To fight as a mindless drone for criminals is the lowest form of pursuit.

[rach80sbaby]

AMEN

[StratusBlue]

Only religio-racism can explain how ANY American can remain silent in view of the criminal fraud of Congress, the Federal Reserve and the genocidal military-industrial complex.

The pledge of allegiance is a promise to UPHOLD justice for all. We The People cannot do nothing and call ourselves American.

You who fail to recognize our domestic enemy and blindly goose-step to the orders of the traitorous international corporate elites are not Americans.

[firstxsquid]

We've never needed Ralph Nader more than we do right now; please take action by calling your Congress and State officials, The Obama campaign, etc. and let your voice be heard. Let's get Ralph Nader's voice to as many people as possible ourselves, as the major networks seem to be boycotting him.

[yakyakyak69]

Nader is half-right! He is confusing Capitalism (which is GOOD) with Corporatism (Corporate Socialism) which is what America has become!

Nader is correct in that we MUST vote 3rd party in November for real change. We MUST also ARM OURSELVES to defend our freedoms FROM govt!

LEARN: Read the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers so you can speak through knowledge instead of just regurgitating the news.

[campaign4liberty]

this Ron Paul supporter campaigns for Ralph Nader

[laserlight9]

Wow! Great speech. This man is a winner, whether he makes it to the White house or not. And there will come a time when people all over the world will wish he was there. Too many people in this country are duped by the duopoly-they wouldn't know true democracy if it stood up in their soup and popped a kiss on their forehead! The KINGpins on Wallstreet are hijacking our country!Stop this! Vote against war and corporate control. Vote Nader/Gonzalez

[travelfar22]

Nader is our only hope of saving this country from the greed mongers and the TIME IS NOW!

Unite and join us and WE CAN WIN = Vote NADER/Gonzalez!

[MyOverflow]

Taxation without representation, King George (W. Bush), democratic degradation....

Sounds like revolutionary stuff!

[Endza50]

Another thing is , you need to realise that your government has messed up the world and you guys are still there , dancing and supporting puppets that sing like Mr. Bush. When are you going to wake up and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and put some order in our house! Things are as bad as it is in America and around the world , except few countries. May God give you wisdom and help us all to find the right way and overcome hard times. Best of luck to all in USA. Stand for your rights

[megamega2k]

I think this was well said, and he made very important points. Go go Nader!

[marissacalderon]

Wooo! Nader 08! Anyone from KY, we are doing a major protest against mccain, obama and bush and trying to spread the word about Nader. Anyone in KY interested, let me know! Nader/Gonzalez08!

[artermixdml]

No Carrionite he didn't call him and hermaphrodite. What Nader said was that Liberman policies are "hermaphrodite" which meant that he switches between republican and democrat ideologies.

I am definetely voting for Nader because of the Bailouts. I am glad all this happened, it pushed me to look for another candidate.

[judyhulsey]

It shouldn't have taken this long for you to look--I've been determined to write-in for months, as soon as O and Mc were presented to us and there is something wrong in Denmark--

this is the best from the great politicians, heros, diplomats, and civilians of this country??

[crystal062806]

Nader only needs about 35% of the votes to win! Even if he gets somewhere in the area of 20% that will be the largest votes ever for an independant party for president! Understanding that obama will probably win, but if we get record numbers for an independent canidate, I can almost guarantee in 2012 we will have an independant President by the name of JESSE VENTURA!!! Let's get the independent votes out there and take over this country and put it back in the hands of the people!!!!

[Cubehead666]

Nah, let's get Hulk Hogan on the ballot!

[bigholmes31]

Jesse Ventura as President of the United States would be the largest crisis in American History.

[Endza50]

bigholmes31 ..what are you talking about! Ventura is just another honest man , but he is not runing for presidency yet. So speak about him when the times come. Bush is the largest crises in American and world history!

Remeber 9/11?Back then He accused Benladin and attacked Iraq. And now this internationl wall street SCUM and the bailout, and you American people held responsible to pay for pirates. Why you ? Why not those responsible for it? Wake up sheeplets.

[AssilemakaMelissa]

I can not understand why everybody does not vote for Ralph Nader?

Is it me or does it seem most people are dense?

Half of the country are the 'welfare mentality' of 'gimme, gimme, gimme' and that is what O is promising--at our expense.

[ihearu2]

I love Ralph and his running mate Matt Gonzales. The media shut-out is so infuriating! Many more people would vote Nader if the media hadn't sold out to the Republicrat parties. We need to get the word out there! We need to be the media.

[usedtobesupermom]

You ARE RIGHT Ralph!!! The bailout IS TAXATION

WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!!!!!!

VOTE NADAR/GONZALEZ 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carrionite]

Did he call Joe Lieberman a hermaphrodite, or am I hallucinating???

[H0M312]

so is nader going to be in the debates on tuesday??? ralph nader needs to convince the people that are voting for McCain they are voting for him because people don't like obama and once you get those votes then their is a chance of winning...

Nader 08!!!!

[0613162k]

Ralph Nader is ironically more conservative than McCain and Bush.

Don't forget Nader's run AGAINST them every election & got more votes fro Repubicans than democrats.

Since when did conservatives support deficit spending of an overbloated military budget and corporate bailouts at taxpayers expense.

Show all Republicans youtube videos entitled:

"Conservative Ralph Nader by the Southern Avenger" &

"Ron Paul and Ralph Nader on CNN 9/10/08"

[Dutchoven08]

I think I've watched this vid 4 times now and it gets better and better!

I'm passing it to all of my lists, now!

Nader Now!!

[Endza50]

Great and honest speech. This is the man that you need to trust sheeplets! Take a chance when it is not late still.He is as good as Dr. Ron Paul.

[8DoverNJ]

Yup. I'm a Ron Paulican voting for Nader! I realize their philosophical differences, but they're both comprehensive, honest and increbibly consistent in their principles.

THIS IS IT - The Bailout is a hot issue! Most Americans were and still are vehemetly against it and NADER/Gonzalez is VOCALLY AGAINST IT!

So it's a real differenciator. Major contrast.

NAder stand with "WE THE PEOPLE" !!!

McCAIN and OBAMA stand with BUSH,the Wall Street fatcat CEOs, the Corporation and power elite - they don't care about the you the taxpaer, you who has lost your home in foreclosure, you who lost their job because of disasterous decisions in Washington.

Vote NADER 2008!

[Dutchoven08]

I like the panning with Mr Nader in the walk-up, adds a good sense of him. Good edit. Karen, was this yours?

Well done.

Nader Now!

[mryoda]

go Nader!!!!! fuck the rest!!

[jenups]

Everyone needs to see this video, please get your family and friends to watch it. This mainstream media has refused to critique this despicable Bailout. The American people are being shut out of our own government, lorded over by corporate media.

[AssilemakaMelissa]

Ralph Nader has my vote!

w w w dot votenader dot o r g

[RIProgressive]

With Nader's legendary status as America's preeminent consumer advocate, he should have been the first person that the media should have asked about the bail out. The corporate lip lock on our representatives Voters cannot even get their elected representatives in an election season. The media & the party's and the corporate election committee that they own have blocked out Main Street from even getting a hearing. Nader is right, this will turn out to be a huge waste of money.

[travelfar22]

This Bailout is taxation without representation or consultation!

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

>* Republican/Bu$h wants a blank check to bail the crooks out.

They should be aiding and preventing homeowner foreclosure and default with our tax dollars! Millions of Americans have no health care but, Republican/Democrat partY want to throw money away into the speculator gambler void!

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican partY = THEY the CORPORATION$

[ufoengines]

Make you think how muck longer they're going to let YouTube get away with letting guys like Nader get the word out. A trillion bucks for Wall Street and nothing for a National Heath Care Plan.

[Dutchoven08]

Youtube was designed (or allowed to be designed) as a steam release for the frustrated masses.

Note, that even if 100,000 people from around the world watch and listen to a video about an alternative candidate, the 300 million americans still are unaware that he exists.

This way, we feel we are doing 'something', just as the corporate-profit-media censors these voices and omits them from the broad public conscience.

It takes people willing to speak out, in line at the market about truth!

Nader!

[80jvc88]

I appreciate that Nader gives us a plan of action.

I support Nader 2008.

[tenagliac]

Thank goodness we can go and vote out all these minions of Wallstreet in a couple weeks. See how they like being unemployed in a depresssion.

[DrZarkloff]

God Bless Ralph Nader.

[atvfreelife]

god has nothing to do with it. please go see bill maher's film 'religulous'. It is an important and entertaining film.

[DrZarkloff]

Actually, I understand that. I just felt like saying that at the moment. I am so damn sick of the bullying Republicans and the Democrats. By the way, I am agnostic.

[coachbrp]

I had my first job at age 14, since then I have never stopped working and paying taxes.

To put myself through college I had to live in the woods and my friends garage. I eventually earned a Doctorate.

I had to do this simply to make a living wage for me, my wife and 2 small children.

Home prices that will not adjust because of this bailout, and greedy corporations that have destroyed what is left of the woods have made things worse for ordinary people like me than they have ever been

[jejatt]

Nader is what America needs!

[TheRealDreadsen]

We need to rally for more people like Nader to get elected into the senate. Or at a Governor position.

[shellymae81]

I agree. It would be interesting to see if Nader's honesty and common sense would be contagious in the Senate. It would also broaden his support base and help people see the legitimacy behind Nader's platform.

[CulturalEngineer]

From USA TODAY Sept 19:

"Among the nation's top political donors since 1989 are 10 of the nation's biggest banks and investment firms (who)showered lawmakers, parties and candidates with $170 million. While the money flowed, financial institutions generally got what they wanted."

$170 Million dollars! A lot of money! We can't possibly compete with that!

REALLY?

The POWER of SMALL money, LARGE numbers & Immediate Feedback that may not have occurred to you - POLITICAL MICRODONATION!

hey democrats and republicans will be greeted with chocolates and flowers for getting this one through...
