Who's faces are on Mt. Rushmore? Well, for me, the MOST influential is Theodore Roosevelt. Let me tell you why, He is a 3rd PARTY president, he split the Repubs in two, he effected CHANGE on a Radical platform, No ONE called him a spoiler, he broke apart the Republican party! His policies continued by pressuring the Repubs to adopt his plans. He and Taft defeated some of the largest corporations(aka Trusts) of the time. He Called for Universal Health Care, and created national forests.

TRUST yourself and when the hair stands up on the back of your neck, FEEL it! We need to end the DIVISION and get RID of the Democrats and the Republicans LIKE RON PAUL SAID on 09/10/2008! Let's take back Congress and the Senate NOW
Wake up, America and read between the lines. Read what the democrats and republicans are not telling you. It's not what a person says that is important, but what he doesn't say. Wake up, America.
sploo, any doctor that refuses to administer aide to someone in need is violating his Hippocratic oath. It is against the law to deny a person health care. In countries with socialized medicine they just put you on a waiting list until you die. That is what Davis, Nader and Obama want.
have you ever been to a hospital in canada? its not like they will let you die because somebody else has to go before you. and obamas health care plan calls for giving money to HMO'S. thats not socialist and we will have the same system. go figure.
sploog, have you seen the news reports on Canadas health care? You only know what "Obama" says his plan is. Obama is a socialist. He wants National Health care, he has just learned not to say so.
hes not socialist, you just haven't done your research. go look up his health care plan. hes not changing our system, hes just lowering the price of health insurance. the news reports you have seen are exaggerated. granted there is a chance you can end up on a waiting list, but if you have a malignant tumor they arent going to make you wait a month. i actually looked up his health care plan, i suggest you do the same. he never said he was socialist in the first place, that was mccain.
sploo, keep fooling yourself, check his record in Ill. Senate. SOCIALIST. ALL liberal democrats are SOCIALISTS. Government needs to get out of the health care business.
liberal-somebody considered a follower of social liberalism, wich is a political ideology that seeks to maximize individual liberties.
a liberal by definition cant be socialist. so wich is it?
goverment is already in the health care business, who do you think pays for ambulances? i have checked his record. the guy isn't changing anything, hes just lowering the price of health insurance. that is not socialism.
I read more on this Nader guy, but seeing how things will go and being that I live in Florida (please accept my apologizes for having dumb asses counting the poll) I doubt such a man will ever get his voice in, much less voted for. So far all I see on the news is cat fights between Obama and McCain. We can discuss on the net all day, but half of US doesn't have internet access shows that half of the nation is asleep, enough to lose all hope. We need media coverage not net garbage screams.
The Corporations control both parties with money printed by the Federal Reserve Cartel. Wake up America. Nader is the only candidate with experience fighting Corporations. He beat GM out of 280,000 when they spied on him. He is the guy who can stop big brother from screwing us. Nader/Gonzalez 08.
Have ya'll heard that Michael Moore called the people voting for Nader "crazy." Nader is the only candidate that supports the single payer, health care for all system Moore advocates. Moore's crazy w/ a k: KRAZY!
Right? And I saw the video of Moore on Bill Maher, before the 2004 election, the both of them begging Nader not to run. They might have even gotten on their knees and begged. How foolish of them- either way.
Has anybody seen the Unreasonable Man? It's a documentary about Ralph Napder, I am humbled that he wants to be our president and happy to see that someone truly believes that our democratic system can work when it's actually followed honestly. Thank you Ralph Nader for all of your dedication, sacrifice and hard work. He is truly an inspiration.
of course they should open the debates, but since they are controlled by some pretty fucked up people, you know it ain't gunna happen.... but thanks for speaking up Davis!
mopsius.. nope it's the opposite, Kucinich should join the Nader campaign. I was very disappointed he threw his support behind Obama/Biden at the convention.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the democrats. vote for them and WASTE ur vote and our democracy
I have a question how do I get in on the polling? Who are these people who are polling? I have taken a poll, and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people out there like me. So these polls aren't even accurate to begin with.
Most polls are fixed by the corporate media channels that are excluding the third party candidates from their debates (CNN, Fox News. MSNBC etc.) They uually don't even include them on the poll.
Look up the zogby poll which is one of the most known polls that does sometimes include third party candidates. I don't know how to vote on it, but leave your comments any way to demand inclusion in the debates of third party candidates.
On the 1st debate they should open it up to all candidates who're polling over 1% in at least 1 state in 1 of the 5 major polls.
We have thousands of ppl running for President in one way or another so can't include them all, but that should limit the number to 5 or 6 -- probably Barack, McCain, Barr, Baldwin, Nader, & McKinney.
In the 2nd debate they could limit it to those who have over 5% in at least 1 state poll by the 5 major polling organizations.
This is a place for civil conversation and debate.
How can you allow such vulgar insults posted about a man with integrity who has devoted his life to his country?
Go to obama yt channel and post a polite comment asking why they do not allow Nader in the debates and do Not post it. And you allow such hateful people come here and waste our time.
"MUNJOLO55" 's vulgar speech indicates he has not read a book written by or about Nader.
i'm sorry if my comments are rude. hell for all i know i'm turning off supporters. i just lost my temper. if people are too stupid to make the right decision, i'm not gonna make it for them. fuck them if they can't see the facts.
All the video in the world mean little if YOU don't go out & hand out leaflets, hoist picket signs & MARCH every Saturday against the war. Come to Denver. Demand Obama get out of Afghanistan.
End the two-party dictatorship that has destroyed our nation economically and morally. Vote for a true patriot for a change. One who would actually abide by the oath of office for a change... and defend the Constitution against foreign AND DOMESTIC enemies. A man who would represent "We the people" for a change like they're supposed to instead of just the corporations who are now running the country and the 3 branches of government criminals. Vote for Ralph Nader!
I think I just got dumber by watching this. This is where dumbass media comes into play. How you gonna believe that. There are no facts in this at all or supporting evidence. DUMBFUCKS.
How does it "spoil the real candidates" to allow others to be heard by the same audience. If your so sure of your candidates great policies this should pose no threat.
Where do you see real candidates? All I see are a bunch of phony assholes who want to keep waging war and stealing our money. The grass is NOT greener on the other side of the fence, its just an illusion.
And fuck you too MUNJOLO55. You call Obama a real candidate. You call a liar a real candidate? Lick my balls and eat shit. You don't know a damn thing about politics and you shouldn't vote. You probably don't read because you can't spell Nader fool. I'll be rude to you asshole for saying fuck to nader. Fuck you for ruining the country with your stupid vote for either Obama or McCain.
Though without millions in potential revenue at stake, corporate-money-worshiping networks would never aire Truth like this.
Nowadays the evil-doing string-pullers don't need to line up a "lone-Gunman" to take out honest candidates..
They merely deny them any exposure on the "programming-box" that is placed in front of the people 24/7 in every home, Wal-Mart and restaurant across the US of A.
voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil!
voting is an exercise in futility anyway, anybody remember 2000, 2004, 2006????
i love ralph, but the system is a corporate oligarchy, and the only way the people win is by TAKING back the seat of power-- not voting. not calling congress. not sitting at home and trusting the status quo...
why can't you forgive Nader? its been 8 long years of unjust blame from the democrats. the fact is that noone owns a person's vote..they must earn it. 2.5 million democrats didn't even vote in florida for that election. 250,000 democrats voted republican in florida that year. nader got around 97,000 votes in florida. the libertarian and reform party got about 30,000 votes combined in florida and gore supposedly lost by less than a thousand votes. the democrats need a scape goat tho........
Ours is taken out of our paycheck...which is 23 dollars every two weeks.My husband makes about 100K a year...you need to get into a group insurance policy..not a private one..check around for pricing
I just saw your page and that you are a small business owner..do you know that Nobama will raise the Social Security that you have to match and he will raise the taxes to 50% on small business owners..you surely make more money than us...Private Insurance sucks..get group insurance for your employees and put yourself on it as well..you will deduct their premiums from their checks
Why in the world do you think my life is too cushy?I had my own business before moving back to Texas and know first hand what I am talking about...You can vote for whoever your heart desires..but Nader has never won and never will...People find him to be a joke..McCain isn't as conservative as me..but only two out of those running will win and I can't vote for Nobama..He is just to radically left socialist for me..a Vote for Nader IS A VOTE FOR Nobama...he will ruin our lives.I am awake hon!
Even today, after all this time, I still find it hard to believe that people could as fucking stupid as what you just said. The entire diatribe is idiotic... simply because if you think John McBush is going to help this country do anything to help you, your family or America. You have lost your damn mind.
Be that as it may, it doesn't excuse your brainwashed diatribe of (at best) misinformation, but as it apparently seems (at worst) you are intentionally complicit in what is being done to this country I love.
I have no desire to indulge idiocy, when it is too far gone to help. You are too far gone, so I have nothing but disdain for you.
Good day. I hope we can save this country and world from fools like you. You kind sickens me.
Either vote for smooth talking Obama or vote for senile McCain. it doesn't matter. With McCain we'll continue killing people in Iraq, and with Obama we'll kill people in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Go ahead. After all Nader's unrealistic. Go ahead. Vote for war. Your American. That's what you always do anyway. Your the type that makes me unpatriotic.
Nader has never won and will never will because of people like you. You probably don't know what the word socialist means. Ralph Nader is not a socialist and never said he was. McCain and Obama are both war candidates. Obama wants to extend the war to Pakistan and Afghanistan and kill people there. And McCain wants to stay in Iraq. You choose. Murderers or Nader. I won't bother telling you who to vote for. If you can't decide I won't decide for you. You may also not vote if you want.

It's really true though that the media is the main reason why they can get away with shoving a 2 party only system down our throats. If they would only equally talk about other people running it would open the public minds up to so many more possibilities.
Actually in 2000 Nader got more votes from Republicans than Democrats therfore actually helped the Demohawks that ignore the fact that Bush got more votes from registered Democrats than Nader.Every poll so far shows only with the inclusion of NAder and BArr does Obama take a lead from McCain, otherwise it's a dead heat.That's because the idea of decreased spending on military expansion, occupation, preemptive wars is supported by true conservatives as well who are against big government spending
WoW, Davis!! Thanks so much for your contributions. This should be an official campaign ad! Great points, hard-hitting presentation, and perfect length for a tv ad. Can (or will) you offer this for a campaign ad??
If they don't allow Nader to debate, I hope to be able to be outside the debates protesting! I will vote for NO ONE ELSE BUT NADER!!
Oh, Gods, Davis! Not Nader!!! I don't want Nader anywhere near anything remotely presidential this time around!!! He's taking money from the Republicans to do what he does, I KNOW it!!!
I supported Nader's inclusion in the debates eight years ago when he seemed to be relevant. Actually, I wouldn't mind if he was in the debates this time around, because most media people would dismiss his ideas as too radical and incompatible with America's aims anyway. Conservatives already paint Obama as a socialist. What shred of acceptance would Nader's proposals realistically gain with even a plurality of Americans?
saw nader just few days ago on c-span in singapore this guy is the real deal he is beholden to know one.
yes i know he doesnt have a chance the media simply ignore him and americans are too lazy to actually research the facts,but when your empire has expired historians will see him as a significant man who saw the way the world really is and tried dammit to change it for the better.
58 cents of every US tax dollar goes to the military. Thats total INSANITY! Compared to china's gdp, which is now close to parity with america's gdp, they are spending 90% less in military. Equivalent to something like 7 cents in every tax dollar.
Obviously your main candidates for presidency are nothing more than corporate salesmen promoting war for greed. They should all be hanged for killing children for profit, every last one of them.
Ah, we agree again. Maybe I'm a little more extreme. I hate Republican and Democratic "parties" There should be no parties. Everyone should be independant.
And then Ron Paul Kucinich and Nader were subsequently excluded from the debates as corporate media and the corporate parties were threatned by the impact of their message. What being in the debates achieves is representing millions of Americans who are against the war and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan and refuse any calls of expansion of the war on teror. It brings issues to national disscussion that are otherwise are off the table or unchallenged.
Ralph Nader eloquently address many views that the majority of Americans hold. He is extremely intelligent and capable, but corporate America controls the air waves, thus controlling what most people see as "reality".
The people will most likely not be "allowed" to hear Nader in any debates.
This controlled process of censorship is called "democracy".
So, no wonder the majority of Americans do not vote in most of our elections.
He was loaded into a truck with a group of about 90 children. When the children started screaming and struggling the boy yelled, "Get in here. Get in the truck. Stop your crying. You saw the way your parents and grandparents went. Climb in, then you'll get to see them again."
And as they were being driven off I heard him shout back to the guard, "You won't be forgiven anything."
The concept of a right to "free speech" implies not only a right to free speaking, but a ***right to be heard***, for without the later the prior is irrelevant. Open the debates!
DFW: you should, when possible, quote references for your figures. Ralph is polling at 6%? That's amazing, if true. And "18,000" Americans die each year due to lack of health insurance? Hm. That seems low. I think some 200,000 die every year from medical malpractice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ralph Nader is a loser and a joke and always has been.Those that vote for him dilute the effectiveness of voting .Hopefully he'll take votes away from Nobama
Velcro...sounds like you are talking about yourself...can't you debate anything with out trying to name call or intimidate...I'm smarter than you'll ever be in ten lifetimes
Name call or intimidate. "Loser and a joke", "vote for him and dilute the effectiveness of voting". The man has accomplished more then McCain and Obama combined.National Automobile and Highway Traffic Safety Act,Clean Water Act,Clean Air Act,Co-Op Bank Bill,Law establishing Environmental Protection Agency,Consumer Product Safety Act,Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Supportersof past and preseent from Nader, Buchanan, Ron Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, McKinney, Barr and Baldwin only ask for the inclusion of our candidates in the debates to represent our voice.
Whereas for the Democrats and Republicans, it's not enough to demand inclusion of their candidates, they have to demand the exclusion of all third party candidates, and all candidates that challenge the influence of politics by big money from the military, oil, nuclear & healthinsurance industry and AIPAC
I confirmed today that several teams/individuals visited Jakarta during the last six months to gather up critical documents regarding Barack. It is amazing what money can buy. The information includes details of how Barack made his way to Pakistan. Oh! Did I mention there have been similar efforts underway in Pakistan. There are several lessons and warnings in the John Edwards affair for Obama. First and foremost, you cannot hide your past
Do you have a point? Oh my God, this person has traveled to foreign countries--what a horrible thing!! Well, whoops, I've done the same thing. Guess I can't be president either...even if I'm white.
Just today, courtesy of the Rocky Mountain News, we confirmed that Barack aka Barry Soetoro Obama was a citizen of Kenya since 1963. Barack has yet to stipulate when he renounced or relinquished that citizenship. That will be a distracting issue in the upcoming campaign. Americans don't want to elect a Kenyan as President. It is that simple.
Direct from the Rocky Mountain News website: "Editor's note: One of the items on this list has been removed because it mistakenly repeated a report that Barack Obama holds dual United States-Kenyan citizenship. This erroneous information was never reported in the Rocky Mountain News print edition."
6% really, still yea, not going to happen, Why not also ask for Barr and Paul to be part of this as well. No matter how much you yell. And this year of all years I cant get behind a 3ed party. We really need to someone who can really have a shot of getting in even if we dont like him all the way. McCain will give us more of what we got and its not helping us. Obama is really not 100% of what I want but he is a hell of a lot better then McCain and has a real shot of winning.
Barack aka Barry Soetoro might have escaped scrutiny back in 1960 when there was no internet. Controlling information back then was so much easier. Not today. It is there for the taking and the Democrats foolishly chose to trust this clown just as they trusted John Edwards.
where to begin, ok. Barry was a nickname that people who know him as a kid still call him. Soetoro was his stepfather's last name and changed it back to his birth name after his mome and stepdad broke up. You want to take about Edwards and his affair, how about McCain and his affair? you like the internet so much look it up. Yea, also Obama is not Edwards. Good try but really, you lose.
ross perot was only polling at 7% and he was allowed in the debates between bush and clinton but nader isn't shows how courupt the debate commision has become
When the ppl stand up, the government will bow down. congressional switchboard.(866-340-9281) call and talk to your rep. sen. tell them to get there shit strait, tell your friends to call call every hour on the hour. I have. Tell them you'll vote them out on there ass. they work for you.peace.
Bob Barr is consistently polling even higher than Nader. It'd be GREAT to have a debate with all four of them!
But Obama and McCain don't want that. They want to control the debate, so they can pretend that they're different, that they're offering a choice, and so that they can avoid focusing on the real issues and problems Americans are concerned about.
it is a shame our democracy has come to this blocking out 3rd party candidates the gop and dems used to be a 3rd party and now they're forgetting how they got to where they are today open up the debates let nader in
Finally, a possibility for a real debate with ALL 6 ballot-qualified candidates!! Visit thirdpartyticket(dot)com and pledge support.

Nader will never win, voting for him takes votes from the democrats.
Nader gets most of his funding from republicans, because they know every vote for Nader is one less vote for the democrats.
This is one of the reasons the republicans won the last election.
The important thing, for now, is to make sure the republicans don't win, so vote democrat.

End the two-party dictatorship that has destroyed our nation economically and morally. Vote for a true patriot for a change. One who would actually abide by the oath of office for a change... and defend the Constitution against foreign AND DOMESTIC enemies. A man who would represent "We the people" for a change like they're supposed to instead of just the corporations who are now running the country and the 3 branches of government criminals. Vote for Ralph Nader!

Nader has never won and will never will because of people like you. You probably don't know what the word socialist means. Ralph Nader is not a socialist and never said he was. McCain and Obama are both war candidates. Obama wants to extend the war to Pakistan and Afghanistan and kill people there. And McCain wants to stay in Iraq. You choose. Murderers or Nader. I won't bother telling you who to vote for. If you can't decide I won't decide for you. You may also not vote if you want.

Actually in 2000 Nader got more votes from Republicans than Democrats therfore actually helped the Demohawks that ignore the fact that Bush got more votes from registered Democrats than Nader.Every poll so far shows only with the inclusion of NAder and BArr does Obama take a lead from McCain, otherwise it's a dead heat.That's because the idea of decreased spending on military expansion, occupation, preemptive wars is supported by true conservatives as well who are against big government spending

I supported Nader's inclusion in the debates eight years ago when he seemed to be relevant. Actually, I wouldn't mind if he was in the debates this time around, because most media people would dismiss his ideas as too radical and incompatible with America's aims anyway. Conservatives already paint Obama as a socialist. What shred of acceptance would Nader's proposals realistically gain with even a plurality of Americans?

58 cents of every US tax dollar goes to the military. Thats total INSANITY! Compared to china's gdp, which is now close to parity with america's gdp, they are spending 90% less in military. Equivalent to something like 7 cents in every tax dollar.

And then Ron Paul Kucinich and Nader were subsequently excluded from the debates as corporate media and the corporate parties were threatned by the impact of their message. What being in the debates achieves is representing millions of Americans who are against the war and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan and refuse any calls of expansion of the war on teror. It brings issues to national disscussion that are otherwise are off the table or unchallenged.

Ralph Nader eloquently address many views that the majority of Americans hold. He is extremely intelligent and capable, but corporate America controls the air waves, thus controlling what most people see as "reality".
The people will most likely not be "allowed" to hear Nader in any debates.
This controlled process of censorship is called "democracy".
So, no wonder the majority of Americans do not vote in most of our elections.
If we allow this to continue we are to blame!

From Peter Weiss; The Investigation -- Part Two
He was loaded into a truck with a group of about 90 children. When the children started screaming and struggling the boy yelled, "Get in here. Get in the truck. Stop your crying. You saw the way your parents and grandparents went. Climb in, then you'll get to see them again."
And as they were being driven off I heard him shout back to the guard, "You won't be forgiven anything."

Whereas for the Democrats and Republicans, it's not enough to demand inclusion of their candidates, they have to demand the exclusion of all third party candidates, and all candidates that challenge the influence of politics by big money from the military, oil, nuclear & healthinsurance industry and AIPAC

Just today, courtesy of the Rocky Mountain News, we confirmed that Barack aka Barry Soetoro Obama was a citizen of Kenya since 1963. Barack has yet to stipulate when he renounced or relinquished that citizenship. That will be a distracting issue in the upcoming campaign. Americans don't want to elect a Kenyan as President. It is that simple.

where to begin, ok. Barry was a nickname that people who know him as a kid still call him.
