Ralph Nader's presidential bid is more than "spoiler" politics. He is democracy in action.

  • Nader didnt spoil anything gore won the popular vote and the electoral vote but the republican supreme court took it away from him .

  • agreed

  • Go Nader!!!!!

    I love Ralph . I wish the world would just take the time to see what a amazing advocate he is for them and their rights.

  • As long as the debate commission is owned and run by the two major parties and corporate interests, Nader, Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr and other third party candidates do not stand a chance of getting enough votes to participate in the debates. If they could debate, we'd have a Nader or McKinney for pres.

  • Thank you so much for this video. I'm a current Nader Raider I have fought hard to get him ballot access in a couple states this year. I hate this idea that a vote for Nader, a vote for this simmering idea of putting _people_ not money back into politics is considered a waste of a vote. Its things like this that reminds of why I'm out here fighting this fight in the first place. Because I have too. Because few people will and America needs me too... For reason number 1: democracy.

  • Sea, thanks for your post, and thanks, too, for your work for Nader and democratic change. In a democracy, a vote cannot be "stolen" by any legitimate candidate who campaigns and wins support from followers. The real vote stealers are the ones who portray themselves as for the people, then support corporate interests. I mean Obama and McCain! Eventually, though, the Naders, Kuciniches, McKinneys will prevail. The people haven't yet learned.

    peace

  • I like Mr. Nader. I met him, he actually came to Kentucky to campaign in '04, and I really liked the guy. My friend had me use a camera phone to take his picture standing next to Nader, and he said something I will never forget. "I hate these things." No bull, no ass kissing, just "I hate these things." It cracks me up still. And I'll easily take him over any green. They will never have a major presence here, and I doubt anyone around here can stomach them. Nader is human enough to back.

  • Nader's tragic flaw, his (well-hidden) inflated ego, at the last minute showed its true colors. His blind determination to demonstrate his total commitment to a cause, come what may, made him unable to see or admit or act in regard to the actual effect of his campaign - the election of George Bush. He is not worthy to be anyone's hero any longer. Nader's shadow is an autocratic dictator, and he was completely engulfed by it. A pathetic, potentially great man who ruined himself on the dark side.

  • At least someone knows what their talking about! If Obama ran as a third-party candidate, would he be held responsible for messing up the Democrats? Of course not, he's Overlord Obama!

  • Beautifully put! People need to know the truth. Ignorance is not bliss, especially when it comes to presidential candidates. Nader will stand up for ALL the people! He is going to fight for the welfare of the people beyond any other candidate. The power is in all of our hands to change the world. I urge anyone who wants that change to vote for Nader. He is our only hope and the only candidate deserving the title of President. President Ralph Nader has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

  • Thank you for your message.

    It is indeed a collective societal perversity how mainstream citizenry just passively allow the govt. to run things, yet at the same time,feel the liberty to harshly judge their governmental leaders..... when expecting a certain change.

  • Excellent Video, I could not have said it better.

    Vote for change

    Vote Nader 2008!

  • NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

    Democrat/Republican partY = THEY the CORPORATION$

    > The two headed Democrat/Republican monster is not

    to be trusted as they've proven over and over!

    > NO more PAY-or-DIE Healthcare $ystem!

    We Want Single-Payer like Canada!

    > "Spoiler" is a politically bigoted word used by the opposing parties to keep the independents out of the race.

    You'd be Played-A-Fool supporting the RepubliCrat$ again!

  • Yup.
