9/16/08:

"Eight years ago, consumer advocate Ralph Nader correctly predicted that the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) were on track to follow the savings and loan industry of the 1980s and 90s into a big financial heap of trouble. Nobody listened, and taxpayers are now at risk of losing tens of billions of dollars. Wall Street is being shaken to its foundation. American International Group Inc., the biggest U.S. insurer by assets, is now teetering on the brink of ruin after suffering losses of $18 billion in the past three quarters, largely due to its sub prime mortgage exposure."

Listen to his message from 9 years ago...

The issues have not changed.

His predictions came true.

What's next for America, Ralph? You've been largely accurate -- one of the only political candidates who can claim that.

A vote for McBama is a vote for FISA, continuing the wars, invading other countries, wasted government spending, not upholding the constitution, and continuation of the undemocratic election laws that are biased against non-Republicrats.

Third Parties/Independents are talking about uniting on key issues! Paul, Nader, McKinney, Barr, Baldwin

Jello is a great activist in his own way, but he is not and should not be a politician. But yes, I respect his work and I like Dead Kennedys a lot.

[DANxCHORIN]

Yeah, I imagine Nader would be better at representing the interests of the American people than Jello. Not to say that he isn't awesome though.

[evelau]

Jello was going for the Green Party nomination as well but then decided to support Nader. (Wise choice.)
