Matt Gonzalez-Barack Obama, The Establishment's Candidate

http://votenader.org Matt Gonzalez, Ralph Nader's VP running mate talks about Senator Barack Obama's history of voting for tax breaks, the Class Action Reform Act, and how the ruling class is satisfied with Obama as a candidate, because Obama has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to defend their interests. Gonzalez speaks a Q&A after his speech, "The Democratic Party's Complicity in the War" at "The Costs of War" forum at UC Berkeley April 22, 2008

Matt Gonzalez concludes by saying, "Obama is such a supporter of the establishment, I can't take him seriously as a candidate of change."

Gonzales has never done anything meaningful in his time in San Francisco. He is borderline anarchist. Simply saying corporations are bad is not enough for me.

You don't like one of the highest minimum wages in the country? Instant run-off voting?

BTW it's GonzaleZ. You're probably confusing Matt with someone else! ;)

I have decided to vote for Nader Gonzalez. I just sent Nader $1,000. I would rather vote for someone who openly calls for a total withdrawal from Iraq. I just wish he would come out for Decriminalization of Heroin, since the junkies & dealers send $1 billion to the Afghan war lords. If we take the profit out of the Heroin sales, growing poppies will stop.

People are so desperate for hope, and brainwashed that voting third party is "throwing away" their vote, that they are flocking to Obama simply because he preaches progress.

Unfortunately as Gonzalez eloquently outlined, the record shows that Obama is just another establishment Democrat.

And to think the Republicans used to be the purported anti-establishment, "small government" party. They're now the equivalent of establishment Democrats plus hateful fundamentalist Christian social policies.

Matt Gonzalez for 2012 !!

Our Hero Ralph Nader might be getting a little old to run again, but if Ralph is in good health, I am looking forward to voting for the Nader/Gonzalez ticket in 2012 and will make sure MANY people follow my lead.

EVERY U.S President will protect the interest of the ruling class, anyone who comes close to wanting to create any type of REAL revolution will be shot dead faster than you can say 'look out!'

I voted Camejo over Cruz in the California in the governor race. Fuck Bill Richardson. How's that?

IN the USA the gov. sees Hispanics as white. They are consider in the same group. But for some reason it seems like they dont want to acklodge them and give them the respect they deserve that is WAAAY long over due. I mean did u support Peter Camejo, Crus Bustamante, Abel Maldonado, Rocky Dlegadillo and now Bill Ricahrdson. I was extremely dissapointe with Delgadillo and Richardson when they endorse Obama for the Democrats when we clearly had way better canidates; Kucinich, Paul, Nader Gonzales

[nportillo73]

Of course I know that. I'm talkin' about on this level.

Hispanics have always been involved in politics. Use the net and do a lil bit of research and u will see. Hispanics go way, way back portillo73.
