What world is Eric Alterman living in? He is passionate about keeping the system as it is, has contempt for people who think differently than himself, and yet thinks he is progressive. This man needs help.

A very unbiased film about Nader. I love it.

The fact is there are more Independent Voters then there are democrats or republicans. And a lot of them are Fiscally Conservative and liberal to Libertarian on Social Issues. And would be powerful if they formed they're own party.

In early summer 1992 Ross Perot was actually leading in the polls with Clinton in third place, but then he had to go and drop-out in July for 2 months.

We're all connected now - bypassing old-media press/TV power-centers.

Remember Ross Perot? If he'd been sane he might have actually pulled it off.

Americans who don't vote aren't stupid or lazy. They know it doesn't matter. Show 'em something they can care about and they'll vote.

2004's turnout was the highest in years - yet only 61% of eligible people voted. Bush's 62 million votes was just 31% of the total eligible vote.

78 million stayed home -- but they don't have to!

hey people, try to find information about ralph nader by searching ANY news website. who owns who? 

i'm tired of liberal against conservative. its ridiculus propaganda to say that americans are so divided.

common sense allows us to get along as families, no matter the political agenda, so why cant we do this as a country? we can, dont listen to big media. follow your heart this year and i bet nader can win.

Nader was right - does credibilitiy matter? An independent view is the most objective and therefore most credible view to have period - right jesse ventura?

Dems & the GOP want that 2.7%. The Dems and GOPs lose and win elections by 2.7%. Being a part of that 2.7% impacts the political process. Dems & the GOP will change, maybe only slightly, to attract not just that 2.7% but those amongst the 97.3% that agree with the 2.7%.
