1. Ya know, I like Ralph. 30- 40 years ago I would watch

him talking to Congress. He was always on top of consumer issues.

2. P*ss on Nadir. n/t

3. Nader can fuck off and die.

HE is the reason Bush was selected and turned this country into a fascist state. Fuck him.

4. It started with Nixon.

Reagan made it mainstream and * modernized it.

The ball was rolling waaaaay before Nader.

8. Zoe is wrong.

The reason Bush was Selected President was because the vote counting was from one selected county instead of the entire state. If the recount was spread out through the entire state the brooks brothers riot would have never happened, the vote count would have went on without intimidation, and the heavily stacked Supreme court would have been left out of the loop. You just want somebody to blame, and Nader is convenient. When the whole thing was a forgone conclusion. Grow up Democracy is dead get used to it.
Voting is an exercise in futility just keep exercising.

5. Never ceases to amaze me...

...how so many people have demonized this pillar of western civilization. In their defense, it speaks to the power of the industrial ruling class, that they can turn their arch enemy into a pariah to his own constituency.

One need only watch the first minute or two where Amy goes through Nader's legacy of social action since the '60's. If, after that, you still think that Nader's worst moment was proving that there is little difference between the Dems and the Repub's, you haven't been paying attention.

I Told You So

Indeed!

6. Ralph Nader singlehandedly led the way in insuring a two party system forever. Thank you Ralphie.

I thank Ralph Nader for singlehandedly NEVER again allowing a 3rd party to be relevant
of that I truly bless him.

I triple dog dare you to run again.

I was thinking of going to his hardly anyone there book signing and heckling him as heckling seems to be so popular these day,
but I would have congratulated him on making sure never again will a 3rd party run be politically relevant



Ralphie achieved 100% of what he dreamed of in 2000. Must have, being that he still insists he would do it again.

7. STFU Ralph.

STFU and go away. You've done enough damage.

9. Nader himself is a fascist.
