One "oh crap" cancels out 5 "atta boys," and one OHMYFREAKINGAWD can cancel out all the good you've done. Would it had been so hard for him to campaign FOR Gore, for example? His efforts since 2000 seem to slant toward helping the Greater Evil.

Also, I like the Corvair!

Ralph Nader: A man with great ideas, but no viability. Jamaal510 Sep 2012 #13

You do realize he didn't do ALL those things, right? Honeycombe8 Sep 2012 #14

Yeah, too bad he took the wrong direction starting around 2000. pnwmom Sep 2012 #16

Yeah he has done some good and the people blaming him for 2000 should look at the Democratic Party. white_wolf Sep 2012 #20

You wouldn't be one of those who sneer at the list of the President's accomplishments? treestar Sep 2012 #22

You are right. MLK had little to do with getting the Civil Rights Act passed. Luminous Animal Sep 2012 #26
