Reply #67: He has earned his place there rightfully with the qualifications provided

They said they weren't sure about the conservative part but they were sure he is an idiot. I am well aware of Ralph's work as a consumer advocate. I am well aware of the issues he has with our current Washington culture and agree fundamentally with some of them.

That said, when somebody risks the common good to prove a point, they are a selfish, narcissistic idiot as is referenced by his suggestion in '00 that it needs to get worse to get better. It is easy for him to say. He isn't as destitute as some of the people for whom he claims to advocate. He also doesn't have a great track record as a gainful employer himself. Reform begins in your own business and dealings with employees.

There is a litany of things that Nader has said and done in recent years that make him more of an enemy to what he claims to stand for than an advocate and the specific lies listed in the article are valid.

Therefore, I fully concur with his rightful place at the top of this week's list and it was sufficient to warrant TWO SEATS.

Good work DU :toast:
