1. He crawled into a hole in November last year
and is too ashamed for what he's done to come out.

4. I doubt that somehow.
Not that he's crawled into a hole, but that he has any sense of shame left.

I used to respect him. But it seems something happened to him. Senility?

He helped those fuckers out in a BIG way.

30. Yow right - because he "has done more in the
interest of the American people ... blah, blah, blah" I did not buy the Corvair I really wanted in the mid-60s. By 1972 his Corvair claims were debunked and I was still driving a Studebaker Lark.

26. No, the nerve will be on the part of any 'progressives' who support him
again, after (in addition to everything else) he openly let spoiler-minded Right-Wing Republicans run some of his state campaigns in '04.

23. Why should he? He isn't in Congress.
It's Congress that needs to do this. It's Congress that needs to hold full court press, condemning and demanding answers.

Then they need to move immediately and expeditiously to commence and conduct joint investigative hearings, putting aside ALL other matters and exclusively deal with this- getting to the damn bottom of it and moving on to the next step.

Ralph Nader isn't a member of Congress. But I tell ya what. I suspect that if Congress doesn't act expeditiously to do what i outline above - we'll be hearing from Ralph Nader - to correctly condemn BOTH the White House AND Congress.

Gore, Carter, B. Clinton and Green Party all had came out and condemned Bush.

25. Ralph who?

Screw that shithead. He's demolished his entire legacy for the sake of his ego; Karmic justice would have him unknown and waiting tables at Applebee's.

36. NOT GETTING COVERED BY THE LIB'RUL MEDIA, OF COURSE!
all the ralph-bashers need to get a life. . he's still here, just as he has been for decades. It's just that he's been ignored for contradicting the corporate nature of the reagan/ Bush/clinton/bush administrations

He choose, to really make a cash killing instead. Too bad, because a lot of really good people belived in him.

38. He took 85% fewer votes in 2004 than 2000. I think he
realizes that, when push comes to shove, most of his supporters see a big difference between democrats and republicans. No difference between Gore and Bush, eh? Pfft.
