ralph nader

who is will durst and why isn't he funny and why is everyone bashing ralph nader? are they dumb? did eddie vedder lose his mind? is stephanie miller and thom hartmann suddenly delirious. did susan sarandon and tim robbins accidentally flip on the stupid switch?

as much as i like dennis kucinich, he is no ralph nader. his illustrious record hardly holds a candle to ralph nader's. perhaps this is the greatest testament to how low our expectations have fallen within the realm of politics.

what happened in 2000 was unfortunate but face facts, ralph nader is a much better candidate for president than al gore. nader has a long and storied history of standing up for the american people, (and by domino effect the people of the world.)

so it seems we have come to have two sets of preferences: one might be our preferred candidate then two would be our preferred candidate of those we consider electable. isn't that sort of pathetic? and isn't this what ralph nader represents and why he is still a candidate? his candidacy is like a finger wagging in our faces to remind us of just how low are expectations have gone.

hillary clinton and barack obama are light years better candidates than the lying warmongers who would mutilate the constitution on the republican side but they are just alike in terms of policy. their health care plans both suck. neither has suggested a single payor system. hillary clinton kowtows to the fearmongerson the right and barack obama refused to vote in favor of a billl that would cap credit card interest at 30% interest. so if you're wealthy or a trial lawyer, perhaps the mainstream candidates really are for you. but otherwise, if you're of the people, ralph nader is far and away better for you, (and me.)

i have recently heard many people i respect immensely come out against ralph nader as if he owes it to us not to run. every single one of these people can choose not to vote for him and they can also choose to shut their fat traps. so far they only seem to be choosing the former.

i was discussing the ralph nader documentary; ralph nader:an unreasonable man, with a friend recently, and she said after watching the movie she found ralph adorably unreasonable. i could hardly give him a better endorsement.
