    More like, if bush wasn’t a neocon scum whose father talked about the nwo all the time and attended skull and bones and wasn’t a republican/democrat and we had legitimate voting…THEN we wouldn’t be in iraq

    Looks like we’re getting the “lesser of 2 evils” Obama mor than likely to win it now.
    So now we need to pull Obama more towards the left – take on some of our major issues (doubt that we can do anything about the less-sorporate issue…) but at least it’s a little change in the right direction for America…too little (maybe over time it will prove to be a good thing).

    Great Book Ralph! …
    Great Book Ralph! Timeless lessons for generations of your future Raiders.
    Thanks for Running, thanks for giving us a choice, a voice and a meaning to our vote.

    p.s
    Keep running – in 2012 and 2016 (you need to at least tie Eugene Debbs…)
    Wish you health,
    Kold.

    Nader in Arabic means “rare” or “precious” He is truly a rare man. I only wish our civic institutions were composed more of people like him instead of these crooks we currently have.

    I am also voting …
    I am also voting for him, and for the same reasons. I hope that soon the voters will tire of the game and realize that no matter how strong a mandate we send either corporate party, at the end of the day, they cannot represent our interests because the corporations are anti-worker, anti-environment, and anti-constitution…no matter how green-washed they are or how many hours of public TV they underwrite.

  17. Beadbud5000 says:

    I completely agree. …
    I completely agree. But I am still voting for Nader and I will tell you why. I have no illusions as to what a vote for Nader means. For me, it is the only way that I personally can let Washington know that there are numbers of Americas that no longer buy into their bipartisen rhetoric. The Constitution of the USA is NOT to be trampled on and seen as an ‘out dated piece of paper’. Chomsky may be correct on his swing state commentary, but it is a chance I am willing to take. It’s time to get BUSY!

  18. hollywoodartchick says:

    I agree. But every …
    I agree. But every time I am at a Nader rally, someone stands up who wants him to be Messiahnic, and he won’t play that game. They get frustrated that he won’t claim he can solve all their problems single-handedly. He tells them what kind of activism they can try for a problem, but they are not used to being active citizens. Although votes say they hate unrealistic promises, I think that is EXACTLY what they want to hear.

  19. Beadbud5000 says:

    Being active in the …
    Being active in the community is what it is ultimately about.

  20. Kold2market says:

    NADER is the REAL …
    NADER is the REAL DEAL! A True Thomas Jefferson of our times.
    He would not have to run, if we only had candidates who address the issues and fight for the people of this country. Unfortunately. we have 2 candidate of the same corporate ruling power elite….so NADER feels obligated (As a patriot) to represent the majority and be our voice.
    VOTE NADER/Gonzalez 2008

    Nader would’ve been an amazing parent. His parents can be proud of the inspiring child they raised.

    Nader’s family traditions sound nicer than mine, which involve the circus. He is very inspiring.
