13. the statement seems to me as moronic as its author
What is that supposed to mean? What's a political slave? Somebody who won't vote for an a$$hat like Nader?

A statement like "nothing really changes" is too hyperbolic to me. So if the Bush tax cuts expire and the tax system becomes a little bit more progressive, then has nothing changed? Nothing? Or nothing really?

Go back to the election that Nader was so determined to throw to George W. Bush. If Gore had been President from 2001 to now, would nothing have really changed? Maybe a million Iraqis would still be alive, but nothing would really have changed, right? NCLB, which is on your list, might not have been passed, but nothing would really change, right?

Of the ten things on your list, I would disagree with some of them, and not include others on my own list of ten. Number 2, for example, a four year college education for all. What is the point of that? Is that gonna be mandatory? We already have more college graduates than we have jobs that utilize a college degree. Three of the five janitors were I work have college degrees.

I am not sure this is the darkest time in our history. What I am sure is that Ralph mofo Nader definitely helped to make it darker. Because one step forward is not the same as two steps back and Ralph is just a whiny two year old throwing his juice cup on his older brother's novel on a 6000 mile road trip as he screams in a tantrum, 'are we there yet?' Way to help the forward progress Ralph.
