I'm a bit concerned for Ralph Nadar. He seems stuck, in a timeless vortice...
in which he has, apparently, become immobilized and cannot escape. He keeps repeating over & over many things regarding corporate America, that many people already know in no small measure in that he has already spoken about them previously himself.

Does he not have anyone in his life, that is able to suggest to him, that alternate courses may be in order; other than to pop up like a jack-in-the-box at the end of a tinky little song long after many, many others have done much of the heavy lifting?

Why is he doing this? Who is he really working for?

1. Has he been insignificant? If he has he should go away, otherwise he is as relevant as Kucinich.

2. He certainly in insignificant, IMHO...
And at least DK is in office and trying to make a difference ...

That's more than you can say about Nader...

3. I think it's kind of funny...
I mean, If McCain is too old... What does that make Nader? He'll be 74 this week.

4. Good observation
It seems he has no one who can be honest with him.

If Nader was serious about corporate influence in government, you'd think he would use his legal knowledge to get elected at some level where he could do something on a local level.

Apparently, Mr. Ralph has so much confidence in his own abilities, he doesn't run where he might really be scrutinized.

He has become a sad shell of himself.

5. Why are you concerned for NadEr? He's running so he gets himself a nice
vacation...a little time in sunny Florida, a nice trip through the heartland, a jaunt out to the West Coast, back to the East Coast...and all on our dime if he can con some fools into giving him money.

He is a HUBRIS-LADEN asshole. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Playing the scold, and the spoiler.

And he'll take money from the same crowd that gave him money the last time--Republicans. And he'll laugh at you and me and everyone else, while he's wagging his finger and telling us that there's no difference between THIS election's versions of George Bush and Al Gore.

:puke:

8. "Who is he really working for?".... didn't he accept campaign contribution
from the GOP last time? That is who he is working for...even if he doesn't know it.
