6. Dispite his nagging, Nader was a tremendous watchdog for consumers in his youth

and taught us the dangers of a third party. He warned us about Corporate takeover. I do not blame him for Gore's defeat. Gore won. It was the Supremes and Bill and Jeb who screwed the pooch. Ralph Nader has always been a worker for the people and should have worn those boots, but tried to wear the presidential robe and had every right to.

Nader is the reason why Bernie didnt go Indy. With the growth of the internet, Bernie really didnt need the Party to run- they did nothing for him, but to go 3rd party, he would be ahead , and would have crushed both partys. He has always stood for and sided with the Democrats. This year, both Partys have dealt themselves a fatal blow, their reign is over.

I have listened to Amy Goodmans show lately, better late than never, mainly because how MSNBC turned on us, and Nader has better sight than I thought. I have not heard him in 25 yrs and find his insight refreshing. As always, he is a tool against Corporations where he belongs.
