1. Nader has done nothing since his Corvair campaign...
...why can't Nader run for mayor or some other office, so he can show people he can actually lead?

Talk about no experience.

Come on Nader, prove that you can convince others to elect you.

3. I am in the minority here on this
America deserves socialism. We deserve a choice. And we deserve more then corporate bidding candidates. We should be allowed a choice.
Actually, we don't deserve any of that. We deserve the 'safety' we got from removing Saddam. We deserve government rule for, and by the corporations.

Like Nader said in 2004, the best way to beat Bush is to vote for Kerry. The best way to get change is to vote for Nader.

Someday we will get change. Not this year, or next. But someday we shall overcome

6. Someday?
Why not today?

Why can't Nader get elected anywhere? By any population (city, county, etc)?

Nader has not proven himself able to lead.

He talks a good game, but has done little to support his own cause with action.

Come on Nader, participate in this democracy you claim to love so much.

5. And the "drug war" is about MUCH more than drugs. Privatized prisons, the war on terror...

7. Drug War?
So, it's the Drug War that is Nader's cause du jour. He really, really cares about who is arrested and convicted and sent to jail.

Okay, what is Nader's stance on who gets placed on the Supreme Court? Does he know how that works? How about all that talk about forcing the U.S. Attorneys out? What is his stance on those issues?

Or does Ralph just talk issues that his focus groups says polls well with the former Paultards?


If Nader really supports a democracy, then he better start participating in it.
