Ever notice when Reconcilation is mentioned to Chris Matthews he almost goes balistic? What’s up with that? Is that his Corporatist Boss instruction? He almost says straight to Dem’s face “we will destroy you”. Media is for the P E O P L E? He is also very condescending to Howard Dean.

Weakness exudes from here lips and it is cringingly embarrassing to listen to her.

As you say, Ralph Nader is one of the great American heroes of the 20th century and his evaluation of the two main political parties is now vindicated. Time to talk to Ralph more. I have appologized to him for my rejection of him in 2000 and 2004 and I think many other fdlers should do the same. I heard Ralph on Tom Hartmann today, he’s ready roll.

Nah, Lt. Governor Lee Fisher and state secretary Jennifer Brunner are vying for the Democratic Party nomination — and either will gladly concede the election to their Republican counterpart because neither of them knows how to campaign or govern. Brunner did some work to reverse the trend of rigged elections in Ohio, but decided that leaving the job half finished was a good idea and is now leaving the door wide open for a GOPer to win and undo all of the few election reforms she did implement. Fisher is simply a weak candidate, which is probably why the Ohio Democratic Party establishment likes him; he gives them an excuse to say they tried to run a candidate, but voters prefer a Republican, and that will be their justification for moving even further to the political right.

I’ve already expressed my opinion about his penchant for running for president rather than some other ‘winnable’ office.

Indeed, you all seem to hate him because he told too much truth!–GDC707

Right. Sure. That must be it. I don’t “hate” Ralph Nader for “telling too much truth” or for any other reason. I’ve already expressed my opinion about his penchant for running for president rather than some other ‘winnable’ office. And I am well aware of his history and impressed by it, so you could have saved your high horse for someone who “hates him because he told too much truth”. That is, if you can find that person.

I agree. I feel more at peace than I have in a long time. Not at peace, but more at peace. There are a lot of signals out there that things are getting too bad to muddle along and people are getting mad enough to do something about it. People are waking up and corporations and politicians are still assuming that we are asleep and they can do things the old way. They are flushing themselves out so the people can take care of them while they are of a mind to. It’s not going to happen overnight, but I have more hope than ever that it’s going to happen. I could hug Obama for being so idiotic about the health care fight that it brought to the American eyes the disaster that is our current political system. Then after hugging him, I’d kick him in the groin for being so idiotic as to mess up health care.

How many of those bills were in the last 25 years?

maybe that says as much or more about the dems in the last 25 years than it does about nader. i think it probably does, because if i look at the the major legislative initiatives of the dems in the last 25 years, i see a fall off of good governance on their part.

in addition, it’s not exactly fair to compare a person’s productivity at age 76 vs 51 (nader is almost 76) and expect it to be the same. i think it’s pretty cool, he’s still working (did you see the book he’s just published?).

finally, that’s just an impressive list of lifetime accomplishment. as far as i can tell, the rhetoric of dem putdowns and demonozing is just not supported by the historical record.
