25. I realize that Nader is an excellent consumer advocate so why doesn't he
shut the fuck up and advocate for health care instead of twiddling his thumbs and gleefuly saying, 'I told you so." What good is he really? He gets nothing done. He has changed nothing other than he may have had an effect on the Gore / Bush election and he was proud of that. Maybe Gore wasn't a great campaigner. Maybe he didn't have charisma but he was a hell of a better candidate than Bush. He should have fought back but maybe he was tired of the nastiness of it all.

Nader ought to go back to writing books about consumer advocacy and get out of politics. Does he really think that if HE was in Washington, he would fix everything and get Congress to go along with it? Give me a break. Nothing gets done if they don't work together and he would be a lone wolf. Maybe he would even like the Bush way of abusing executive privilege. The point is, who the f*ck cares about what Ralph Nader says any more?
