How has Nader "helped" over the past 3 years?
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 09:46 AM by wellstone_democrat
Seriously, with the Patriot Act, the careless march to war in Iraq and the tax cuts all creating a regressive government beyond anyone's wildest 2000 fears....where has Ralph Nader been? I haven't see him at the forfront of any dissent from this mob of theives at the top.

In fact, it seems that his major public profile has been to visit Grover Norquist and friends. I'm not in any way anti-Gree or anti-Nader as a default position, I just want one of Nader's fans to tell me as an American voter why I should see him as any sort of saviour for this country when he has not used his "celebrity" to move this country forward out of the Bushian nightmare.

What has he done to "help" since 2000 and why should anyone see him as a practical option in 2004?

on edit: clarify a sentence in para. 1

1. Good question. I'm not a fan of his at all so I won't defend him.
But it's a valid question you ask. I think he's fairly worthless at this point.

2. That man just doesn't get it, it's obvious
He's delusional, that MTP interview convinced me.
