I Talked With Nader in '69 - He used to be about something...

He was a consumer advocate during the Vietnam War (warning about risking death if you drove a Chevy Corvair). I asked him about the greatest threat to life at the time -- the Vietnam War. He gave me a pathetic answer that left the clear impression that he wasn't capable of a world view.

Now he's addicted to his own idea of self-importance after effecting the last two elections.

The man is a clueless tool of ignorance.

I think he is on par with other fundamentalists - the ego in control of a very narrow vision.

4. It wasn't his legacy...
It was his decisions. He may have been bought -- and/or intimidated.

6. He maintains a tiny following of worshippers eager to stroke his ego.
That's all he lives for.

7. Look out...
The "there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans" crowd are once again rearing their ugly head in the wake of the Alito confirmation.
