If Obama nominated Ralph Nader for Consumer Bureau Chief

[Ichingcarpenter]

or even Robert Kennedy Jr. then I would really believe in the change I can believe in.

I always wanted Nader to head up the Consumer Protection Agency back in the old days....I know an't gonna happen.

There was talk about Bobby jr having a place in 2008


Hey I can dream can't I?

1. Kennedy yes. Nader NEVER.

[TheWraith]

2. Yes. This.

If we appoint Nader to anything, it should be Ambassador to Iraq. AFTER we remove the rest of our troops.

Don't worry you won't see anyone

who is a real consumer advocate nominated I'm willing to bet.
It will be a Consensus Candidate that has worked with the
industries and had some 'so called' positive dealing with consumers.
But will be a very watered down version of Elizabeth that will appease the republicans.

I would even take 'a' Eliot Spitzer but that an't gonna happen either. He did a lot exposing the malfeasance but his libido got into the way... Maybe he was hacked too?

Anyway, I will wait and see

10. Why not Nader?

You don't want a strong consumer advocate on the CPA?

4. Unfortunately, Alan Simpson has a better chance.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Or someone like him

I fear.

[malaise]

5. I thank Nader for seat belts

over and over

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. I meant to say 'a' Nader type but Ralph has

Since 1966, Nader has been responsible for: at least eight major federal consumer protection laws such as

the motor vehicle safety laws,
Safe Drinking Water Act;

the launching of federal regulatory agencies such as

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environment Protection Agency (EPA),
and Consumer Product Safety Administration;

the recall of millions of defective motor vehicles; access to government through the Freedom of Information Act of 1974; and for many lives saved.

As a consumer advocate you got to give him credit
as a presidential contender not so much, but he's normally right
about the abuses of corporations.

[Cereal Kyller]

6. Kennedy? Absolutely.

Nader? :rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. You an't gonna see Kennedy nominated either

You missed my point.

[mmonk]

11. Unfortunately, those most suited are seldom nominated

when corporations dominate political discourse.

[OHdem10]

12. Wall St and Cof C blocked Warren. Do you think for a moment

they would even entertain the idea of Nader.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. Somebody's head here would explode.
