One of the best parts of Moyers' speech @ 40th anniversary celebration of Nader's Public Citizen

[tk2kewl]

Moyers quoted this from Time Magazine (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,996000,00.html) on our money corrupted government.

...you pick up a disproportionate share of America's tax bill. You pay higher prices for a broad range of products from peanuts to prescriptions. You pay taxes that others in a similar situation have been excused from paying. You're compelled to abide by laws while others are granted immunity from them. You must pay debts that you incur while others do not. You're barred from writing off on your tax returns some of the money spent on necessities while others deduct the cost of their entertainment. You must run your business by one set of rules, while the government creates another set for your competitors... In contrast the fortunate few who contribute to the right politicians and hire the right lobbyists enjoy all the benefits of their special status. Make a bad business deal; the government bails them out. If they want to hire workers at below market wages, the government provides the means to do so. If they want more time to pay their debts, the government gives them an extension. If they want immunity from certain laws, the government gives it. If they want to ignore rules their competition must comply with, the government gives it approval. If they want to kill legislation that is intended for the public, it gets killed.

1. Public Citizen has done a lot to good work

but I can't find Ralph Nader's name on their homepage of their website.

2. Don't worry.

People that know, know that Ralph Nader has done more for the 'public citizen' than anybody else in your country.

People that DON'T know, think he enabled GWB.

3. Nader

4. and, if you'll notice, actually promoting and enacting Bush's policies is A-OK with them

either they've dissolved their ego and personality into the party, or they're happy with anyone who's half a step better than the GOPer: if Bush ran for Senate as a Dem, they'd figure, oh, he's better than Cornyn! go Bush!
