You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I still have my 64 corvair!
ReplyDeleteI actually voted for Nader in 2000. I've met him twice in Philly and really admire him.
ReplyDeleteBut not as a presidential candidate.
ReplyDeleteas much as I joke about unsafe at any speed...he has saved tons of lives by advocating for safety measures on cars like seatbelts and padded dashes...see you tonight!
ReplyDeleteNader has done great work as an attorney and consumer advocate. Unfortunately, he may be a lunatic, and I am not the least bit suprised to see the Boonie voted for him in 2000.
ReplyDeleteRent the new-ish flik, "Ralph Nader: An Unreasonable Man" for a really great career review of Nader. As they say in the movie, if there were a Ralph Nader logo in the sky and on every seat belt and air bag to remind us of how many lives Nader and his Raiders have saved and how much cleaner our air is thanks to him, he might get the acknowledgment and respect he deserves. No one can (legally & figuratively) head-butt the big boys and fat cats and knock them on their asses better than Ralph Nader. He's one of the greatest Americans of all time-- unless you'd prefer to see consumers get screwed while corporations get rich doing it and then of course you won't like him ...
ReplyDeleteAnd for all the Eric Alterman asshole types out there. NADER NEVER cost Gore the election.
ReplyDeleteGov Jeb's last name was not NADER, Kathrine Harris was both the state attorny general and high ranking member for Bush Chaney Florida 2000, and the "regular citizens" who were protesting to "stop the count" one went on to head the Justice Department under Bush the other was propped up as UN ambassador.
I wish Eric Alterman would move his short naselly whiney ass out of America HE HAS DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE IN AMERICA PROMOTING BULLSHIT GOP TALKING POINTS!
YES I'm BACCCK
