Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader Protests Big Oil
2008-05-19 14:13:00 Ralph Nader and his team will be protesting oil industry speculation, manipulation, and conglomeration of our gas prices. You’ll see Mr. Nader and his team May 20, ’08 out at the American Petroleum Institute in Washington, D.C. Why? If you haven’t heard, it is not just Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain running for President. Ralph Nader is too. Nader’s campaign pledge in regard to the oil industry, “ In recent years, the big five oil companies - ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhillips, BP and Shell - have booked record profits - a big chunk of which result from oil industry market manipulation and anti-competitive practices. (For example, oil companies have exploited their market position to intentionally restrict refining capacity by driving smaller, independent refiners out of business.) Nader/Gonzalez would strictly regulate the oil industry - clamping down on speculators and enforcing the antitrust laws. Nader/Gonzalez would also revo...

Motorcycle Helmet Laws - Ralph Nader or Sonny Barger
2008-05-15 15:00:00 J ust as Rock Hudson’s death brought the AIDS epidemic to the forefront of American consciousness, Ben Roethlisberger’s motorcycle accident without a helmet has brought brain buckets back into the pop topic tent. Big Ben’s record contract with The Steelers this past year has made it hardly arguable that for him at least, getting into a motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet was an excellent career move. The subject is of particular relevance where I live in New Hampshire, as we are one of four states that have no helmet law. When speaking of motorcycle helmets, New Hampshire’s Nathan Hale paraphrase motto of “Live Free or Die” says it all, though to substitute one conjunction for another, “Live Free and Die” might be more appropriate. Bike Week, as it is called, the New Hampshire Lakes Region’s annual celebration of motorcycle culture, recorded its bloodiest season in 2006. Three died the previous year ...
Ralph Nader blasts the NHTSA for rollover safety standards
2008-05-10 06:13:00 Ralph Nader blasts the NHTSA for rollover safety standards Presidential hopefuls Sens. John McCain and Hillary Clinton may be focusing on a 'gas-tax holiday', but another presidential candidate — Ralph Nader — is eying a reform of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nader feels the NHTSA has gotten too close with the automakers and calls it nothing more than a "consulting firm" for car makers. Nader's latest gripe with the NHTSA involves roof strength standards. The NHTSA is considering a new standard that would replace the one that has been in place for the last 37 years. However, Nader feels that even the new standard won't be enough to protect occupants involved in a rollover crash. Automakers have largely sided with the NHTSA, stating rollover crashes are difficult to accurately replicate and that roof collapse is rarely the cause of death, according to Automotive News. Adding stronger roof supports would also increas...
Ralph Nader has a great idea - Tax Payer Appreciation Day
2008-04-13 23:46:00 Nader has a great idea here: From Ralph Nader……. “April 15 is around the corner. Could the corporate executives of this country please stand up and show a little appreciation? To the taxpayers who subsidize them? And bail them out? How about the $30 billion bailout of reckless Bear Stearns as the most recent and egregious example? I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that April 15th of each year be designated Taxpayer Appreciation Day, a day when corporations receiving taxpayer subsidies, bailouts, handouts and other forms of corporate welfare can express their thanks to the citizens who provide them. Taxpayer dollars have often funded discoveries made by NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies. In many instances the rights to those discoveries were later given away to companies that brag about them as though they were the fruits of their own investments. Taxpayer dollars have played a majo...

Team Nader Calls Out Liberals for Supporting Democrats

The Nader effect?
2008-03-17 19:47:00 Zogby Poll: McCain Bests Both Obama, Clinton in 3-Way General Election Tests The introduction of long-time activist Ralph Nader into the mix is having an effect on the race, as he wins enough support to make a difference, the poll shows. Nader entered the race recently, charging that there is little difference between the Republican and Democratic parties and their presidential candidates. Using the same argument eight years ago, his presence on the ballot in Florida may well have tipped the presidential election away from Democrat Al Gore and in favor of George W. Bush. His run four years ago yielded less dramatic results, but the political atmosphere has changed since 2004, and may be more favorable for him again, the Zogby survey shows. FYI - Zogby poll from Febuary shows Obama with a comfortable 7 point lead. Not sure how much of this turnaround is in fact caused by Nader or just the changing of the situation. I am not sure right now whether to include polls with Nader as part...

Awake from your slumber?, available on youtube and a growing number of sites. The posting notes on youtube suggest that the video was posted by the Ralph Nader team. This seems increasingly to be an integral part of U.S. politics, no doubt in part because of the phenomenal success of will-i.am's Barack Obama video ?Yes we can? which has been downloaded over 6 million times and links the Obama campaign with a who's who of cultural literati.

Ralph Nader, Please Don't Run
2008-03-06 22:25:00 by Jerome Grossman Ralph Nader told Tim Russert of NBC on "Meet the Press" that he was running again for President of the United States. Why is he running? Certainly not to win or even to influence the result. Nader runs because he wants to talk about issues, to educate the voters about the problems the United States faces, problems that are virtually ignored in contemporary politics. He wants to talk about a single-payer health plan, "full Medicare for all," about a national commitment to abolish poverty, about corporate crime, the bloated military budget, and the waste, fraud and corruption in government operations. Nader has a track record for progressive change he has brought to American society: seat belts and air bags and safer automobiles; battles against tainted meat, air and water pollution and food additives; initiating and building agencies that protect the worker, the environment, and the consumer. And lots more over the last fifty years. In fact, ...

How Ralph Nader Could Get My Vote
2008-03-03 15:45:00 If the House that is controlled by the Democrats gives in to Bush on the FISA bill and grants immunity to the telecoms I will be forced to agree with Ralph Nader that there is no difference between the parties. Now congress has been willing to pass the "Protect America Act" without telecom immunity but the Bush White House will not sign it without. Kevin Drum has observed that the telecoms themselves are not pushing for immunity or to be exact one of his readers and that reader thinks he knows why. A couple of days ago I got an email from commenter/blogger bmaz proposing an explanation for this. To be honest, I sort of blew him off at first without reading his argument carefully, which I now think was a mistake. There's some guesswork in what he says, but he's an attorney with considerable experience dealing with wiretapping cases and he suggests that the reason the telcos don't care all that much about the lawsuits being pursued against them is because they almost certainly sign...
Throw Your Vote Away on Bullshattuck.com and Nader, Please
2008-03-03 14:00:00 Don't be mad. But I've decided to pull a Ralph Nader and enter a contest which has already been going on for some time, and whose prize I don't deserve. Unlike Nader however, you don't owe your seatbelt to me. Oh, and I'm not asexual. I've decided to enter my blog, Bullshattuck.com, in Salt Lake City Weekly's Best of Utah 2008. Last year I somehow won second place for "Utah's best blog," and after a lot of sleepless nights in deciding whether to enter again this year, I came to two conclusions. One, I WILL enter again this year after all. Two, I need to buy more Ambien. Thus I am officially kicking off my campaign for Salt Lake City Weekly's Best of Utah 2008. I realize that you may ask yourself "But isn't it 'wrong' or 'cheating like' to campaign for a contest which is simply meant to judge excellence in the state of Utah?" You would be correct. But that is also why you and I are no longer dating - because you never learned to keep your damn mouth shut. So yes, ...
God Bless Ralph Nader
2008-03-01 15:22:00 by Joel S. Hirschhorn Because he wants to salvage American democracy and help Americans, Ralph Nader is running for president again. He deserves the support of all Americans that see themselves as progressives, dissidents, independents, and patriots who want to remove the stranglehold of the two-party plutocracy on our political system. When it comes to being an honest, proven and trustworthy change agent, Nader is the gold standard. So why are so many Democrats going ballistic and spewing hate towards Nader? They are in denial about both Obama and Clinton. Both owe much to the corporate and business world that Nader has waged war against for decades. Like Clinton, Obama has taken huge amounts of money from several business sectors. Both refuse to advocate a single payer universal health care system that Nader champions; this protects the enormously profitable health insurance industry. They are crazy-glued to their misplaced blame of Nader for t...

Democrats Continue to Choose Nader over Election Integrity
2008-02-28 06:42:00 Oh no, that evil consumer advocate Ralph Nader just entered the Presidential race! You know who he is....the only politician in America that's running because of his or her ego because we all know Obama, McCain, and even Hillary Clinton don't have an ego...Time for a snap back into reality Democrats.First let's debunk the myth that Democrats have been perpetuating since 2000 that Nader "spoiled" the 2000 election for Al Gore and "handed" it to George W. Bush. It's simple and it goes like this...Every American citizen has the right to run for President, and no candidate is ever entitled to your vote. So the question remains... Why did 97,000 voters in Florida decide to vote for Nader? We don't know, but I can probably bank on the fact that they agreed with Nader more than Gore or Bush. So now that we've established that fact we can also establish that the Democrats were advocating for voters to vote AGAINST their principles. Some Democrats even blame Nader for every bad thi...

Ralph Nader: End Game for Clinton
2008-02-27 17:18:00 While I was sitting at the Stewart-Newburgh terminal last Monday morning, I saw on the television that Ralph Nader has once again thrown his hat into the presidential ring. At first I thought of it as another Quixotic campaign by this consumer advocate the 70s forgot, but then I got to thinking about the 2000 election, and how some accused Nader of siphoning enough votes off of Gore to sway the election (even though the statistics never backed up this claim). In 2004, Nader's presidential campaign had lost a lot of tractions because of this perception.But today, would anyone support Nader for president. I mean, isn't the guy a modern day Pat Paulsen? Not if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Party nomination for president. Even if Clinton carries both Ohio and Texas this Tuesday and then later gets Pennsylvania, she will not gain enough of a margin of victory to make a difference between hers and Barack Obama's delegate count. Since the Democratic party splits their delegates ...

His withdrawal left us without a candidate and with only our principles to guide us. Naders platform represents the only dissident challenge to the corporate clones of "change," Obama and Clinton. The kind of "change" Obama represents is corporate Americas newest "branding" of its "New Automobile"; its newest chain restaurant in town; a "new" way to keep your skin ageless, your hair vibrant; the fastest and easiest way to lose weight without dieting or exercising. This mixture of shoddy consumer ...

The Last Run of Ralph Nader
2008-02-24 23:39:00 Consumer advocate and perennial presidential hopeful Ralph Nader has again decided to launch a presidential campaign. Apparently the phrase "snowball's chance" is not in his lexicon.From the WaPo: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, blamed by many Democrats for their loss of the White House in the 2000 election, said on Sunday he is launching another independent campaign for the White House. Nader, who will turn 74 this week, announced his longshot presidential bid on NBC's "Meet the Press" saying that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans were addressing problems facing Americans. Nader called Washington "corporate occupied territory" that turns the government against the interests of the people. "In that context, I have decided to run for president," he said. Democrats said they do not expect Nader, who also ran as an independent in 2004, to have much of an impact. Given the fact that Nader is considered a spoiler by many, has used money from GOP suppo...
