I have been listening to a number of interviews with Ralph Nader and TBH I haven't heard all that much that I disagree with. He seems like an astute man with a firm grasp on all of the issues that matter, which is pretty unusual for a politician. He obviously thinks outside the box and doesn't bow to the elite controlled mainstream media nor suck up to the two less than democratic main parties.

Here is Nader speaking on election evening and even then he had it all figured out about Obama. I wasn't so clued in and wasmuch more optimistic about Obama, but it's only in the last couple of years that I have been seriously honing in on US politics.







And here he is dealing with the most obnoxious little toad of a presenter I have ever seen. Okay, Nader could have made use of more PC language, but his point was clear and he explained all his others points well too. Of course, the mainstream media didn't want to talk about the issues that matter. It's a little like the Helen Thomas dismissal. She's a credible journalist who asks the correct questions and she had a little rant about Israel. So we forget about all the important stuff that she has done and burn her for a little gaffe which she subsequently apologises for? How about looking at her important question about who has nuclear weapons in the region? But no, instead they ignore the important points and focus on the relatively trivial. Screw the mainstream media. Rant over, here is Nader having his moment in the mainstream.



Anyway, what are you views on Ralph Nader? I quite like him.
