Or that because she is a female, it would never be said if a male was saying the same. I just wonder how much longer this is going to occur. It is getting old. Maybe Ralph said this because of his gender, he is trying to compensate.

Sometimes an asshat is just an asshat.

Nader is blaming "the women" for decisions made by Obama.

make the assumption that it doesn't matter who wins. Again.

there is a large ring of truth in that. That HRC is dangerously hawkish is not an opinion, it is a fact.

He's a tool.

I doubt there's any "overcompensation" with Clinton. Her worldview is one of violence and domination, and is thus a perfect match for the position of both Secretary of State and Presidency.

Fuck Ralph Nader and the sexist horse he rode in on.

Hillary wasn't trying to compensate for anything. She just doesn't give a damn. Like all of the other members of the aristocracy, she just places no value on the lives of brown people who stand in the way of American empire. They're all simply collateral damage in the war to increase the wealth and power of the 1%. Hillary is a hawk. War and murder are part of the game.

I'd say Ralph is likely accurate here.

I can easily see some Dick Morris/Lani Davis-style schmuck telling her "You need to show the public that a woman can be tough! Vote for the war! Flex your foreign policy muscle! Look what it did for Thatcher!"

And the Clintons, as was the case with Morris' idiotic advice, would swallow it and comply.

I don't think Ralph is being sexist here, just accurately describing the thinking of DC consultants and their laughable "expertise."

some others.

she is popular among the generals and i think it's because they are kind of on the same level in terms of intelligence and education. and their view of the world and how use of military could help in getting some of the things they support.

So they make up shit.

Sad he's been reduced to making himself available to that stuff.

Ralph Nader is proof the whole country needs a top-two general election system like Washington has.

I'm sure as hell not paying attention to him, at this point.

but something happened to him - maybe the D.C. Bubble.

That's a long time back, though.

A real pity too...a loss for us all and the planet imo.

Thatcher did the same thing.

some men just can't handle there being a strong woman.

between Democratsand republicans. For me Nader lost all credibility in 2000,
