Hear anything from Nader today?

Or did he just take his cash payment from the 'pukes and slither back under his rock?

I don't need a 'I told you so' from NADER right now. Dean supporters I can handle, but Ralph would probably make me cry.

I couldn't care less what he has to say.

that such a formerly reputable person could devolve into such an empty demagogue who willingly abetts the takeover of this country with even more NeoCon, religious fundy mentality and say he's against it.

or should it be "whom"? can never remember

COOPER: Where do you think the Democratic party goes from here?"

NADER: I think they have to decide who they're standing for and who they're kneeling in front of. They should be standing for working families, living wage for all, 47 million workers, a lot of voters, don't have a living wage, health insurance for all, not some complex tax subsidy scheme, a strategy to get out of Iraq, but above all, shifting power back to the people from the excessive corporate power that "Businessweek" and others in the business media have documented.

And if they don't do that, if they continue to compete for the same corporate dollars for their campaigns, they continue to surround themselves with the same corporate campaign consultants and financiers, then they're going to blur instead of draw a bright line on many issues with the Republican party which is very good at flattering, fooling, and tricking a lot of people because a lot of people, let's face it, a lot of people do not do their homework as voters. If they don't do their homework as voters, they're very susceptible to voting for the rhetoric rather than the record of the miserable President George W. Bush who's turned his back on so many working Americans while he flatters them.

COOPER: But Mr. Nader, what works in a Democratic primary does not necessarily work in a national election for president. I mean what can get you the nod in the primary doesn't necessarily mean that's what voters are going to want.

NADER: Well, I think 47 million workers, the Wal-Mart workers, the single moms, I think they deserve something better than 6 or 7 or $8 an hour. I think people who have to pay or die or pay or get sick because our health commercial system is fitted that way, I think they'd like a full Medicare for all the way their elderly parents have. They're not clear. The Democrats are not clear. They're very ambiguous and very torn. For example on the morals issues, what kind of morals is it for Bush to elect corporate crime fraud and abuse that you guys document all the time off the hook. What about the morality of corporate crime, the morality of dangerous workplaces and deaths from air pollution and bad hospital practices that destroy all kinds of lives? What's the morality of telling Cuban-Americans in the south of Florida they can't visit their relatives in Cuba except once every three years? Is that family values

Costing Nader the election.
