And Ralph Nader said that Sen. Obama wasn't giving messages the people could gain something from?  I believe he said it didn't address the needs of the low to middle class.

And this did?

What does Ralph Nader stand for?  He has been running for president longer than I have been able to vote but I still don't know what he would do if he was president.

Please, let Nov. 4 come quickly so we can get all of this sideshow politics out of the way and get to real governing.

Obama/Biden '08/12
It will be a cold day in hell before I'd ever consider voting for this egomaniac. I wish he'd crawl back under whatever rock he resides in during the intervening quadrennial years.
Nader would make a better president than Barack Obama. Take it to the bank, if you can find one that is still functional after Barney Frank and his stupidos have screwed up the financial markets.
Who gives a scare about Ralph?  He's totally irrelevant this time around as Barack Obama has sealed the fates of McNasty and his Wicked Witch.  What's really ghoulish is that so many fools are going to go out with Wicked Witch costumes.  No treats for them if they come knocking on my door.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!
He doesn't actually expect to get votes with this crap, does he?

Obama/Biden '08!

Anybody with any brains would vote for Ralph Nader before they'd ever vote for John McCain.

Then again, anybody with any brains would vote for Homer Simpson before they'd ever vote for John McCain.
This has got to be the strangest political ad I have ever seen. Until the very final scene you don't even know who is putting it out. It turns me off.
Nader's a joke!  Here's what's really scary:

It's called McChapter 7 - Morally Bankrupt

Please send it to anyone who needs another looks at Real Monsters.
This is stupid.

Stop wasting my time with nonsense, MSN.
Appropriate, seeing we're about to elect an Edsel to the WH.
Scary video, particularly the very end.
Cute! Gotta love Ralph...and Ron...and Bob. All three on the ballot here in Montana. All together they could pull 4 to 6 % points from the GOP and from the DEMs that would never vote for Obama anyway.
Looking for BLUE Sky here on Tuesday!
That was so god awful annoying that I don't want to watch or listen to it again.  Can anyone translate the lyrics for me? I found them unintelligible.
WTF??
LOL  

Aaagghhh!!

Night of the Living Republicans!!!!
"If I were president, I'd nuke the middle east and turn it into the world's largest parking lot." - John McCain.
Stupid! I saw Ralph Nader when I was in elementary school. Even though I was from a strong GOP family (now all Democrats, because the Iowa GOP doesn't resemble the party it was prior to Roe v. Wade) my brother took me to a speech Nader gave. He was a hero to me. However he's gone from being a consumer advocate champion to a joke. The Country owes so much to Nader for his past advocacy, but his continuing to run for President when he has no chance (and after he cost Gore the 2000 election--due to his support in Florida) has turned an admirable legacy into a joke. He has become a pathetic joke, and if it weren't for 2000 I'd pity him.
ummm...why would this add make me vote for Nader??  
Just strange...
That was weirdly effective.  I totally get what he is saying and frankly he is right.  Zombies following the broken two party system. Both parties are the status quo.  

Give it 4 years, if Obama is more of the same, the two party system is done.  
WTF?!!??
Ralph has officially lost it. Oh and by the way what was with that part of the video with the black man and the white women all about, a little race baiting by the Nader campaign.
what will be scary is having McCain and Palin leading this country? This will be enough to run away.
That has to be the weirdest political ad I have seen since Gravelle's!  :-)  
Wow! That looked like video from a "Insane McCain and "Puppet Palin" race-baiting rally. That is how the "Messengers of Misinformation" representing the "Insane McCain" Campaign sound. When "spewing" all over the cable TV News programs. A very accurate Halloween GOP and RNC story! Happy Halloween America!
This guy needs a therapist ---- fast.



OBAMA/BIDEN '08 ......The only choice....
The dying gasp of a once great public servant.  Hmmm...who else could we say that about?
I have never met someone who I agreed with more but respected less than Ralph Nader(except maybe Michael Moore, they should have a contest to see who has the biggest ego).  I don't think he has any idea what it means to be a leader, much less a president.  It takes a lot more than ideas to be a president.  As Obama said last night, he is working for a working majority.  Nader could never get more than 20% of the public to agree with him or his ultra-liberal agenda.  
Change happens in the middle, not by the wackos on either end of the spectrum.  
I know that I am much more liberal than Obama, but I am proud to have elected someone who will work with conservatives to implement policies that they believe in as well.  The last thing we need is the liberal version of George Bush who only appeals to the far wing of his party.  

Conservatives shouldn't fear Obama and ultra-liberals should realize that he will be more effective in getting good legislation passed than any of these 3rd party candidates.  

What the Hell was that????????
How sad that two men, Nader and McCain, who years ago were good honorable men, have allowed age to make them so narcistic and out of touch with reality.  They, themselves, don't even recognize what they used to stand for.  For them, it's "all about me".  Country First...what a bunch of BS.
Darlink, dat vuz "Goulash"!
Much more entertaining than the Obama Infomercial. Keeps you focused to see what might happen. Appears to be a lot, and I mean a lot less expensive. Smart on Nader's part there.  
Ignorant. That's exactly why he's never gone anywhere!
If you non Nader people Only realized all that NADER has done for you and how he has fought the establishment to make our lives better you would ALL be singing a different tune! Seatbelts, Clean water & Air acts
the Freedom of Information Act and So So Much More! Nader has been fighting the broken system for 40 years, a true american patriot. The reason the Democrats nor Republicans (they have a contract together as well as THEIR debate commission) to keep guys like Nader out of the debates because they are BOTH afraid of Americans hearing the Truth! Nader is ANTI-WAR completely! He is Anti-Fossil Fuel PRO Solar and Wind and ALTERNATIVE energies. Nader is Anti-Corporation and Pro Small Business, Mom & Pop shops. Nader actually cares about and Speaks about the Working Class, the Lower Class and the Poor. The big guys only talk about the middle and rich classes. Ralph Nader would bring about REAL Change - Not just Political Rhetoric while staffing himself with Bush/Clinton political advisers, what sort of change can be expected when all your advisers and the SAME people that have advised the clintons/Bushes? NONE! We will still be in Iraq killing for OIL regardless of whether we have a Democrat or Republican in  office. We will still be issuing Corporate Welfare checks to bail out the RICH. There will be NO significant change, mark my words right here right now! the ONLY change will be getting W. out of office. Ralph Nader would tear down this broken establishment and replace it with one that is constitutional and FAIR for ALL the people in america, not just the elite, not just the middle class and not just joe the plumber. To bad the duopoly has an iron fisted stranglehold on our So Called "DEMOCRACY" and people like Ralph Nader are brushed to the side. One day though, unfortunately when it is too late people will look back and think , wow, we should have listened to Ralph Nader and gave him a chance! visit my blog to see my Ralph Nader video and So much More! http://enemyartistkristofer.blogspot.com
