Ralph Nader Might Announce Run For President
SonicSpike writes "According to the AP, Ralph Nader could be poised for another presidential campaign. Nader will appear on NBC's 'Meet the Press' tomorrow to announce whether he will launch another White House bid. Nader kicked off his 2004 presidential run on the show. Kevin Zeese, who was Nader's spokesman during the 2004 presidential race said, 'Obviously, I don't think Meet the Press host Tim Russert would have him on for no reason.'"
Out of curiosity, to avoid excessive weight gain and diabetes risk, do the people who rationalize like this prefer to sweeten their massive amounts of Kool Aid with Splenda or Equal?
You get uncontrolled capitalism when the government passes legislation that stops competition. Free-market capitalism (which, I must note, not many capitalists support) is very much controlled by customers, who are vicious in their lack of loyalty.
Oh, and if capitalism caused the poor to become poorer, then how do you explain the fact that the poor in capitalist countries are much better off than the poor in socialist countries? (and don't give me the Nordic countries -- they're capitalist countries with a socialist veneer.) Or if you don't like that comparison in space, let's try a comparison in time: why are the poor in capitalist countries richer than the poor in the same countries before they were capitalist?
Or do you not actually believe that the poor are richer, and were just tossing off a cliche?

ROFL!!!!!!!! I almost blew milk out my nose when I read this. Gore...good lord man, I understand you hate bush, whatever, but...Gore....that man...he's a nutbag. I'd rather have Oscar the Grouch for president than him.
You people live in fantasy land. You think all this hatred for the U.S. happened during the 4 years Bush was in office after that sleazebag Clinton. The reality is....oh what's the point. You've got your head way too far up your ass to pull out.
