Nader on 2012 Race, Wisconsin Recall and the Attack on Pensions & the Supreme Court (Video Report

by Amy Goodman & Juan Gonzalez 6-15-12 Democracy Now!)

Yes, a Ralph Nader interview from a short time ago. Interesting to this Democratic Party of Wisconsin member. So, DU, what do you think about this interview and Ralph Nader (whom I voted for in Wisconsin in 2000-btw, President Obama has my vote as well as criticisms) and don't EVER give me the disinfo about Nader was responsible for the coup that installed the criminal administration of BUSH/CHENEY et al.

He would be an asset in any administration-he was effective, to a point, in consumer advocation bobthedrummer Jun 2012 #6

Probably true. Yet Democratic leadership seems to love Lieberman. Autumn Jun 2012 #8

He usually has a good grasp of what is wrong with our country.

and safety issues for workers. The activism of Nader influenced groups is very positive.

The Democratic leadership doesn't want to hear what Nader says.

Sometimes I think Scalia spread the lie that the supremely powerful Ralph Nader was responsible for the crime they themselves committed. One thing is certain, they must smile each time they see a few leftover attempts to convince people that it was Ralph Nader.

Nothing like pointing the finger 'over there' after you've committed a crime as big as that one.

The Felonious Five thank them for their efforts.
