Conservative Ralph Nader by the Southern Avenger
Jul 1, 2008

In light of independent candidate for president Ralph Nader's recent comments on Barack Obama and white guilt, SA thought it might be worth noting exactly how much more conservative the consumer advocate is than his Republican contemporaries.

4. I remember him now
I see him sometimes on freedom watch sometimes. But hes not really a conservative in todays sense, hes more of a libertarian than anything else. But more grease to his elbow if he continues to call out the hypocrisy of the leaders in his own party. Also check out his blistering critic of Palin, it would make your head spin

7. the dude hates Republicans
Jack writes for Charleston City Paper (as stated in the video), my moniker is Charleston Chew. Try and make the connection. I know Jack in real life, not just from here on the web. He does not identify with Republicans at all. Jack aka Southern Avenger is indeed the definition of a literal conservative. The original conservative, an Eisenhower conservative.

8. So you mean to say
Edited on Fri Apr-01-11 12:12 PM by Dokkie
that he is the Jane Hamshire of the republicans? zing. Good for him, I am sure this country would be in a much better place if all the conservatives morphed into the pre Reagan form. Heck, we got the EPA from Nixon.

Also kudos to him for exposing more of his types to the teaching and philosophy of Nader and the greens. Progressivism is not only found in the democratic party. Maybe if it is exposed under a different moniker, they will join us

9. EXACTLY!
thank you!

Sometimes I feel so alone here on DEMOCRATIC underground. It is great to read comments like that.

I am in this for the win and that win will only be accomplished thru tact.

11. Hell, I'd have no dread of a Republican administration if conservative = Eisenhower -
-as opposed to batshit crazy as it does today.

100% Guarantee Eisenhower would be run out of the Republican party on a rail today. Ditto for Lincoln and double ditto for Teddy Roosevelt.

6. At least you are open to an intillectual discourse.

Is that all you have? not very progressive, not at all.

10. I voted for Ralph in 2000
Still think he'd have made a better president than anybody we've had since at least Clinton. Maybe since Truman.
