Ok, so everyone knows how important this next presidential election is..maybe the most important one in the history of our country. With all of the confusion of the public and the turmoil of our policies Americans are looking for a swift change in the direction we are all headed. Personally, I have yet to find a candidate that really gets my attention..I mean, Obama has some good things to say sometimes, he gives great speeches and seems pretty progressive, but lacks experience in the federal world. This lack of experience would make it hard for him to man the controls of the nose-dived airliner that Washington is today.
I know that 3rd parties don't have a chance in winning this election, but all of my confidence rests with the Green Party. Their agenda is the most sound and educated one out there and I hope that Nader decides to run on their ticket. A lot of people think that if he runs, he'll take away crucial votes for the Dems, but I think thats just full of it. The Dems will say that to muster up anti-third party thoughts so they can keep their spot as one of two parties that control Washington and the election process. Nader was barred from a Fox News debate in 2004, even though he was invited by the news station. The debate committee is controlled by the Dems and the Repubs and they don't want that to change. It probably won't any time soon...
It would be good for now, at least, if the Dems would get with the Green Party and take on Ralph's agenda (link to GP agenda provided below). I'm hoping that Obama will win the primary, I believe he would be the only one to take on the progressive agenda. Hillary wouldn't do this, she's too full of herself. If the Dems would just take on the Green Party agenda, they would gain the votes of hundreds of thousands of GP voters, like myself, and have a much better chance of winning. And on that, GP voters aren't just Dems, in some states there are more Repubs that vote Green than Dems... gotta remember those agricultural voters and the thousands of farmers that look to the Green Party..So check out Ralph, I posted an interview from last year with him on Hardball...there's a second part you should check out on YouTube...

Anyone else tired of hearing about Nader? He has become viewed as more of a pop-culture icon than a presidential candidate.
i'm not so sure anyone has heard about him, but you're right, he is on the new "christmas edition pepsi" with brittany spears.
