Nader slams Dems for having 2000 grudge

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Democratic leaders are still so angry about the 2000 election that they are keeping him from congressional testimony on issues, Ralph Nader charges.

Nader, 74, suggested he has been scapegoated for his Green Party presidential candidacy in the 2000 race which some observers feel played a key role in George W. Bush's victory over Al Gore. Nader responds that Democrats should start facing their own failings, The Washington Times reported Tuesday.

"They are so small-minded that to keep the myth up that it wasn't them that got Bush in the White House, it was Nader/LaDuke -- to keep that myth and sustain it in the public's mind, they can't possibly associate with me or have me testify. Even though they knew they blew it in 1,000 ways in '00 and '04," Nader said.

Nader won 2.7 percent of the national vote in 2000 and only 0.3 percent as an independent in 2004 when he appeared on the ballot in only 34 states.

Maybe the american people are remembering Nader's gift of automotive supremacy to Germany and Japan by his attact on GM for things that German and Japanese cars were far worse in, Unsafe At Any Speed did not just apply to the Corvair, it was true of nearly all cars manufactured at that time. Nader wanted to destroy the american auto industry and put American workers on the streets, and he did it.

Mr. Ralph Nader Atty for the People

Mr. Ralph Nader, the Atorney for the People, obtained his law degree after many years of hard studies and work. HE HAS WITH HIS LAW DEGREE PROTECTED MANY INICENTS VICTIMS OF SAFETY, ABUSES OF LAW, DENIALS OF DUE PROCESS. Because of his dilligent work, we are better in many aspects of safety, and due process. With the present violations of law and ethics, say the grave Mortgages, and comission driven frauds fabricated, slowly we may see a better administration in power, if the average Joe, such as I, REGISTER AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER. I know that Mr. Nader will speak on these flaws of our economy and gree of : "The few after huge amounts of $$$money without ethics and / or considerations to whom these men hurt. Has been a strong policy for the last eight years -- The principle these men practice is: The most (money) for the few, all support for the few, the losses we may have!! are for the most ( regular Joes as I). And full consideration for us, the few, none for the most. Readers better think, how much is pending in the November Ellection - Take Care of your vote if you want and need change.. Blessing to readers...to improve judgement...
