Nader rails on Clinton family

[Clarkansas]

Nader's piece is long, so I only posted a portion of it for your reading pleasure.
-----
Two-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader today sent out this brutal assessment of the Clinton dynasty to his e-mail list of supporters. (Nader, a supporter of John Edwards, doesn't mention the former senator in his note.)

EIGHT MORE YEARS
By Ralph Nader

Bill Clinton is generally viewed as one smart politician, having been twice elected the President, helped by lackluster Robert Dole, having survived the Lewinsky sex scandal, lying under oath about sex, and impeachment. When is it all about himself, he is cunningly smart.

But during his two-term triangulating Presidency, he wasn't smart enough to avoid losing his Party's control over Congress, or many state legislatures and Governorships.

It has always been all about him, Now he sees another admission ticket to the White House through his wife, Hillary Clinton. EIGHT MORE YEARS without a mobilized, demanding participating citizenry is just that - EIGHT MORE YEARS. It's small wonder that the editors of Fortune Magazine headlined an article last June with the title, "Who Business is Betting On?" Their answer, of course, was Hillary Clinton.

1. The man so pure he chose to give us George W. Bush? I have no interest in anything he says. nt

[bidenista]

2. this from the ass who screwed us in 2000?

At least the Clintons understand that a Dem in the WH is better than a Repuke. This tool would happily have Giuliani as National Führer so long as it allowed him to play the "pure progressive".

3. Dammit! Didn't Nadar say he wouldn't jump in the race if Edwards were the nominee, but anyone else

and he would? :argh:

[sunonmars]

4. Fuck nader, i would'nt piss on him

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. But he pisses on us plenty. And is glad too do so.

[tblue]

5. It has always been about" YOU, Ralph! Later, Nader.

[robbedvoter]

6. Watch DU embrace him now! "Wow! he makes sense!"

[R_M]

8. They just might.

I have stayed away from this place because it has become Jonestown with Obama as their "leader".
It seems that anyone who does not support Obama is hated around here as well by the punditry.

11. You must have missed all the threads

like this
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4234580&mesg_id=4234580

The Clinton crew has just as many obnoxious supporters here as any other candidate.

[robbedvoter]

18. "as many" is quite a stretch - but I won't defend that one

9. Blow me, Ralph. You are a narcissistic asshole

[MADem]

10. Christ, that gasbag will try to steal ANYONE's thunder!!!! What a piling on asshat!

Does he think this aligns him with Ted Kennedy, or what?

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Piss Off, Ralph Nader.

Sheesh, what an insufferable egotistical asshole.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

13. Nader is only relevant when it comes to putting PUKES in the white house

[applegrove]

14. Please just be quiet. You've done enough damage to this country allready.

[Meshuga]

15. Ralph Nader helped bring Bush into power

He's an asshole. Nader wants 8 more years of a Republican in the white house.

[DesertFlower]

16. ralph nader is a great consumer advocate.

that's what he does best. i wish he would stay out of politics.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Yeah, he killed the corvair and my dad who is a life long Democrat, has never

forgiven Nadar for that. :evilgrin: He says Nadar is , "Unsafe at any speed". :spray:

[mzmolly]

17. Who?

:eyes:

[WinkyDink]

20. "It has always been all about him." Epitaph for Nader's 2000 run.

[jasmine621]

21. Again, I say, I am just amazed by how much people hate the Clintons. nt

[davidwparker]

22. Sing it, Ralph! K&R.
