What Has Nader Said About The Swift Boat Attacks...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He served....

That gives him more credibility than Chicken George and Cheney the Coward....

[napi21]

1. Not a peep that I've heard.

He's too busy getting the Pubs to get him on the ballots.

[still_one]

2. At least he didn't agree with them

[LisaL]

4. Since he said nothing-

How do you know that?

[RobertSeattle]

3. ? Ralph was in the military?

[Dookus]

5. Nader served?

when?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Yep... I'll Give Ralph His Props For That.... (nt)

[fujiyama]

7. He served in the army

for a whole 6 months.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. That's Six Months More Than AWOL and Cheney Combined...

I think it was more than six months....


I don't think they let you pull six month gigs...

[fujiyama]

14. That's true

The only info I found was on this site:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/special/president/candidates/nader.html

"After a six-month stint in the Army in 1959, Nader traveled through Latin America, Africa and Europe. "

11. why don't any of his online biographies

mention military service?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. search hard....

i guess being in the military doesn't fit with the "green" image of a radical...

[Feanorcurufinwe]

8. Who?

:shrug:

[Democat]

10. He's probably too busy cashing his secret checks from Perry

Nader is one of them, why would he say anything?

[LimpingLib]

13. Hopefully nothing. (this is a side issue between Kerry and the 250 vets)

I wish he would however talk about real issues. One of my biggest concerns is Kerrys foreign policy and civil rights policy.

"Only Nixon can go to China" and after the GOP and the right wing loosing all credibility on wars (and loosing a bit of credibility on eroding civil rights though not much since they never get taken to task by Democrats who frankly agree with them)then beware of the Neo-cons and foreign policy elites already in and soon to come into our party.

"Only Kerry can bomb nation X Y Z"

"Only Edwards can strengthen the patriot act"

I worry about the internet being banned or shut down after a "Nero" "9/11ish" cyber terror act that somehow causes lots of trouble.

15. If They Close The Net That Would Kill Alot Of Business....

I don't see that happening...

IBM, Dell , and HP would go out of business for starters...

[LimpingLib]

16. Government always has a side line.

They can keep the $$$ moving.

Basicaly ban the net for average citizens is the point.Limit our ability to learn whats going on. Without the net think of what little we would know beyong what Russert and Hume tell us.
