If Barack Obama does NOT want to debate with Ralph Nader on issues like this...Barack IS a Coward! Period!I will vote for Ralph Nader! Barack & McCain blew it long long long ago!

I am a former Democrat. Obama is not going to do anything about FISA. Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off the table. The bloodguilt of the Republicans spills over on the Dems and I don't want part of that bloodguilt. VOTE RALPH NADER!!!

Better get Nader on 50 states and allow him to debate against those crapitalists.

molloyx - I really don't see your point. Democrats and republicans are just 2 sides of the same coin. Democrats push through what the republicans can't.Like when Clinton pushed through NAFTA, which is largely to blame for the massive job loss here and in Mexico. NAFTA is the main reason immigration has increased exponentially the last 10 years. Dems. also passed welfare reform and have help lead the attack on the working class. They are playing good cop bad cop and we lose.Vote Nader!

Does any serious minded person believe that Gore would have sent arch-conservative automatons like Robertson and Alioto to the Supreme Court? That he would have, like Cheney, huddled in secret with energy barons as Cheney did? That he would have surrounded himself with neo-con war hawks like Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Feith? That he would have chosen a glib proto fascist like Gonzalez to head the dept of justice? Not bloody likely.

Nader was by no means entirely to blame. Gore ran a lousy campaign, the Supreme Court was in the bag and much of the electorate bought the Dolt from Crawfords ridiculous Humble Cowpoke routine. That said, Naders campaign was largely built on the notion that there was no real difference between Bush and Gore. Now we well know how great that difference was and that the Nader campiagn was built upon an egregious and narcissitic lie.

The republicans, the media, and the supreme court stole the election in 2000 and they have convinced people that it was Ralph Naders fault.Ha ha, People need to turn off their TVs and turn on their brains.Peace.

DEmocrats have got to stop scapegoating Nader and look at their own failings. 1st Bush's claimed foreign policy b4 9/11 was a based on being against nation building as Ron Paul said, which was a platform he supported taht was never followed through2nd don't be so sure Al Gore wouldn't have gone into Iraq as the CLinton/Gore administration bombed Iraq, & Gore had war hawk Lieberman as his VP who supports the Iraq war3rd Democrats & Republicans both will incraese military spending

malloyx:NO ONE in 2000 could have predicted 911 or the Iraq war. From his vantage point then, Nader could see what is MUCH more APPARENT to us now. BOTH parties are bought and sold by the same special interests: Big oil, military industrial complex, the medical industry, etc.If all of this were not so, then the Democrats would have done their DUTY to OPPOSE the war, OPPOSE the "Patriot"Act, DENY ALL funding for the war, OPPOSE the Telecom Immunity Bill. They are the other half of the problem.

molloyoyxMcCain and Obama differ on issues, but BOTH of them are just mainstream politicians that are beholden to the SAME special interests and ruling elites that control BOTH parties. I am done with BOTHThis country NEEDS a REVOLUTION; a re-awakening of consciousness where we ALL, left and right, band together and take down 2 big Parties' hegemony over the system and bring REAL change.The Democrats did little oppose or stop Bush, the war and the erosion of liberties. They are ALSO 2 blame
