WTF!).
He's taken himself from a respectable, even honorable consumer protection fighter (let's face it, the corvair WAS unsafe and if it weren't for Nader we'd be driving much more dangerous cars today) and spiraled down into a laughingstock that only attracts votes from the delusional far left - votes that COULD be going to kick King George out of Washington.

Not everyone thinks that these ideas are "unrealistic" or "delusional" - I can think of no single policy carried out by any US president in the last 50 years that would do a tenth of the good for the country that state ownership (with no compensation for the capitalist owners) of the top 100 capitalist enterprises in America. This would be a wonderful policy that would do immeasurable good for the American people and American economy.
Nader will, if necessary, prove to the Democrat party that a Democrat cannot win the election when they stand on a Republican mandate.
