So Nader will be making a stop in Iowa City tonight, and hopefully I'll be attending (contingent on my blood alcohol level, but we'll see). I would really like to ask him some questions... possibly: How do feel about the fact that your name isnt on ballots in half the states because 70% of your support comes from Bush loyalists? I honestly dont know what Nader can be attempting to do. Nader says he's running to stop corporate influence on politics, and conceeds that a vote for him hurts Kerry, but he seems to only be attacking Kerry and the Democrats, primarily for their "corporate connections." Uhm, can you say oil corporations Ralph? What about all those major auto corporations you worked so hard to reform 30 years ago? Nader wants CFR reform but without the massive Republican budget, Nader himself would not be on the ballot in any of the states he has.

He's not attacking Kerry and the Democrats; he's attacking the establishment that created the two-party system that corporations have
hijacked. Democrats need to stop whining because Nader is just sticking to his guns and doing the same thing that many of those same Dems cheered him on for in years past.
