Reply #19: I Love This Great Idea [View All]

[Hidden Stillness]

I love this idea, and would support it. This is probably what Nader should have done before, even though Al "D"LC/NAFTA/GATT Gore lost the election just by being Al "D"LC/NAFTA/GATT Gore. Nader has been a brilliant lawyer and public servant for almost all of my life, and a powerful and brave voice for truth against very threatening interests, such as Sen. Dodd's criminal friends at Countrywide mortgage, for example--Dodd has ended up being a huge disappointment. I was hearing Howard Dean as substitute host on Rachel Maddow a couple of nights ago talking to a guest about the great Sen. Bernie Sanders. Somebody--I think the guest--said that what the Democratic Party needs is the fighters such as we used to have (and mentioned the name of Sen. Metzenbaum of Ohio). It was then said that people think Sanders will be a fighter on health care, but Sanders is really not like that, and will not be one, even though great on the issues. Add the fiery and highly intelligent and principled Ralph Nader to the mix and have them become like a team, and things will be different. That is also the part of the country that might support it; I would love it. Ralph Nader is one of the greatest Americans ever.
