If Nader Really Wanted to Change Things for the Better,
rather than running for a hopeless campaign, he should have taken up the issue of Voting Machines.

Diebold & others are a threat to democracy, & are as important as his crusade against unsafe cars.

His ability to get media time could have put this issue on the front pages, & get the word out to people about paperless machines. He could have brought suits against these companies, & exposed who is profiting from this dirty scheme.

That, IMO, would have been a really worthy project, & he would have made a huge contribution towards honest government.

3. that is IF he really wanted to change things for the better
He obviously does not really care about the best interests of his country or the environment for that matter. Nader wants to jump into the area for self serving egotistical ends.

4. You could say that about anything.
Just let people fill in the blank space with their own "he should have taken up _____________".

5. This is crucial to this coming election
& it corresponds directly with his past successes in going after corrupt companies.

And why does he disappear for 3 years at a time, & then crawl out of the woodwork to create chaos.

If he's such a force for good, why isn't he around except at election time?

Because he's a phony, running on accomplisments from 30 yrs ago.

6. But I am saying it about Nader
I see no benefit or value in this political opportunist. Nader needs to go away.
