The Wisconsin State Journal, previewing independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader’s visit to the state this week, says Nader “says he’s running for president again to highlight what he calls a ‘corporate state’ in which government works on behalf of businesses at the expense of citizens.” In a telephone interview, Nader said “corporations and their executives ‘hijack’’state and local governments by buying influence through campaign contributions and advertisements, landing key government jobs overseeing economic issues, and threatening to move overseas.”

If your anger is directed at the quasi-capitalist system in place in this country, then yes, you are better off voting for Nader or hell, even McKinney. -.-
We are at a point in society that demands OUR PARTICIPATION! I believe in the ideals that Ralph Nader champions, the belief that we are all “The Peopleâ€, and that when corporate funds are accepted, strings ARE attached. I can only hope that our divided, distracted, diverted populace does something other than electing one of the corporate shills running, we’ve had 200 years to have a representative government, and still have a corporate power structure that has run us into the ditch YET AGAIN! Lets do something different this time,
Vote Sanity, Vote Nader.
You convinced me, blackcatsoda.
You do realize that this is a third party blog? And that we all already know about Nader/Gonzalez?
No more corporate rule!
I actually would prefer that to government rule.
Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez, the only SERIOUS candidates for this years elections.
The other 2 party’s are repeats of years past and listening to their speeches this year makes you realize how things have not changed for the better for the PUBLIC at all over the last 3 elections!
Let’s get someone in the office who is BY and FOR the PEOPLE!!!
NO MORE CORPORATE RULE!
NAder/Gonzalez 2008!!!!
