Today is Constitution Day. To honor it, a group of Nader supporters from New York City will go to Rockefeller Center's, 'TV City' and protest the 'mainstream' media blackout of the Nader campaign, as well as Nader's exclusion from the televised 2008 presidential debates in front of NBC offices. In 2000, Al Gore was shadowed by Nader supporters in chicken suits, who would hold up signs that read: "My name is Al and I am too chicken to debate Nader !" Do we again, have to resort to the chicken suits with Obama in 2008?!? BORROW A PAIR FROM HILLARY BARACK! OPEN THE DEBATES!

Ralph Nader has done more for American citizens than any President, Congressman or Senator has in the past 50 years. Because of Ralph we have consumer safety laws for everything from toys to automobiles. The records of both MaCain and Obama pale in comparison in what they have accomplished.

I was waiting to see who Rocky is endorsing, but now I realize that he got most of his political advice from Cardozo...

Life seems so much clearer here in Utahahaha now, without Rocky, though.

Could it be that no one is paying attention to Nader because no one cares? He's irrelevant. If polls would show that Americans would vote for him then I'm sure the media would pick up on it. After all, the media only covers what it thinks it can sell. If the American public doesn't know about or doesn't care for Nader, isn't that Nader's fault? Isn't he responsible for getting the word out? Sure, go ahead and blame it on the media if that makes you feel better.

But for the Nader campaign in 2000, Al Gore would be finishing his second term as president and we wouldn't have the mess that W is leaving behind. Gee thanks, Ralph. If you can get some media attention, maybe you can get us some more of the same with a John McBush presidency?

People, Gore lost the election for himself. Ralph Nader did nothing to ensure Bush stole the election. See Gore lost his home state of Tennesse which would've won him the election. Why? Because Gore ran a crap campaign. 250,000 registered Democrats voted Republican in Florida alone. 3 times as many votes Ralph Nader received. Also, Bush won supposedly by 547 votes, there were 8 3rd party candidates on the ballot in florida. All received enough votes to cost Gore the election. Yet you mind numbing idiots keep blaming Nader. And on another note. Yes we do blame the media for the lack of attention paid to Nader's campaign. The same corporations who own the media own the corporate Democratic and Republican parties INCLUDING the commission on presidential debates. Nader is doing more than any other major candidate running for election. But those corporate candidates CORPORATE sponsors don't think Ralph Nader's ideas are profitable to their corporations. Therefore the blackout. Come on!! How can it not be more obvious. People, seriously. Wake up and smell the corruption.

I just wasted 2 minuites 45 seconds of my life including the 30 seconds it took me to write this comment watching Ralph Nader.

I will never get that time back!

The only good thing about that video was the bird.

Poor old Ralph, he comes all the way out here to Zion to commiserate with his buddy and ends up getting in a much more intelligent conversation with Rocky's bird!

Interesting that these two are pals. Frick and Frack, or maybe just the embarrassing ramblings of two has been almost were's still trying to be relevant. They are both a joke as well as being yesterday's news.

Go Ralph! You were right on the Wall Street speculators, when many doubted you. We need you as President.

Was this supposed to be funny? Rocky should stick to his day job...oh, he failed at that one too.
Anne | 1:18 p.m. Sept. 18, 2008
The ad is pretty dumb, but that doesn't mean Ralph is!!! He's actually getting a lot more media coverage now that people realize he was right about the FDIC and the mortgage companies.
