Obama v Cheney 7:23pm on 21 May 2009 well, they have both proved to be men of war. obama somehow won the anti-war ticket and now we have been exposed (how shocking) of killing women and children civilians in afghanistan. is anyone else sick of going to war?

hope. change.
Oprah for the Supreme Court 7:26pm on 05 May 2009 Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky to split time.
Journalists need prompting too 6:21pm on 25 Mar 2009 The problem is, I (along with many others) don't want the most powerful person in the world reading to me someone else's words. Get out a piece of paper if you need to read something. The telemprompters are transparent for a reason: you aren't supposed to notice them. They were created to be deceptive and it fits snugly in the world of politics.

Using a telemprompter doesn't make one a bad president or a bad person. But a sheet of paper is all that's needed. When they put up see-through screens in locations that the presidents appears to be looking at his crowd while he reads, it is purposeful deception.
Hillary and US humility 7:39pm on 14 Jan 2009 "When are we going to learn from history? When are we going to learn that we can't bomb our way to justice?"
- Ralph Nader, 2001
An end to "victimhood"? 7:40pm on 06 Nov 2008 #2 - Black Americans may have the same rights, but I taught in Watts and those little kids don't have the same opportunity as my students in the Bay Area do. They've never even seen a forest. The world they know is squalor, holes in the walls at school, and parents that beat their kids. That was the reality there. No one should say they can't, especially now. But no one should now assume nobody needs any help.
Bad losers and bad finishers 11:35pm on 29 Oct 2008 To contribute to any 'bad finish,' this article by Matt Gonzalez, Nader's VP mate, is quite a fact-filled bashing of Obama and his abandoning the poor.

Reagan, Clinton, W, and Obama 2:08pm on 27 Oct 2008 Socrates had this nailed two and a half millennia ago: there is a difference between sophistry and truth.

Uninsured 00:11am on 23 Oct 2008 Ralph Nader, unlike Obama and McCain, is for single-payer healthcare.

You wouldn't have heard about that on the debates, though...
