Ralph Nader must be stopped.

Need some ammo against Ralph Nader? He's not all he's cracked up to be. Some might even call him a bit cracked, himself. For what does Ralph Nader stand? Ralph Nader, and not much else. This article, by the New Republic's Jonathan Chait explains just how self-absorbed and self-interested Nader is. (Link goes to Free Republic. sorry). Ralph Nader, Inc. reveals that Nader is particularly blind to life's realities, and peoples' desires. Think that Nader, Inc.'s PIRGs are a good idea? Think again. the "public interest research" produced by the Nader groups was systematically fraudulent. Every time I actually got into an issue deeply enough to understand the details -- nuclear power, toxic waste, pharmaceutical regulation -- I discovered that the Naderites had no more respect for the facts than the industries they were fighting: in some cases, less. According to this former PIRGer, "The PIRGs are gigantic beasts that feed on money, which it turns into . . . pretty much the same end product as any other beast." Think Nader is against big money special interests? This cartoon makes a good point. Looks like there are a lot of repentant Nader voters out there.
