Ralph Nader Says Obama Is A 'War Criminal' Who Has Been 'More Aggressive' Than George W. Bush (VIDEO)

What "facts" were "omitted"?  And "looking to sound important"?  How?  You need to explain what it is you object to in those articles if you expect to be listened to.  

If you think expecting a president to uphold the Constitution, protect civil liberties and the rule of law isn't a Democrat's trait, then I was correct when I said that Obama/DLC/Third Way/No Labels have been trying to attract Republican voters to the Democratic Party, to turn the Democratic Party into the old Republican Party.

Listen, as long as I've got you-who-claims-to-be-a-Democrat here, perhaps you can answer this -- No other ObamaZombie can:

If Republican­s are such scvm (and I believe they are) and "so dangerous"­, why isn't Obama investigating and prosecutin­g them?

Why isn't Obama investigat­ing and prosecutin­g the greatest heist on the People in all history? 

Why are Obama-Demo­crats continuing the war crimes of BushCheney­, blocking investigat­ions and prosecutio­ns into their crimes?

How does a Democratic president, on the heels of the most criminally corrupt administra­tion in the nation's history, not replace Bush-era US attorneys? Presidents may fire US attorneys, and they do so routinely at the beginning of a new administra­tion. It is unusual to fire US attorneys in mid-term (as Bush did) except in cases of gross misconduct (which wasn’t the case during the BushAdmini­stration). Instead of returning the democracy to the American people, Obama's AttorneyGe­neral has US attorneys going after whistleblowers, legalized medicinal marijuana in the states and Bush-style obscenity prosecutions.

Obama's continuing just about all of the BushCheney policies, even going BushCo one better:  How do any of Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' explain Obama's doctrine that presidents have the right to kill American citizens with no due process, no oversight, and 'indefinite preventive detention' and no transparen­cy of anything a president asserts should be his secret?  It's Pure Kafka.  

How do Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' explain his putting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' care, et al, on the table for benefits' cuts?  

As a Democrat, I don't know how any Democrat can get behind this.  How do Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' explain all that to themselves­?  How do you?

How do you figure that?

Gore voted for the first Gulf War.  The Powers That Be wanted a war - Democrats voted for it.  

And Bush would have won whether Nader was in the race or not - There were 179,000 perfectly readable ballots that weren't counted.  Jeb Bush's purging scheme.  CIA tampering with absentee ballots.  Have you really forgotten all of the different ways that Republicans gamed that election and Democrats sat by and let it happen?

Nader's doesn't nearly go far enough.

How do any of Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' explain Obama's doctrine that presidents have the right to kill American citizens with no due process, no oversight, NDAA, and his push for 'indefinite preventive detention' and no transparen­cy of anything a president asserts should be his secret?  It's Pure Kafka.

I don't know how any Democrat can get behind this.

Ralph Nader Says Obama Is A 'War Criminal' Who Has Been 'More Aggressive' Than George W. Bush (VIDEO)

Nader's right, and as an old, OLD liberal Democrat I don't know how any Democrat can support what Obama's done.

Two articles that speak that I think are must reads for Democratic voters are John Cusack's Interview of Law Professor Jonathan Turley About the Obama Administration's War on the Constitution and journalist Russell Mokhiber's Ten Reasons I'm Not With Barack Obama.

Obama's Consumer Protection Agency has done more this year, than Ralph in his career.

=====================================

Ralph Nader has done more to improve the quality of your life, of all of our lives, than anyone in government­.

Nader is responsibl­e for consumers having rights, for clean and safe products, and the tragedy is that tr0LLs like you don't even realize you owe your life to him.

Ralph Nader Says Obama Is A 'War Criminal' Who Has Been 'More Aggressive' Than George W. Bush (VIDEO)

Had Nader gotten out of the 2000 race we wouldn't be looking at this now.

============================

Nader-bashing again?

Nader didn't do anything to Gore that HarryBrowne, PatBuchanan, HowardPhillips, et al (other party candidates) didn't also do, yet you don't hear them being blamed.  Gore and Bush weren't owed other party's voters, and studies have shown that Nader pulled more votes from Bush than from Gore.

You presume that Nader voters would've voted for Gore (or voted at all) when studies and exit polling have indicated that's not the case.  

Had Nader not run Bush still would've won because Republicans had gamed that election more ways than we're ever going to know about.  You might as well blame PatBuchanan with the same vigor and vitriole.

AlGore won.  Gore got more votes in Florida.  Any way it was counted (and the biggest point that people seem to forget is that there were 179,000 perfectly readable ballots that never got counted), Gore got more votes than Bush.
 
Whatever the means necessary to get BushCheney into the WhiteHouse would've happened.  Had Nader not run, the outcome would've been the same.  The powers that be were not going to let Gore win, no matter what, and they gamed it innumerable ways.

If the means for getting BushCheney into the WhiteHouse required a close election and Nader not been running, some other means would've been used.

For pity's sake, the CIA was working on GOP absentee ballots in the weeks leading up to election day in Florida.  That was the most amazing revelation from the televised court hearings in the post-election days in Florida --  'CharlesKane' testified to altering absentee ballots in the MartinCounty's Registrar's office in the two week period prior to election day (it's against the law and should render the ballots null and void).  When Kane was sworn in, he had to identify himself and give his occupation and employer. Retired CIA.  The judge asked him why he was altering the absentee ballots, and he answered "I go where I'm told."  Verbatim quote.  The judge didn't follow up.  There was next to no news coverage of this, and none by the networks.

Have you forgotten JebBush's vote purging scheme?

Have people really forgotten all the different ways that that election was gamed by the GOP?  And that's just in Florida.  And just the ways that we learned about because of legal proceedings in the post-election days.

There was a coup d'etat in America in 2000.  A bIoodless coup, but a coup nonetheless.  

And Democrats suppressed investigations, and then screwed over the CongressionalBlackCaucus's attempts to expose that stolen election.

Obama May Do Social Security Reform During Lame Duck Session, Senate Democrats Worry

What makes Obama's most ardent supporters think he and Democrats would be any more successful achieving on our behalf in a second term?  More importantly, should Obama win, what do his supporters believe that Obama will say he has a mandate to do?  In his first term, he didn't do anything that he pledged to do in the 2008 campaign.  As a matter of fact, he flip-flopped on just about every promise.  

After the 2010 midterms, do you recall what Obama said that election's mandate was?  "More of the same", "more bipartisanship", more caving to Republicans, watering down legislation to satisfy conservatives.  It was in that lame duck session that Obama prevented Bush's tax cuts for the rich from expiring, and set Social Security up for failure with the payroll tax holiday (which was to be temporary, but it's been extended once already).

Do you know what Obama said he'd do if re-elected to a second term?:

Explaining this spring how he would manage to enact his agenda in a second term, Obama was still looking forward to sitting down and cutting deals. This time, he said, Republicans would be nicer because he’s not running for re-election.

Obama's either corrupt or he's the very definition of 'insanity', "doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different outcome".  Or his supporters are.
 
Whether it's Obama Watering Down Regulations More Than Bush, Study Shows, or making Americans more enemies by stepping up drone attacks on sovereign nations, or instituting Simpson-Bowles as he's expected to do, or pushing the job-outsourcing Trans-Pacific free trade treaty through like he did with the S. Korea and Colombia and Panama treaties, how is any of that good for us or any different than what Romney would do?

Obama May Do Social Security Reform During Lame Duck Session, Senate Democrats Worry

When you start on the right, which is where Simpson-Bowles is and what Obama intends to use as the template, the only direction to go is farther to the right.  It sets up the premise that our fiscal policy shall be framed as a "debt crisis", and that the solution is "austerity" which must be shared by all.  That's the "mandate" that will come out of this election.  It's bs, and it's not anything that I'm going to consent to with my vote.

Anybody who doesn't realize that hasn't been paying attention.
