25. Gee, I see you're substituting vulgarity and shock for actual intelligent thought and discourse,

Why does that not surprise me.

Oh, and speaking of Nader, since you brought him up, I thought you might like to read this piece by him.
""There was something missing from the release of a tape showing Mitt Romney pandering to fat cats in Boca Raton, Florida with these very inflammatory words: “There are 47 percent who are with him, (Obama) who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. These are people who pay no income tax.” Romney said his job “is not to worry about those people.”

Hey, Mitt, why start with the 47 percent? Fully 100 percent of the nation’s 500 biggest corporations are dependent on various kinds of corporate welfare – subsidies, giveaways, bailouts, waivers, and other dazzling preferences – while many pay no tax at all on very substantial profits"

Ooo, I see the sparks flying now, as your neural circuits overload and start to short out.
