(135,425 posts)We all knew where Gore was coming from, from his wife with the music lyric parental notifications, to his environmental enthusiasms, to his blind spots--like moving huge chunks of DOD administration to his home state.
Nader came off like Mister Sack Cloth and Ashes, Mister "I Live Like a Poor Monk Because I Have No Assets" when he was -- and continues to -- rake it in.
He also continues to do the GOP's bidding. See, here he is, ragging on POTUS when he knows full well that Congress controls, oversees and funds the District--NOT the President: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/ralph-nader-general-strike_n_1639111.html
Anything to make it all about the Democratic candidate for the President. Anything at all. You'd think if he really cared about this issue, he'd also talk to the guy who controls where the funding and laws originate--our buddy Orange Bonehead--and try to, just a little bit, hold HIS feet to the fire. But no--it's gotta be all about Barack, the guy he actually--without any shame at all-- called an Uncle Tom. http://themoderatevoice.com/24118/the-incredible-shrinking-ralph-nader-his-uncle-tom-remark-about-obama/
He's not even subtle. He's a nasty tool of the GOP.
