Ralph Nader: Don’t fall for lie on ‘job-killing regulations’

[Galraedia]

"Masters of the lying sound bite, the craven congressional Republicans are feasting on the health and safety of the American people with gleeful greed while making the corporate and trade association media swoon. “Job-killing regulations” exudes daily from the mouths of Speaker John Boehner, his Wall Street-licking sidekick Eric Cantor and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Then all the way down the line, the Republicans are on cue are bellowing “job-killing regulations” must be revoked or stopped aborning over at OSHA (protecting workers), EPA (protecting clean air and water), FDA (safer drugs and food), and NHTSA (making your vehicle safer). Imagine how much more civil servants could do to accomplish the statutory missions of their respective agencies if they could get the Republicans and their corporate paymasters off their backs........."

1. Maybe if Nader wanted to prevent deregulation, he shouldn't have gotten Bush into office.

I dare say we would have had a very different ten years without the fucking Shrub.

2. You give the SCOTUS so little credit... nt

11. funny how hard they try to absolve Jeb, Katherine Harris, the Felonious Five

funny, that...

13. The 2000 election would never have gone to the courts without Nader.

An extra few hundred thousand votes in Florida and today Dubya would be an ex-governor of Texas and failed Presidential candidate. Not to mention there would have been no 9/11, no wars in Afghanistan or Iraq, the economy wouldn't have crashed, and a million plus people would still be alive.

4. I doubt that

Nader voted for Bush-Cheney.

5. Discredited, try again n/t

[Taverner]

7. That was over ten years ago

Give it a rest

9. Like a broken record, the spin is pathetic.

The SCOTUS decided the 2000 elections...sadly some people want to lie and say it was Nader's fault and not the traitorous Bush Dems that did us in.

15. Not that again... OK here goes...

Since when was Gore entitled to any of the votes Nader got?

Have you asked even one person who voted for Nader in 2000 why they picked Nader instead of Gore?

They had a reason for rejecting Gore and choosing Nader, and you don't have the right to second-guess them.

16. Blame Buchannan too

Thanks to the butterfly ballot, lots of people made a mistake and voted for Pat instead of Al.

[Uncle Joe]

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Galraedia.

8. President Gore would not have fallen for that lie

But since there was no President Gore it matters not.

10. Regulations keep capitalism healthy and vibrant.

What we have now is a perverted form of plutocracy.

14. How come the Corsair was the only car considered unsafe enough for Nader to comment on? In history!
