"Dear Dubya"... Drop Dead?

Post by Riddick » 01-05-2014 01:51 PM

"When you were a candidate, I called you a corporation running for the Presidency masquerading as a human being. In time you turned a metaphor into a reality. As a corporation, you express no remorse, no shame, no compassion and a resistance to admit anything other than that you have done nothing wrong."

Mr Nader,is obviously unaware that the Obama, DOJ made sure that Mr Bush was forgiven for his "sins", as the current President is committing the same "sins" and just doesn't want to be "interrupted" in doing so.

I recognize this is completely off topic but Ralph just comes across as no darn fun - I hardly ever pay attention to anything he has to say.

Nah, I think that Ralph was a force - at one time. I think his time has passed. As Doka noted, Obama gave 43 et al a pass and granted immunity. If Nader didn't know this - he should have. Either that's sloppy on his part, or he's just too biased, and it shows....

I stil say that ever since the 1990s with Clinton, and the GOP going after him the way they did entirely changed the political landscape in this country. Does that excuse what Clinton did? Of course not, but at the same time, the GOP should have remembered the lesson about people living in glass houses. Now we've just sunk to the lowest common denominator.......

Kbot,

I remember the five pm news coming on and the announcer said "if you have small children in the room I would caution you to turn this off or ask them to leave as the content is adult".

My point being either party would have run with that one - honestly can you imagine the Dems giving that a pass with a Republican Prez? No way.

They all know one another's dirty laundry and each party brings it our at what they consider their appropriate timing.

I hear ya. Political parties would rather govern by soap opera than actually accomplish anything - both sides are equally guilty.

Insomuch the man's looking at becoming a octogenarian next month, seems to me Ralph's earned the right to BE more than a bit biased, hasn't he?

Sure, he's one to readily rake Dubya over the coals, but it's not like no one with him on the Hard Left ISN'T already prone to doing that... yet in contrast to many if not most of those others bashing Bush ad infinitum, what IS quite novel about Nader is how he'll seldom pass up opportunities to dole out similar serious scorn for W's successor -!!Last but certainly not least? In recently taking critical aim at the PPACA, the long-time consumer crusader claims "costly complexity is baked into" the President's signature health care law... as well and no less noteworthy, from "Challenging Obamacare" -
In 2010, Ralph Nader called Obamacare a sellout to Big PhAMA and other healthcare giants, saying:
  • It doesn’t “provide universal, comprehensive or affordable care to the American people. It shovels hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money (to predators that) created the problem.”

    “It requires no contractual accountability or other benefits for people denied coverage under a pay-or-die system that’s the disgrace of the Western world.”

    There’s no public option. Millions are left uninsured, millions more underinsured, and as poverty increases, so will their ranks exponentially.

    “There’s (also) no free choice of doctor and hospital under this. There’s all kinds of exploit(ive provisions to let) health insurance (and drug) companies continue their ravenous ways over people who are (the) most vulnerable….when they’re sick or injured.”

or... he is not biased at all, and you are just assuming he is because of party li(n)es. He is not dumb, what he said in his quote was 100% accurate. The fact that Obama is also a criminal does nothing to diminish this statement.

Criminals in the White House? Fancy that. And Congress, well, we know what a great bunch THEY are eh!

It might be an oversimplification to say Washington is corrupt to the core... though not THAT much of one.

Is it not common practice for new prezzes to dismiss charges against former ones? Ford pardoned Nixon... any others?

This is how you keep the crime syndicate rolling.

Absolve your predecessor? Check. Continue his policies and add to them? Check. Lie to the public on a regular basis? Check.

Leave it to the Crime Syndicate of America to keep things running smoothly - "Forever Evil" isn't just their motto, it's their lifestyle.
