Ralph Nader Book Review.

[Mike S]

Ralph Nader, A friend to many young, disillusioned democrats (or should I say taking advantage of?) as well as a music to the ears of every republican on Earth (oh THAT Ralph..the one that cost Gore the election...) has a new book out that's right up there with Michael Moores in containing mountains of information...most of it pulled straight out of thin air.. but hey.. what do I care. The more of you who believe it..the more of you who vote green, the more votes you peel from democrats..the more republicans win. The happier I am.

Here's that review..

And remember my young comrades...VOTE GREEN!

mike, how bout if you read the book and do your own review, instead of depending on others'?

Hex I was looking forward to reading it and doing a review but I didnt know that they would keep Nader's book in the comedy section so I never found it.
Or maybe because its much easier these days to come across a piece like this as well as the one on Michael Moore that tells it like it is much better than I.

Whatever Mike.
You can make as many wise cracks as you want but that still won't make it seem as though you're truly thinking for yourself.
Why bother researching anything when loudmouth partisaned political critics can do it for you?
Even tho I wholly disagree with guys like Limbaugh and Gingrich, I still take the time to read their books and decide for myself.
If you're gonna disagree with Nader that's fine (hell, I'm not much of a fan of him anymore anyway), but at least know WHY you're disagreeing with him first hand instead of simply taking someone else's word for it.

Roddimus I've suffered through a Nader speaking appearance and as I thumbed through this book I realized it was just the same bullshit.. and thats what is..bullshit.. that he drones on about in person and is repeated almost verbatum and ad nauseum by so many people who supposedly "think for themselves". I'm sorry Roddimus but when I hear people repeating most of this stuff the first thing I feel for them is pitty. Seriously..That an otherwise intelligent, mostly young human being can be so utterly brain dead is just amazing and pathetic.

Nader's book as well as Moore's book are nothing more than coffee table books for mostly young, empty headed fools who want to impress their empty headed friends when they come over for a visit and who occasionally open them up to memorize the convenient rhetorical statements and phrases so they can sound informed when they repeat them at parties or when posting them on NWTekno or in some other such situation where chanting the sacred wacko-left rhetorical mantras is deemed necessary. And you know what is said about dis-information, propaganda and lies.. repeat them enough and they will become the truth...of course that's something I never bought into .. I think it just makes the person repeating the rhetoric a liar and an idiot.

Way more democrats voted for Bush than voted for Nader. It's just that the idea of dissent really peeves some people, so we all have to deal with a decade or so of Nader-bashing. Because, hey, between Bush and Gore, *everybody* can find some great, totally distinguishable takes on issues to stand behind. How can anybody not be satisfied? Boo, Nader!!

Fuck Nader. I don't care about anything.
