www.richardarsenault.com ! Featuring most of a speech Nader made in his 2000 campaign. The questions from the audience have been edited out because they were hard to hear. No content has been deleted. I will keep this posted for historical perspective. I produced and directed this no-budget doc. © 2000, 2008 Right-Film Inc. 9 “Eight years ago, consumer advocate Ralph Nader correctly predicted that the Federal Inhabitant Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) were on track to stay on the savings and loan industry of the 1980s and 90s into a huge financial heap of distress. Nobody listened, and taxpayers are now at risk of losing tens of billions of dollars. Wall Road is being shaken to its foundation. American International Group Inc., the largest US insurer by assets, is now teetering on the verge of ruin after suffering losses of $18 billion in the past three quarters, largely due to its sub prime mortgage exposure.” — The Nation 9/16
Listen to his message from 9 years ago…
The issues have not altered.
His predictions came right.
What’s next for America, Ralph? You’ve been largely accurate — one of the only biased candidates who can claim that.
Tom Tomorrow!
nader is the man!
Jello is a fantastic activist in his own way, but he is not and should not be a politician. But yes, I respect his work and I like Dead Kennedys a lot.
Yeah, I presume Nader would be better at representing the interests of the American people than Jello. Not to say that he isn’t awesome though.
Jello was going for the Green Party nomination as well but then chose to support Nader. (Wise scale.)
Awesome, DK were incredible.
Is the following guy guy Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys?
Gore doesn’t even see it that way.
A Vote for Nader Is A Vote for Nader!
Nader is a genius, the two parties do get worse every four years and now fully take everyone for granted. Instead of change for the better, they just use the lowered bar from each failure to justify being more careless with our country.
There’s no communists here in America, only Americans. you voted for Bush in 04 and watch Fox news, huh? yeah, bet you can’t figgure me out as well as that.

Do you have a source for that nonsense?
Because the vast majority of communists and anarcho-syndicalists are voting for nosama bin biden.
If third party candidates were not running I would not be voting, so how is my vote for Ralph a vote for McCain/Palin?
I don’t know why you call me a socialist- I’m a democratic LOL. I’m just not for corrupt, two-party systems, thanks.
You should probably stop voting for candidates who take you for granted.
What socialist fantasy world are YOU living in?
You need to get off that ***** pipe!
A vote for McBama is a vote for FISA, continuing the wars, invading other countries, wasted government spending, not upholding the constitution, and continuation of the undemocratic election laws that are biased against non-Republicrats.
Third Parties/Independents are talking about uniting on key issues! Paul, Nader, McKinney, Barr, Baldwin
This is posted for historical perspective.
A vote for Ralph is a vote for mcCain/Palin
The Repubs like ya
Whats incorrect with saying that? Unfortunately Obama is building his thoughts more uniform and mainstream so as not to offend certain constituents…he is known to be much more candid about certain issues, on which he has “played safe” whilst campagning.
I don’t reckon it was intended to be a derogatory remark…just let Obama be himself.
I concur, thus only proving my point, its useless for Nader to run
Let’s not be so trite. It’s a wasted vote due to an outdated voting logic that favors large party candidates. One of many problems that will never be addressed by sticking with the current two parties…
Nader is GOP, he runs as a spoiler taking liberal votes from dems, by splitting the dem vote a small, and then conceding, he spoils the race. Nobody ever mentions that he never runs to the end, he jumps out early every time, NADER IS A WASTED VOTE!
