Calling Washington, D.C., "corporate-occupied territory," consumer advocate Ralph Nader launched his fifth campaign for the presidency Sunday.
"I'm running for president," said Nader in an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." Nader downplayed the impact he might have on the ultimate outcome of the race, saying "if Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form."

the Guy Lombardo of politics.
Did someone just hear Howard Dean’s head explode?
This time around he may be the lessor of three evils.
What if they just merge and become a conglomerate and call themselves "RepublicRATS" or "Demopublicans"?
Wait a minute. Or did they already do that?
I may be very wrong, but I doubt that Ralph Nader draws any more than one-tenth of one percent of the vote.
More like the evil of 3 lessors.
Ralph Nader, unsafe on any ticket!
Oh goody! I liked hearing him basically telling the Rats to F-— off.
absolutely correct..you don’t go 0-10 this late in the game and stay in..she has something up her sleeve that’s going to be a political “nuclear” bomb..IMHO..
What other kooky and inconsequential parties and candidates will get themselves on the ballot? If there’s enough of them hailing from either right or left field they might have some collective impact to that side of the field. -Wb
Now its a four ring circus with a clown in every ring.
Is NY City mayor Bloomburg next?
The word “corporate” is in the first sentence. Got to love it.
Well I’m not voting for John McCain.
So maybe I’ll vote Nadar ‘08. :D
Let’s just hope no conservative (or libertarian) is stupid enough to pull this little stunt. And if one is that stupid, let’s hope that conservative voters are not stupid enough to waste their vote on him. Remember: we’re smarter than the Left.
Nader:.."if Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form."
Nader: "Sen. Hillary Clinton...a "political coward."
Nader: "Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., as "the candidate for perpetual war"
Nader: "Washington, D.C., "corporate-occupied territory..."
Nadar: "All the candidates -- McCain, Obama, and Clinton -- are against single payer health insurance, full Medicare for all," ..wanted to take on the "bloated military budget," labor law reform, repealing the Taft-Hartley Act, and corporate crime."
Nadar: "One feels an obligation to try to open the doorways," ... "Dissent is the mother of assent and in that context I have decided to run for president."
Nadar:...(Obama)"the first liberal evangelist in a long time,"... ran a brilliant tactical campaign but.."pro-Palestine when he was in Illinois, before he ran for the state senate and during his state senate" but now "supporting the Israeli destruction" of Gaza.".."(Obama)as someone whose "better instincts and his knowledge have been censored by himself"
Obama: Nader, a "heroic" figure who "has done as much as just about anybody on behalf of consumers." .. a stubborn egomaniac".
Nader:.. those who would argue against his candidacy are displaying "political bigotry" against "all of us that think that the country needs an infusion of freedom, democracy and choice," suggesting they "should just sit on the sidelines and watch the two political parties own all the voters and turn the government over to big business."
