Heh heh...

Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader slammed Democratic politicians for failing to take President Bush to task on a host of issues including the war in Iraq...

Well, I guess Nader watched a different primary and election race than I did.

urged progressives and liberals to fire up their fervor and "reactivate the anti-war movement."

By "anti-war movement", the Jew-hating Arab lawyer means "anti-Israel, blame America" movement. I don't think it's completely gone (other than in the head), it's just not as popular as Nader likes to dream the movement against Vietnam was. I guess he missed the fact that the DNC wanted and got an ex-member of VVAW as its candidate.

"the quagmire in Iraq ... $300 billion to destroy a nation in the name of liberating them."

If the US had wanted to destroy Iraq, Iraq would have been erased from the map. By this time in the Democratic Party's Vietnam war -- during which time the US operated in only half of the country, the northern part having been designated a separate regime -- there were far more than 1200 US KIA, no end in sight, no plan for any end, no plan for achieving victory...

"If you cannot beat a president ... that plunged our nation into a war that was unconstitutional, what good are you? What do you expect to give the American people," he said of the Democrats.

For that matter, if you can't figure out what it means to be constitutional vs unconstitutional, and keep listening to self-important a-holes who also don't know the difference, and oppose candidates based on their party brand name, what good are you? What do you expect to give the American people?

Republicans, Nader said, "taunt liberals, they taunt liberalism."

By taunt, Nader means "utterly ignore the concerns of". Most of the frustration of the brain-dead partisan hacks more often known as liberals comes from their growing awareness that they are no longer in charge, and never were in the majority, having to rely on gerrymandering, ballot-box-stuffing, packed courts, lawsuits, and other Soviet-style tricks.

I'm reminded here of the late Sam Kinison, who in his standup once berated the long-dead deposed leader of the USSR, Khruschev, by quoting his shoe-banging speech at the UN. "'Communism is the wave of the future!' Yeah? Here's the wave. So long. Nice try."

"If you go through political processes with low expectations, there are a lot of politicians who will accommodate you," Nader said, criticizing the party's presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

Political analysts are puzzled by Nader's continuous decline in popularity. [smirk]

B. O. Plenty speaks.

The trouble with most of the left is they know so little about the military, that they really don't understand just how powerful the US military is.
