RALPH THE TRAITOR AT IT AGAIN

It has become a four year tradition, Ralph Nader, former consumer rights advocate, and present presidential race spoiler, when off on Barack Obama, in what can only be expected to be the first of many jabs at Obama, and the Democratic party as a whole....
"There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American," Nader told the paper in comments published Tuesday.
"Whether that will make any difference, I don't know. I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We'll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards," Nader added.
"I mean, first of all, the number one thing that a black American politician aspiring to the presidency should be is to candidly describe the plight of the poor, especially in the inner cities and the rural areas, and have a very detailed platform about how the poor is going to be defended by the law, is going to be protected by the law and is going to be liberated by the law," he said. "Haven't heard a thing."
Nader also said Obama is making a concerted effort not to be "another politically threatening African-American politician." "He wants to appeal to white guilt. You appeal to white guilt not by coming on as black is beautiful, black is powerful. Basically, he's coming on as someone who is not going to threaten the white power structure, whether it's corporate or whether it's simply oligarchic. And they love it. Whites just eat it up."
So, what on earth is this man doing? His few, but powerful, vote support in Florida during the 2000 Presidential election all but cost Al Gore the Presidency, and look where we are today for it.... Eight years of George Bush (the ignorant voters did have a little to do with it, I know), and all of the negatives amidst the execution of his moronic vision and direction he had for this country.
Realizing this, does he pick up the gauntlet and attack John McBush, erstwhile Republican candidate running for President on virtually a campaign of "four more years?" No. He slams Barack Obama for being an empty black shell of a man (at least half black he dutifully noted) who refuses to "represent" his black heritage and fight against the issues uniquely plaguing the black community.
Is he so deluded, so starved for attention to the extent that he would focus his attentions on losing yet another Presidential campaign for the liberals, whose causes so closely mirrors his own? Is he so brain-dead that he would even think of pushing John McCain even a foot closer to Pennsylvania Avenue? This guy is Bob Barr without the brains or charisma. This guy, Ralph Nader, formerly the crusader for the common man, has completely gone off the deep end and turned his back on the very people he has spent a lifetime protecting. Yet, he polls in the 4 to 5% in some states, and as we all saw in 2000, 5% can make a huge difference in an election. Lord help us, Nader the traitor is combing the press corps looking for someone to listen. And, as long as Rev. Wright and Rev. Hagee have completely kept quiet, the press will listen. He is, for all intents and purposes, the press corps crackpot du jour.
