[Dialogue] Eight more years?

[Carlos R. Zervigon]

Hello all

 

A few of my colleagues on this list serve were adamant about Nader. Some are
no longer with us. It did not remove my appreciation for our friendship but
it deeply pained me. I died a thousand deaths about Nader's participation.
All of those who want to blame Gore or who then said it made no difference
should by now see that it made a horrible difference. I remember discussions
way back in our time on the west side about the fallacy of maintaining some
illusional personal integrity and in so doing letting the public good go to
hell. Ralph Nader moved from being a committed public servant to being an
egoistic maniac. He personally is responsible for the unbelievable disaster
of the last eight years and that overshadows anything else he did. His
life's work was finally global tragedy. Those are harsh words but he is
deserving of them. He has never admitted that he contributed to the Bush
disaster. To me he is much worse than irrelevant

With all due respect, David, Al Gore lost the election on his own, unable to
carry either Arkansas or Tennessee, either of which would have given him the
votes regardless of the Florida outcome.  Do you believe that Hillary, (or
the Clinton team) represents the highest and best hopes of the progressive
movement.  I surely do not.

That said, what did you find to disagree with in Nader's piece?

With all due respect to Dick, Ralph rantings as a third party
candidate in 2000  enabled the installation of George W bush as
President. If Ralph had not been in the race Gore would have won in
Florida and there would have been no need for a recount or a decision
of the uS Supreme Court. I have zero miunus none respect for Ralph.
