Ralph Nader... Why Did You Abandon Us?

Ralph Nader used to be a world-class, top notch fellow who fought the good fight and waged countless battles for the regular people. He is an attorney and political activist in the areas of consumer rights, humanitarianism, environmentalism and democratic government. Nader has been a staunch critic of corporations, which he believes wield too much power and are undermining the fundamental American values of democracy and human rights. He helped found many governmental and non-governmental organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

He was a true individual of fine merit and worthy of sincere admiration for his work until he became a crackpot and ran as a spoiler third-party candidate for president. It was through his efforts that Al Gore, a political leader who would have made a difference in issues of science and the environment lost his bid for the presidency to the yahoo we now have in office. Nader's few percentages of votes, especially in the Florida debacle were enough to tip the scales and change history for the worse.

Now the man, who was nearly saintly in his effort to help people will be forever associated with a major downfall in the way of life in our nation. It is so utterly sad and disgraceful.
