I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country's citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal.
Kos 2002
So what the fuck is Kos doing attacking his own. Ain't progressive vs progressive what we not want to see? Especially after the stellar Obama victory. But no Kos today decided to go there and start bitching at Ralph Nader just cause its a slow news day and he had to post something.
So I ask...What's with the Nader hate. I never voted for Nader (why? cause its useless) but I agree with Nader on The Iraq War, Enviromentalism, Corporate Responsibity, Transparency in Government and everything else.
So what's with the hate?
Nader accomplishments:
Founded:
Citizen Advocacy Center
Women's Policy Center
Center for Justice and Democracy
Citizen Works
Also has written 30 books including "Unsafe at any Speed" which is ranked 38th in the New York Times list of 100 most important journalistic pieces of the 20th Century.
On top of all this Nader has been one of the top Consumer Rights lawyers in this country for 30 years. Has taken on the Auto Mobile Industry, Energy Industry and Media.
Nader Fails
2000 Election. Yeah it was a fuckup. A big fuck up. But how could Nader of known it would happen he ain't fucking nostrodamus. And it was the Supreme Court and Rehnquist who stopped the recount.
So when Kos tells you to hate Nader. Tell him to stop QQ'in. Maybe ask him about the New Politics Institute which a think tank to help elect "Centrist" Democrats and sounds alot like a new version of the DLC to me.
And for fuck sake stop attacking Progressives. We a community lets all get along.
