Nevertheless, when I look over the choices (Obama is not getting my vote as planned; the bailout bill scolding of the American people was the last straw).
"Nader voices displeasure on passage of bailout plan
Count Ralph Nader out of the crowd relieved that Congress passed and President Bush signed the financial bailout package yesterday.
"The whole thing was a special interest boondoggle, around the core of a $700 billion blank check," Nader told the Globe.
The longtime consumer activist, waging a long-shot presidential campaign for the third consecutive election, asserted that the legislation does not have any comprehensive regulations to stop the Wall Street crisis from happening again, offers no guarantee that taxpayers will get their $700 billion stake back, does not make clear how the bailout will be financed, and was larded up with huge tax breaks and other goodies.
Yeah, no kidding: Tax Cut For Banks in Bailout Bill
Instead, Nader supports a Wall Street speculation tax, starting on derivatives, that he says would generate enough money to eliminate federal taxes on the first $50,000 of income. Nader, who plans a rally at 11 a.m. tomorrow at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, predicted that frustrated voters will go after members of Congress who voted for the package. "They're drinking champagne, they've got their pens from Bush, but when they go back home, wait for the hornets nest," he said in a phone interview.
DAMN RIGHT WE WILL -- if we don't LYNCH THEM FIRST!!!!!!!!! Maybe THEN the fucking lying looters will HEAR US!!!!!
And IF NOT... get another rope ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that anger, Nader said, will boost his campaign. "It's a big door for us," he said. ". . . If voters want someone who did them in, they can vote for Obama or McCain (Boston Globe)."
I am PROOF of THAT!!!
