Ralph Nader just wants to preserve the natural beauty of this country. And with a little help from George Bush and Dick Cheney -- he gets his wish. Animated cartoon presented by AtomFilms.

In the 2000 campaign, Nader well understood the substantial (or enormous) differences between Bush and Gore. He understood that Bush and Cheney were hard right-wing Republicans. But like many politicians, he could not reveal what he really thought and wanted. So he needed another explanation for staying in all the way in all the states. Nader's claim that Bush and Gore were basically the same was not the motivation for campaigning hard in the swing states, it was the justification for doing that. Ralph Nader exaggerated, distorted, misled, and hid what he really knew and wanted.

Nader has fought for decades to protect American workers and jobs in a way Bush and Kerry can only dream about. "Since January 2001, 2.7 million jobs have been lost, and more than 75 percent of those jobs have been high-wage, high-productivity manufacturing jobs," he says. "By requiring equitable trade, investing in urgently needed local labor-intensive public works [infrastructure improvements] we can reverse this trend and create millions of new jobs."

Nader has devoted his life to consumer advocacy. He worked with lawmakers to create the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Product Safety commission. Consumer protection laws Nader helped draft and pass include the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Meat and Poultry Inspection Rules, the Air and Water Pollution Control Laws and the Freedom of Information Act.

This belief - or better, observation - made Nader say that there is no difference between the Republican Party and the Democrats, between Gore and Bush. Today, many people are angry at Nader for saying this. What these people fail to understand... is not that Gore and Bush would be exactly the same once they were President - obviously, the Democrats are ‘less bad’ in Nader’s view - according to Nader, no, his point was (and is) that both are influenced too much by Big Business and ignore what is truly in the best interest of the average American.
