Ralph Nader: Latin America
built 227 days ago
"Ralph Nader is an American hero, probably one of the few dozen most important Americans of the last 100 years. Jon Stewart is a comedian with a pretty cool show. He's right to be timid and somewhat deferential."

Strengths: Ralph Nader believes that the U.S. should withdraw from Iraq, which could appeal to Americans who share the same opinion. Nader is ... one of the world's most well-known consumer advocates. He has called attention to issues such as health and safety.

Nader complains that corporations stand in the way of universal healthcare, in essence saying "Pay, or Die!" He says that 18,000 Americans (or 6 times those that died September 11, 2001 by terrorist attack) die each year for lack of being able to pay for healthcare. He calls it "economic terrorism" against the poor, the deprived, and the children.

Critics often say that there is one thing that truly drives Nader: his ego. Ambition. I do not believe that to be true: he is a man, sure, and as such he most likely greatly enjoys positive attention / media coverage, but fame, ego or ambition is not what drives him, it is not what made him dedicate himself to fight - what he perceives to be - injustice. In the end, there is only one thing Nader wants to do: he wants to help his country. He wants to let, as he describes it, America be the democracy she can be and was meant to be.
