Just a little late there Ralph. The Democrats Socialists abandonded ideals, morals, religion and anything sacred a long time ago.

What ideals? Is Nader referring to corrupt big-city politics, or segregation? Those are two big features of the Democrats' past.

Wow... what a scanty turnout for Ralph Nader in Soviet Seattle. I expected more. The times are definitely changing for the better and no more so than the sight of the Left turning on each other. I love it!

Denny Crane: "I look to two things: First to God and then to Fox News."

The Democrat Party has become the personification of evil!
The no longer stretch the truth they out right lie and laugh about it. To vote Democrat you have to be loyal to a party or outright illiterate

Nader accused Democrats of abandoning their liberal ideals by failing to oppose the war or champion the causes of the working class and the poor, minorities and the environment.

Nader=Democrats=Socialists

On the other hand, by historical standards, most union workers are now rich--so much for the downtrodden workers.

Which historical standards are you going by? How many "rich" union workers, by workers I mean workers not management working for a union company, do you know personally. I worked in a union shop for 35 years and never got rich. What I did get was health insurance, the right to not get fired because my eyes were not the right color and the right to turn down working on my days off if I chose not to. These were just some of the benefits for working Union. I did receive more pay than non-union workers working the same jobs in other places but that is hardly being rich.

I really think a lot of you have the wrong opinion about Unions and the people working in them. MOST union workers I personally know, do not vote the Union party, which is Democrat as we all know, but vote the party, usually republican, that they wish.

Instead of slamming Unions and others on here all the time you might want to see if any of them are, or have been, union and what they think. A union conservative is just as valuble as a non union conservative and far more valuble than a Democrat of any kind.

It is possible to make people switch sides when you blindly, like libs, chant rhetoric you have heard and come to believe over the years. Unions were necessary in this country and still are if people are to get decent pay and medical insurance through their employees instead of being stuck by corps like Wal-mart, who force their people to work overtime, in some states, without pay. Ok, enough but maybe you could be more careful and try to be less liberal with your biases.

Nader accused Democrats of abandoning their liberal ideals by failing to oppose the war or champion the causes of the working class and the poor, minorities and the environment. He also complained of Democratic efforts to keep him off ballots in various states.

Anyone doubt that he considered the latter to be a more egregious sin than the former?

Before you can abandon a ship, you must be on it. Otherwise you are all wet before you even start.

Once again, Nader's waaay off.
