Ralph Nader should be the next American president. He should've been president in 2000. All of his beliefs are a little idealistic but in working towards idealism we will get something much better than what we have today. I have realized that he is right about the corporate run America with the lack of fortitude against corporations from Barack Obama. The Democrats and Republicans are far to similar. We need a third party, non-corporate funded, candidate to take the helm. I don't care what party you support... educate yourself, do the research, and make a decision about what is best for the country and the world from an objective viewpoint. I have changed my beliefs from being a neo-liberal, socially liberal person to an independent who thinks about each issue logically, Nader's views are spot on... Please have an open mind.
The smartest people in the world are ones who are willing to examine all sides of an issue from all different perspective. As someone who as been on all sides of the ideological spectrum I have a great respect for multiple viewpoints.
Here are some youtube links to Nader videos, they are slightly subjective so feel free to post links to retorts that are from the opposite view points... he isn't on the major cable networks often because they have blacked him out for the most part. He also dominates all of his opponents in debates and I guarantee would beat both Obama and Mccain in a one on one debate. The two party system fails to grant him this opportunity.
