Nader | Nader Holds Final Rally

Determined to fight until the very end, Ralph Nader denounced both the Democratic and the Republican parties as corrupt at a rally Monday and assured the crowd that a vote for Nader was not a wasted vote.

Nader spoke a block from Wall Street, across the street from the New York Stock Exchange, and used the location to highlight what he called the excessive influence of corporations over both political parties.

[…]

He had to speak over hecklers at Monday’s rally, who shouted lines like, “Nader is a traitor,” and held up signs that read, “Vanity, thy name is Nader” and others accusing him of being funded by Republicans eager to have him steal votes from Democratic candidate John Kerry.

“The only vote you ever waste is a vote for someone you don’t believe in,” he said.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
