The Nadir Of Human Existence

Ralph Nader can't get any lower, nor will he shut his trap about what miserable pieces of shit George W. Bush et al. were.
President Obama will be at the dedication, continuing to legitimize Mr. Bush, as he did from the outset by announcing in 2009 there would be no investigations or prosecutions of the Bush officials for their crimes.

In an interview with the New York Times, Mr. Bush continued to say he has no regrets about his Presidency. “I’m comfortable with what I did,” he said, “I’m comfortable with who I am.” He added, “Much of my presidency was defined by things that you didn’t necessarily want to have happen.”

But he and Dick Cheney made them happen, although Mr. Bush attributed some military events to Providence. One of the “things” he is comfortable with was his criminal, unconstitutional invasion and occupation of Iraq, which took over one million Iraqi lives – children, women and men – created 5 million refugees and committed overall sociocide on that country which posed no threat to the U.S. The carnage continues to this day by a militarized al-Qaeda-in-Iraq that didn’t exist before his invasion.
Remind us, Ralph. Who made Bush-Cheney happen, & why would Gore-Lieberman have been the same/as bad? (OK, "Lieberman" would be a good answer, but the dynamic there was not like Bush-Cheney.)

Nader didn't make Obama do this.

Or this.

Thunder--Can you really call Kiriakou a whistleblower when every word he said about waterboarding--other than its existence--was a lie designed to make it sound rarely used and effective? And did Nader really have nothing to do with it? If Gore had been inaugurated (I don't say if he had been elected since he was) there wouldn't have been any waterboarding at all.

Coincidence: I just got a Happy Earth Day email from old Al (or from his fleet of robots). Happy Earth Day to you all, and Mr. Nader too!
