Nader dives into the "assumptions of a capitalistic system" and our inability to act against corporate crime. "Corporate crime, fraud and abuse have become like the weather; everyone is talking about the storm but no one seems able to do anything about it," he states. Funny, one can really make a case of this with the pResident and global warming...

He presents the details of what he was attempting to say on CNN's CrossFire the previous night amid constant interruption from the Right's young pup, Tucker Carlson. Nader barely got anything in edgewise, with very little support from the exuberant pro-Clinton, Paul Begala. Nader looks like a man on his own beating down the Right's attacks and scorned by the Left in party politics. Tucker's constant badgering and comments like these- "We'll be right back to ask Ralph Nader if he is going run again and ruin another Democratic candidate hopeful's chance of winning!"- truely takes the fun out of a constructive discussion.

Enjoy.
