TYRANT - any person in a position of authority who exercises power oppressively or despotically.
With his sending thousands of soldiers to death, excessive war efforts and choices, and his flagrant overriding the choice of the majority...I truly believe that Bush will first go down in history as the worst US president, and in time, as a tyrant.
Unlike most historical tyrants, though, he was not acting alone.

Things are looking up, actually. Nobody voted for Nader.
I hope the ideas that Ralph's been talking about like:
congressional watchdog groups
public demands for time slot ownership on our TV and radio airwaves, then selling prime time slots to finance true public programming (like debates).
Instant Runoff Voting
become the focus of ALL progressives, regardless of the many factions they may align themselves with (it will benefit them all).
Imagine the effect.

I come from a dictatorship: we have one candidate.
Here, in land of democracy we have two.
So whats the big fuss all about?!!!
Its a shame they do not allow Ralphand Matt participate in the debates.
They are the candidates with a record of getting thing done for the people and have clear definition of change and hope, (not fluff) and are not planning to Obliterate Iran from the map.
So I want to use the media of the people by the people and do this the old fashioned way by volunteering

Truth. It is clear. Nader indicts the Federal Reserve cartel. He lays out grounds for high treason. That my friends is what truthful people do.
2.3 Trillion Dollars was lost by the Pentagon. It was announced because a whistle blower exposed the fraud. It is entirely ignored by YOUR CORRUPT CONGRESS.
The VERY NEXT DAY, the SEC headquarters was vaporized in NYC.
2 innocent countries were invaded for having a CIA dictator and CIA run poppy fields.
Painful truths. We are run by crooks.

WOW! Nader has been instituting change since the 70's. It's ignorant to suggest a struggle for the right candidate is wrong if he doesn't win the 1st x. The next time you're issued a voucher for a missed/cancelled flight, your neighbor gets help with her addiction while pregant, your kid doesn't choke on an unsafe toy, your drinking water is cleaner, your parents got help with a denied pension, you get a Pell Grant, your cigatette doesn't burn your house down you can thank Ralph Nader. JACKASS!

What happened to Nader? It seems as though the liberal corporate media has conspired to keep him off TV. I heard Nader complaining about PBS's Bill Moyers and Terri Gross blacklisting him. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING: THE BIGGEST DESTROYERS OF FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA ARE LIBERALS. I read that there is a move afoot in Missouri that Obama people want the police to arrest people who disagree with Obama. What will things be like if he gets in the White House?

Interestingly, Google was prepared to host its own debate including all ballot-qualified candidates, but Obama refused.
