There was a time when I (and most Americans, I think) admired Ralph Nader for the righteous battles he fought on behalf of consumers, and his single-minded focus and plain speaking style.
I didn't begrudge his Presidential run in 2000, although his continued insistence that Gore and Dubya were no different from each other, and that the country would have been no better off under Gore just made him seem like a stubborn old goat.
I began to tire of him when it seemed like he would show up every four years to run for President without having taken the time in between to build a grassroots campaign, invest in a party organization, or support any candidates for local and state office.
This Nader interview on Fox News today has finally convinced me that Nader should fade away before he forever tarnishes his image and becomes the butt of jokes nationwide.
