Ralph
Nader Enters Presidential Race

WASHINGTON (Feb. 24) - Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run
for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House
contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will
"shift the power from the few to the many."



?



Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the
Democratic and Republican parties due to a prolonged Iraq war and a shaky
economy. The consumer advocate also blamed tax and other corporate-friendly
policies under the Bush administration that he said have left many lower- and
middle-class people in debt.



"You take that framework of people feeling locked out, shut out,
marginalized and disrespected," he said. "You go from Iraq, to
Palestine to Israel, from Enron to Wall Street, from Katrina to the bumbling of
the Bush administration, to the complicity of the Democrats in not stopping him
on the war, stopping him on the tax cuts."



"In that context, I have decided to run for president," Nader told
NBC's "Meet the Press."

Nader also criticized Republican candidate John McCain and
Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton for failing to support full
Medicare for all or cracking down on Pentagon waste and a "bloated military
budget. He blamed that on corporate lobbyists and special interests, which he
said dominate Washington, D.C., and pledged in his third-party campaign to
accept donations only from individuals.



"The issue is do they have the moral courage, do they have the fortitude
to stand up to corporate powers and get things done for the American
people," Nader said. "We have to shift the power from the few to the
many."
