Truest statement of the week II

Strong labor laws facilitating unions, strong consumer protections, environmental, foreign, military policy -- all these are not being addressed in a way that a majority of people in this country want them addressed. The majority of people in this country want single-payer health insurance. They want a living wage. They want to get out of Iraq. They want a lot of things that we stand for, and the other side -- (Sens. John) McCain and (Barack) Obama -- are either against it or ignore it. They don't want to talk about it.

-- Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader explaining to David Shieh's "Nader prepares to campaign in Austin" (Austin American-Statesman) what he's running for.
