Ralph Nader may be the most polarizing figure in American politics. In 2000, he lost many allies and friends because of his decision to run for president. In 2004 he cemented the hatred of many liberal Democrats while some Americans stood firm that he had the right to run, whatever the popular opinion. However, Nader used to be one of the most loved figures in America. He fought for protections we now take for granted; airbags, seatbelts, even the air we breathe. Who is this man that inspires such passion? Find out how the leader of the modern consumer movement and champion of American citizenship fell from grace. Hero or villain? Crusader or spoiler? Right or wrong? You decide.

I find this side of American politics funny. Everyone was complaining both the Democrats and Republicans were too similar during the Gore - Bush elections (they weren't that similar) but when a third candidate tries to improve things (in his mind) he's lambasted.
I guess over simplifying the party system is a good way to not have to think much about politics. Just pick a colour and move on.
