Ralph Nader for President? Is he Outdated?

I am so disgusted with the pool of current elected U.S. mainstream officials that I was seriously considering Ralph Nader for President and checked up his issues after seeing him on CNN but I notice that his running mate is some Gonzalez and many of Nader's issues aren't pressing to the American people and the U.S. Nader is talking about Affirmative Action ? Affirmative Action in the U.S. was back handed-it helped everyone but blacks. White women benefited and continue to be the largest welfare/Affirmative Action group followed by Hispanic immigrants and Barrack Obama(who got his share and wants to now change it.) Blacks need to wake up and stop this knee-jerk reaction to anyone who says they will expand Affirmative Action.

Secondly, he is talking about Agriculture and the corporate "lands grabs" of farm land and "take overs" by big corporations from family farmers. My ancestors were French farmers and free black/Choctaws who farmed, dating back to the late 1700's in French owned Louisiana. I took up agriculture/horticulture for 4 years in college and the farming industry in the U.S. has always discouraged blacks from farming, taken land for big oil drilling in rural America and maintained some of the most racist, race-based lending practices in modern U.S. history-BUT this isn't of concern to most Americans. Americans do not care how they get food and only get suspicious when the U.S. government starts poisoning their children with toxic produce from Mexico and then the FDA blocks "nation of origin" labels but this still is an issue that Americans are 15 years behind in investigating .
Third, Americans are sick of hearing about Israel . Most Americans think that there is some very rich Jewish lobbying group that buys U.S. politicians and this is the reason why we have a blind policy in favor of Israel which looks more and more like an apartheid state. I visited Israel in 1996 and I can say that all of those Russians, Canadians, and South Americans walking around Israel aren't really Jewish. Half of them are atheist and Israel just wanted people with white skin to out number the Arabs(in my view) but they weren't properly converted to Judaism, yet Israel attempted to block and still resist, African-Black Jews, with proven DNA Jewish genes, from immigrating into the supposedly "Jewish State" without years and years of checks and balances. That's a color system. So, Nader is talking something else that we just don't care about anymore because Americans know something is fishy with this Israel mess.

Forth, Nader/Gonzalez sure have no issues about illegal immigration on his website. This can be interpreted as, Nader is trying to do something sneaky. Illegal immigration ranks just as high as terrorism because most Americans view illegal immigration as a national security issue. Millions of people crossing, undocumented every year, and changing the core of America is terrorism but Nader dances around this issue which means he is full of mess.
