Independent Vice-Presidential Candidate
Matt Gonzalez responded to
last night's presidential debate Between John McCain and Barack Obama
from Bill Maher's Los Angeles studio where his running mate Ralph Nader
appeared.
Gonzalez described the candidates' performances as sounding like "cut
and paste stump speeches" and criticized them for dodging questions on
the $700 billion bailout bill and the Iraq war.
He said he was surprised to hear Obama say that the U.S. occupation
must be paid for with Iraqi money, and noted a contradiction in his
talk of diplomacy and openness to meet with foreign leaders critical of
U.S. policy such as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"[Obama] says he would meet with them and they could spew their hatred.
This is precisely what diplomacy is not. You don't characterize a
meeting in the worst light possible before it happens," Gonzalez said.
"You try to talk about the goals and objective and perhaps the common
ground that you have [and] the shared interests you have for peace and
for stability, and you work from there."
Gonzalez also attacked the two candidates for supporting nuclear power
and ridiculed Obama's notion of safe nuclear waste storage which,
Gonzalez said, has proven to be a "tremendous failure."
Referring once more to the Wall Street bailout, Gonzalez said: "I like
to refer to it as a bailout of the two-party system because it's really
the system that failed to adequately protect the American people from
this."
