Since Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD's unsuccessful
bid for the presidency back in '92, the Troma Team has been reticent to
enter the political arena. In our eternally hopeful quest for a decent
candidate, we have examined the greedy, dishonest fuck-wads and ball-fondlers
seeking our votes and found them wanting. They run the gamut from downright
evil to mere idiocy. But now, after months of thorough research, the Troma
Team has finally found an honest presidential candidate we can throw
our tremendous political clout behind: Green Party candidate Ralph
Nader, a true American hero and the one man with the intelligence,
determination, and skill to truly lead this country.
Those of you under a certain age may know Mr. Nader
more by name than by his deeds. Ralph Nader burst into the American consciousness
back in the 60's, when he first challenged the corporate elite in his
seminal book Unsafe at Any Speed, pointing out what he called "the
designed-in dangers" of American cars and offering suggestions for reform.
For the next 35 years, Nader has arguably saved more lives in this country
than Clinton, Reagan, and Nixon killed during their terms. Nader has taken
on the FDA, the ICC, the FAA, and probably every
other 3-letter organization in Washington. Nader is one of the original
Toxic Avengers, having crusaded against air and water pollution for
over three decades. He has also exposed inhuman conditions in nursing
homes and our corporately perverted legal system. His efforts have resulted
in greater access to the government we're supposed to run in the first
place and the protection of health and safety for both consumers and workers.
Ralph Nader fights for the ideals Troma and
the United States stands for. Every movie I have written or directed
has included the same central theme: the labor, bureaucratic, and corporate
elites are conspiring to suck dry the little people of Tromaville of their
economic and spiritual capital. Nader has embraced the same creed for
35 years. In his own words, "I am responsible for my actions, but who
is responsible for those of General Motors? An individual's capital is
basically his integrity. He can lose only once. A corporation can lose
many times, and not be affected. This unequal contest between the individual
and any complex organization, whether it is a corporation, a union, government,
or other group, is something which bears the closest scrutiny in order
to try to protect the individual from such invasions." Granted, we would
have thrown a few references to getting ass-fucked by the great multi-peckered
conspiracy of elites in there, but the message is the same. Ralph Nader is one of the last honest men in America.
This is the sort of person we should elect to the presidency, not more
members of the same power-hungry, money-grubbing cabal that we've been
foolishly voting into office for the past few decades. While Clinton was
hopping around not inhaling and avoiding the draft, Nader was exposing
corruption in the automobile industry. While Reagan was trying to forget
the covert arms deals he brokered and Nancy was busy mashing peas for
him, Nader was testifying before Congress to get a cleaner environment…not
to mention a cleaner government. Nader cares about this country and its
citizens. He deserves a chance to lead it.
