If “cowering” Democrats — who “are tortured daily by Republican leaders” — come away the losers in November, they will have only themselves to blame, according to Ralph Nader.

“If the Democrats in Congress were all drinking water from the same faucet, there might be a clue to their chronic fear of the craven and cruel corporatist Republicans who dominate them,” Nader began in a post on his website. “But they don’t, so we have to ask why their fear, defeatism, and cowering behavior continues in the face of the outrageous GOP actions as the November election approaches.”

“The Democrats should be landsliding the worst Republican Party in history,” the former presidential candidate added. “Instead, Democrats let Boehner and Cantor peddle their unrebutted torrents of falsehoods to the voters in their districts.”

Nader lamented the inaction of Democrats against what he views as an extremist Republican Party, alleging that the “Democrats are tortured daily by Republican leaders.”

“Who’s fooling whom?” he concluded. “The coming days await a new and open jolting push by prominent outside Democrats who fervently want to wrench their party back from the abyss, from its own self-imposed sense of dread before a devastating, self-inflicted November defeat.”
