JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Presidential candidate Ralph Nader is on the ballot but not many voters have heard about his race for the White House.Nader has been touring the country, and on Tuesday he brought his nationwide tour to Jacksonville, where he talked about how he differs from the two-leading candidates and urged undecided voters to break from the two party system.Nader explained some of his differing viewpoints at an area library on Tuesday, for instance he favors Medicare insurance for everyone.He said he wants to reduce the military budget and devote more money locally to things like road repairs. He said he would implement a six-month withdrawal plan from Iraq.Nader also has a very different opinion than Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama when it comes to the bailout plan."We believe in a massive crackdown on corporate crime, fraud and abuse. We're in a corporate crime wave period of American history. Obama and McCain have nothing to say about this even though millions of consumers are being fleeced daily," Nader said.Nader also spent time talking about the difficulties a third-party candidate faces. The biggest challenge is overcoming the lack of national exposure, especially because he is excluded from participating in the debates.
