More Nader Egomania

Right Ralph!!!

When attacked by Dean and his own VP Candidate,Peter Camejo, Nader defends GOP cash Candidate says he's keeping money.

Democratic National Committee Chair Terry McAuliffe and former presidential candidate Howard Dean called for Ralph Nader to return donations from key Republican boosters -- but the independent presidential candidate insisted Friday he would not give in to what he called a Democratic "smear'' effort.

Nader, in what has become a public disagreement with his vice presidential candidate, Peter Camejo, strongly denied the recent windfall of donations from deep-pocketed Republicans was part of a GOP effort to wound Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

As an indication of exactly how divorced from reality poor Ralph is, he has accepted the Nomination of the Reform Party.

.....Nader did accept the endorsement of the Reform Party, which gives him ballot access in seven states, but also left some of his supporters uneasy.

"I'm very concerned that you are accepting their nomination," Philip Locker told Nader during a recent campaign tour of the Northeast. Locker, who is with a group called Socialist Alternative, said the Reform Party had anti-immigrant and racist policies.

Nader declared then that the Reform Party had "more benign views" and in any case, his acceptance of the endorsement did not mean he supported the group's views. The endorsement was simply a chance to compete in states such as Florida, he told Locker, "unless you want to get 98,000 signatures for us."

I suspect poor Ralph is beyond enlightenment at this point but it's time for Nader supporters to wake up and jump on the reality train.
