Ralph Nader Hearts Ron Paul, Hails Potential Left-Libertarian Alliance [View all]

Yo yo yo yo yo!

http://reason.com/blog/2011/09/28/ralph-nader-hearts-ron-paul-ha

So there's little difference between Bush* and Gore, but the differences between Nader and Ron Paul can be overlooked according to Nader?

The lengths that some people will go to, to diss the Democratic Party, are surprising. This includes all these alliances between "progressives" and the right.

Also:
Jane Hamsher & Grover Norquist
Glenn Greenwald & Ron Paul
