(37,648 posts)He may have been FOR many of those things, but he did not enact even one of those laws. He has never been a legislator.
What you list is the old Nader. The "before" time. Before he became super famous. Before he became fairly wealthy. Before he became enamored of himself and all he has accomplished. Before he lost sight of what he started out to accomplish - making this a better country for the average person.
It is true, though, that he was once a knight in shining armor. But his armor creaks, his sword flails about, hacking away at anything that gets in his way of his dream of holding an important political office, even though were it not for his ego he would know there was no chance of that ever happening. Even though it disrupts important, legitimate candidate campaigns.
Nader is not a bad person through and through. He is a good person who has allowed himself to become corrupted on the inside, putting himself before his causes. His cause became himself.
