May 2015

"In the 2004 campaign, Democrats such as Howard Dean and Terry McAuliffe asked that Nader return money donated to his campaign by Republicans who were well-known Bush supporters, such as billionaire Richard Egan. Nader's reaction to the request was to refuse to return any donations and he charged that the Democrats were attempting to smear him. Nader's vice-presidential running mate, Peter Camejo, supported the return of the money if it could be proved that 'the aim of the wealthy GOP donors was to peel votes from Kerry.' According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Nader defended his keeping of the donations by saying that wealthy contributors 'are human beings too'."
