Nader Gets on November Ballot in Florida

[RedEarth]

NEW YORK - Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) crashed the Republicans' party Tuesday, dropping by Madison Square Garden just hours before the convention's evening session was to begin.

"I like to observe corporate orgies," Nader told The Associated Press. "I'm trying to undermine the Republican party in my own modest way."


Nader, who was at the convention to do an interview with CNN, said the network got him into the building. He reserved most of his ire for Republicans, describing as a camouflage the moderate speakers the party is showcasing.


"They're pushing the conservatives off the stage because they have a lot to explain to conservatives," he said, ticking off issues like "massive deficits" and "federal regulation of local schools."


Nader didn't spare the Democrats — whom he has accused of playing dirty tricks to keep him off the ballot in crucial battleground states. Nader said he was at the convention to "provide a framework of criticism" that he said "the Democrats have taken a vacation from this week."
