Bush Bigs Open Their Wallets For Nader
By Lorraine Woellert

If you like George, can you like Ralph, too? Some Bush-hugging Republicans seem to have a soft spot for Nader. On June 23, two Democratic voters sued to block Nader's petition to get on Arizona's ballot, arguing that he has only 10,161 valid signatures. The Arizona Democratic Party says about half of those -- 4,727 names -- while valid, are registered Republicans. Dems shockingly suggest that GOPers are backing Nader so he'll draw votes from John Kerry.

Nationally, at least three dozen Bush donors have opened their wallets for Nader. Among them: Richard J. Egan of Hopkinton, Mass., who maxed out with a $2,000 gift. Could this be the same Richard J. Egan who was chairman of EMC Corp.? Who served as President Bush's ambassador to Ireland? Who has raised at least $200,000 for Bush?

Why is that shocking? Look what the conservative groups in Oregon are doing? It comes as no surprise to me that conservative bigs are forking over their money to Nader. No surprise at all.

God, I hate that crap.
