Nader seeks help from republicans in gaining Arizona ballot access

I'm sure this article from the American Prospect has been posted here ((and there have been attempts to dismiss it by some) before but it is really infuriating nevertheless.

Nader's bid for the Arizona ballot began this spring when members of his campaign sought a contract with Arno Political Consultants, a California-based Republican consulting firm that has handled past ballot-qualification efforts for GOP icons like Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, as well as anti-immigrant groups like U.S. English.

-----------------snip----------------------------------------------

In its effort to get on the ballot in the key battleground state of Arizona, the Prospect has learned, the Nader campaign hired a petition company that is also gathering signatures for a draconian anti-immigrant initiative pushed by right-wing elements in the state. The initiative, called Protect Arizona Now (PAN), would restrict access to public services by undocumented immigrants.

I think this should confirm that Nader and some of his supporters are not allies -- swing state of safe state. They are WILLING tools of the right.
