Nader:"We do not accept outsider... political assistance "

The Outsider
A Talk with Ralph Nader
By JOSHUA FRANK
(-snip-)
JF: How do you respond to charge that you have "sold out" by allowing conservative groups and individuals to aid your ballot access efforts in swing states such as Oregon and Michigan?

RN: False rumors promoted by Democrats to provide cover for their dirty tricks which are obstructing Nader-Camejo ballot access. We do not accept outsider organized political assistance whether Republican or anyone else with such motives.

However, Mr. Nader the evidence does not support your statement. To wit:

(-snip-)
A group until recently called Citizens for a Sound Economy, whose chairman is former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey, is urging its members to help Nader get on the ballot in Wisconsin, Michigan and Oregon, spokesman Chris Kinnan told me.

Last month, the group merged with Empower America, chaired by Jack Kemp, the Republican who was Robert Dole's running mate when he ran for president in 1996. The fused group is now called FreedomWorks, and besides Armey and Kemp, the third leader is C. Boyden Gray, who was White House counsel in the administration of George H.W. Bush.

Armey, Kemp and Gray are three conservative free-market Republicans who want their supporters to sign petitions to put Nader on the ballot. That alone should be sufficient proof to any doubters who think that a vote for Nader is anything but a vote for Bush. Kinnan said they are most active in Wisconsin right now, and they are urging their members to attend Nader events and sign his petition.

4. What A Pile Of Un-Adulterated Bull-Shit!

Two-thirds of Wrecker Nader's signatures on ballot petitions are raised by Republican groups and REpublican money. He is a wholly owned subsidiary of the reactionary right, a mere dummy corporation in their campaign to maintain the criminals of the '00 Coup in office this year.

"Kill one, warn one hundred."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

Hey Ralph, shove a pole lined with razor wire up your ass.
