I'd prefer either Bush or Gore's hypocrisy - and I'll even say that I would
prefer Pat Buchanan (with puking reluctance) - to a consistent, principled,
fanatical lunatic whose election would result in the crushing of all my
dreams and very possibly my death by starvation.
But Nader is a hypocrite. According to:
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20000618/el/nader_2000_2.html
He is a millionaire who made $512,000 last year. More then double what he
would allow anyone to make under maximum wage.
Another possible green party candidate, who lost to Nader, was punk musician
Jello Biafra, who was recently ordered to pay $200,000 in back royalties to
his former bandmates, which he had kept from them through fraud.
