Nader's Lawyer, Donald Etra, Joined Skull & Bones With Bush in 1968
Ralph Nader's Lawyer Donald Etra, Joined the Skull & Bones secret
society in 1968 the same year that George W. Bush joined ? !

But even considering that Bonesmen (as they are called) Have their
first loyalty to the Skull and Bones organization, then their families,
then voters if they are elected officials !

I am Sure it is "Just a Coincidence" that Ralph Nader is running as a
Spoiler to take votes away from Kerry and make the hacked computer
voting terminal tallies of a victorious G W Bush look more believable ?

Ralph/the ties that bind?

FYI:
A Member of Skull & Bones, the same cell as George W. Bush (1968), has
been at times (and Now) Ralph's Attorney.

....Here (in Skull and Bones) Bush also forged a strong relationship
with Donald Etra '68, who again commented on Bush's willingness to
interact with anyone and not restrict himself to either the jock side or
the intellectual side of the college.

Etra was a big consumer advocate and worked with current presidential
candidate Ralph Nader when he left college, and he is also a criminal
defense lawyer, often representing people on death row.

And yet, despite his strong political differences with Bush, he still is
supporting him in the presidential election.

1. Huh? Etra supports Bush?
How can he support Bush and still be Nader's lawyer? Or rather, how can Nader still use him as a lawyer?
