(135,425 posts)The cheap apartment with the shoddy furniture? The Army Navy boots, he bought, what, twenty pair to last the rest of his life? The cheap suits? The "poor boy" attitude, cheap as all get out, while he's sitting on MILLIONS?
Oh, he gives his money AWAY! To non-profits! Yeah--to non-profits HE controls with an iron hand. He still controls the money, he just dodges taxes by "giving" some of it to his own agencies. And he doesn't "do" cooperative management. It's Ralph's way, or the highway.
Nader never had to VOTE to benefit his own portfolio. All he had to do was draw away votes from a Democratic ticket in battleground states, using GOP funding, to ensure a GOP win.
This is all quite simple, really. Ralph is a phony progressive who is in the pocket of the GOP. They made him rich.
This isn't about who is funding politicians. Ralph is not in a position to cast a vote to benefit those types of people, anyway. His job was to be a spoiler, and he was rewarded for doing just that.
That's fine if you take issue with that sort of thing and want to complain about it in a separate thread. This isn't the place, though. Two wrongs do not make a right and it's not appropriate to insinuate that they do.
This is about Ralph Nader, fake-progressive, who does the bidding of the GOP and who personally and pecuniarily benefits when a Republican is in the White House. It's past time people wake up and see him for the phony he has always been. He is a bitter, nasty avaricious little shit.
Ordinary, everyday people in the know, and who know Ralph, agree--Ralph is a selfish bastard: http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=4291
