Will Bush buy ads for Nader again? And, if he does isn't that taking

[mzmolly]

filthy corporate money? ;)

1. Also, could Ralph be running to get the big tax cuts by keeping Bush in

office ?? Afterall, he is a multi millionaire who owns stock in several corporations. :tinfoilhat: ;)

5. didn't he accuse Gore of owning some stocks in 2000 ?

i remember some of the greens would protest gore at his campaign events on that. and then the republicans also started attacking gore on that.

8. Yes he did, and it was Gores mother from what I understand who

inherited the stock in question?

Though at the time, Nader owned stock in Haliburton/General dynamics/Shell/Exxon and many more "questionable" corporations.

"The Occidental projects are so beyond the pale about what's reasonable and moral in this modern era," says Patrick Reinsborough, grass-roots coordinator for the Rainforest Action Network. Reinsborough says that his group has been primarily targeting Gore and Fidelity Investments in general, Fidelity Magellan being part of the Fidelity Investments mutual funds network, as well as the one with the largest quantity of Occidental stock. "We have called upon Ralph Nader -- as we would call upon any citizen -- to either divest from Fidelity or to participate in shareholder activism," Reinsborough says. "Gore has much more long-standing links to Occidental Petroleum."

But even if Fidelity were to divest its holdings in Occidental, it holds shares in so many companies Nader has crusaded against, it's hard to escape the conclusion that Nader's participation in the fund is supremely hypocritical. The fund, for example, owns stock in the Halliburton Company, where George W. Bush's running mate, Dick Cheney, recently worked as president and COO. The fund has investments in supremely un-p.c. clothiers the Gap and the Limited, both of which have been the target of rocks by World Trade Organization protesters, as well as Wal-Mart, the slayer of mom-and-pop stores from coast to coast."

2. No. Nader can't control what Republicans spend money on.

No. Nader can't control what Republicans spend money on.

That isn't accepting corporate money.

I'm against Nader running in 2004, and that he can control. No need to blame him for things beyond his control.

3. He could ask them not to run ads for him in swing states.

:shrug:

4. Nader aside,

I'm 'Anybody But Those Who Inherently Don't Represent Me, Including Kerry' ABTWIDRMIK. So long as Kerry doesn't demand the withdrawal from Iraq, and the leaving of NAFTA and the WTO, my vote goes elsewhere.

Maybe Bush should win, as a Republican face on the corporate fascism which plagues our country would be easier to combat and explain.

6. Nader has stock in the oil companies (including Haliburton) that are

profiting from this war.

Does that exclude him from your vote?

In other words, could his reason for running be to profit from his stocks in the oil and defense industry?

7. Unilateralism and supporting Bush

Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong website?

9. Do You Not Care About the Supreme Court or...

...all the other countries Bush* would invade in his second term?
Or the draft he will start up to get cannon fodder for all this?
