Quotations about Ralph Nader's candidacy for president
Comments on Ralph Nader's candidacy for president:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I think that Ralph Nader is proving that the only master that he serves is his enormous ego." -- Scott Maddox, chairman of the Democratic Party in Florida.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm going on a national crusade to stop Nader. This is only going to help Bush." -- Al Sharpton, Democratic Party candidate for president.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're happy that Ralph Nader's joined the fray. Good. Bring some more on. Maybe Jesse Jackson can run, and Justin Timberlake will get on the ballot. Who knows? Bring in all of them ... because we're solidly united behind George Bush." -- Arkansas Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In the last three years, the Bush administration has mounted arguably the greatest assault on our conservation laws ever seen. Mr. Nader's entry into the presidential race only increases the likelihood that assault will continue for a second term. It is monumentally irresponsible for Ralph Nader, who professes a reverence for our natural environment, to take any step that aids the president's re-election bid." -- Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's of absolute, utmost importance that George Bush is not re-elected." -- Pat Lamarche, Green Party candidate for Maine governor in 1996, in calling for the party not to field Nader or any other candidate in 2004.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Republicans love Ralph Nader!" -- Minnesota Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"People who voted for him the last time recognize they made a mistake, and they won't do it again." -- Iowa Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack.

2. Good For Al. If any group could claim to be ignored it is African-American
But leaders are not so selfish to try to run their own candidate.

Nader is totally dellusional. He must think he is the only
political leader who has his rather common-place critiques.
