Conservatives Seek to Help Ralph Nader

"SALEM, Ore. - Two conservative groups have been phoning people around Oregon this week, urging them to attend Ralph Nader (news - web sites)'s convention Saturday in hopes of putting Nader's name on Oregon's presidential ballot...


"...The Oregon Family Council also has been working the phones to boost attendance at Nader's event — with the idea that it could help Bush this fall.

"We aren't bashful about doing it," said Mike White, the group's director. "We are a conservative, pro-family organization, and Bush is our guy on virtually every issue." ...


"...The head of Nader's Oregon campaign, Greg Kafoury, said he's had no contact with the two conservative groups that have been calling people this week. But he said he's not bothered by their actions, either.

If Nader qualifies for Oregon's ballot, polls suggest that he could be a factor in whether Kerry or Bush wins the seven electoral votes of this swing state in November."

1. If Nader really adhered to the principles he espoused, he would contact

these organizations and tell them he wanted nothing to do with them. This is a perfect example of the kind of "corrupt corporate influence" he decries.
