If Hillary Is In To Win, So Is Ralph Nader

Ralph Nader was on San Franciso radio today and told the host that he would run if Hillary becames the Democratic nominee. Nader said Hillary is, ” just another bad version of Bill Clinton.” Nader said this during a book tour promoting his new book, “The Seventeen Traditions.” When asked to describe Clinton, Nader said, “Flatters, panders, coasting, front-runner, looking for a coronation, not taking on the huge waste in the military budget as a member of the Armed Services (Committee), never going after the corporate crimes against pensions, against workers. … She has no political fortitude.” Nader also had things to say about other candidates. About Barack Obama, Nader said, he “has capacity … whether he gets specific in his proposals, that’s what a lot of people are waiting for,” Nader said. “He hasn’t shown that much political fortitude … in his two years in the Senate.” Nader also had something to say about John Edwards as well, “I like the way he’s emphasizing the poverty in the country, the sinking of the middle class.” But, he said Edwards is “not very good on foreign relations. He doesn’t challenge the military budget. He should go after things like abuses of the Patriot Act against the civil liberties of the American people.” So, if Hillary is in, Ralph will try to play the spoiler again.
