Nader Makes Friends
Ralph visited with the Congressional Black Caucus, apparently the only group willing to say to his face what they think of his run. The reaction of the African-American lawmakers to the get-together wasn't exactly mixed. According to The Hill, they were left "questioning his mental health and accusing him of acute and advanced egomania." Still far, far from apologizing himself for his 2000 run, Nader is the one demanding apologies, this time for "racial epithets" hurled at him.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) said, “If he didn’t understand what the meeting was about, not only is he an egotistical maniac, he’s dumber than I thought he was.”
Meanwhile, the crazed consumer-advocate is having trouble in Michigan, even though Republicans helped him with signatures, as they are trying to do now in Oregon as well, where 2 attempts to get on the ballot have failed. He has also been shut out of the Arizona ballot.
