When somebody as integral to the progressive movement in America as Ralph Nader embraces the Ron Paul campaign, conservatives would do well to pause…
Libertarians like Ron Paul are on our side on civil liberties. They’re on our side against the military-industrial complex. They’re on our side against Wall Street. They’re on our side for investor rights. That’s a foundational convergence,” he exhorts. It’s not just itty-bitty stuff.
That quote came recently from former Green Party presidential candidate and longtime progressive Ralph Nader. Both Nader and Congressman Ron Paul have spent time together, and it appears the relationship between the two men has grown stronger in recent months. How a self-described libertarian and a man who has spent his life calling for increased government regulation on almost all facets of public life seem now inextricably linked makes for quite a unique and seemingly stark political contradiction. Nader has come out PUBLICLY SUPPORTING the Ron Paul candidacy – though stopping just short of an all out endorsement.
