Ralph Nader Responds to Terry McAuliffe False Statements Charge - Aligning "with the kind of right-wing, Pat Buchanan conservatives" such as the Reform Party.
Sadly, today’s Reform Party is more progressive than the Democratic Party on many issues. They want an immediate withdrawal from Iraq not a continued quagmire occupation; they sincerely want statehood for Washington, DC; they want to withdraw from trade agreements that undermine our sovereignty and weaken environmental, labor and consumer protections; they want to truly protect the...
