Quotes about Ralph Nader:
"Ralph Nader has made many great contributions to America over 40 years. But if George W. Bush is re-elected, the health, safety, consumer, environmental, and open government provisions Ralph Nader has fought for will be undermined. George Bush's right-wing appointees will still be serving as judges fifty years from now, and our Constitution will be shredded. It will be government by, of, and for, the corporations - exactly what Ralph Nader has struggled against." - Howard Dean, reacting to the Nader candidacy, 2/23/04
"Once great man has turned into a clueless egomaniac." - Newsweek's CW (12/22/03)
