Do you mean this as a critique of the Naderites whom you otherwise defend? Because they're very comfortable with rhetoric about national sovereignty, very happy to take money (quietly) from right-wing union-hating magnates like Roger Milliken, and quite eager to enter coalitions with Buchanan and Congressional Republicans. Do you like that?
