this is a complete non-sequiter. i said the ONLY people i have ever heard use the term 'poverty pimp' were the basest and crudest right wingers. i have never heard anyone on this list use that term except you. whether this list has moved right or not is immaterial to my comment.

nader has demonstrated himself to be a totally craven seeker of power for his own ends. he has no interest in building any sort of party (he won't even join the greens, fer fuck's sake!) and is happy to get in bed with all sorts of right winger as long as he keeps his ugly face on teevee. i voted for him in 2000, but the next time i wish to protest vote i'll wite in my dog...

you most assuredly do and you use their language. i dare you to tell the millions of women and children that were fed by AFDC, WIC, and Head Start that these programs are/were worthless and the underpaid staff adminstering them were 'poverty pimps'. you sound just like that fuckwit (robert rector?) from Heritage that claims the US's poor eat like kings and have summer houses in the hamptons. please.
