Jim,

I read the material in the website "Some investigation showed that Nader's brother purchased the house -- worth $100,000 even back in 1972 -- though he was an underemployed educational "consultant" And further:

"When the Washington Post's then-society columnist Maxine Cheshire asked Nader about the reports, he knew every detail of the house's financing and couldn't resist rhapsodizing about what a great tax break buying a house was. "He talks about that real estate investment the way some men talk about sex. He's so excited about the whole idea of tax write-offs and all that. I mean, did I realize that that's the greatest investment you can make, the biggest tax advantage, bla bla bla bla bla bla."

I am not a conservative, or even a Republican--my politics are probably somewhere between socialist and anarchist--however, I am not a Naderist--whatever noble ideas he may hold or put forward--He often seems only to be a champion to people whose opressor happens to be a corporation with deep pockets and a high profile--

There are a lot of other trial lawyers out there who are doing the same things that he does, but they don't feel the need to generate huge amounts of PR telling how noble they are.
