He says Ralph Nader, “the most famous of the third party candidates,” is running as an independent but “generally follows Green Party platform.”</i> Is this true? I've heard it said that Nader "refuted the 9 principles of the Green Party" in one of his speeches. Now, I could look up the 9 points, and then google around and try to find the speech, but to do that properly would require 3 hours that I've budgeted for other things. Long story short, I would love if someone Green or Green-leaning on this board would explain Nader's similarities and differences to (from) the Green Party.
