The Green Party presidential candidate who played spoiler to Al Gore when he ran against George W. Bush in 2000 has decided he will endorse former Senator John Edwards (D-NC) for the presidency this time around. It seems strange to me though, because Edwards has not made environmentalism a key issue in his campaign. His "Two Americas" theme has focused mostly on giving more handouts to lower income citizens and raising taxes on the "greedy" rich.
Well, not surprising, that's precisely what Nader likes about him. Government control and redistribution of wealth have always been cornerstones of the "green" ideology.
Yet that's why the rest of us find Edwards, a multi-millionaire, so duplicitous. He's a Socialist for sure... But what is so hypocritical about John Edwards is that he's a Socialist who happens to like Capitalism when his own name is on the check.
