Nader said yesterday that although their parties and candidates use different language but their essential mindset is the same.

"They really say things differently, but they don't do things differently, and they don't fight for things differently," he said.

Nader also defended his candidacy against critics who argue that by voting for him and not Democrat Al Gore '69, voters will actually help elect Republican George W. Bush as president.

"We've already started to win," Nader said. "[Our campaign] wins when it brings tens of thousands of people back into progressive political activity, and that's happening."

While indicting corporate welfare and "insane" defense spending, Nader offered an all-inclusive vision of American society, saying that political movements need to be focused on "human need and not political greed."
