Nader draws donations from Bush's supporters

By Ken Slader
The Dallas Morning News

AUSTIN, Texas — Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader is receiving a little help from his friends — and from George W. Bush's friends.

Nearly 10 percent of contributors who have given Nader at least $250 have a history of supporting the Republican president, national GOP candidates or the party, according to computer-assisted review of financial records.

Among the new crop of Nader donors: actor and former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, Florida frozen-food magnate Jeno Paulucci and Pennsylvania oil-company executive Terrence Jacobs. All have strong ties to the GOP. <snip>

Ashman said he remains a staunch Republican. He contributed $2,000 to Bush's campaign, the maximum allowed for the general election, according to records.

"I proudly made a contribution to the re-election of President Bush because I support him 100 percent," he said. "I hope and believe he will be re-elected." <snip>
