Nader criticizes gambling on first campaign stop in Nevada

[Freddie Stubbs]

LAS VEGAS — Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader made his first campaign appearance Sunday in Nevada, denouncing gambling and calling a proposed nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain a “boondoggle.”

During an appearance at a downtown Las Vegas library, Nader said he opposed putting nuclear waste at Yucca long before Democratic hopeful John Kerry began using the issue in the campaign.

“We have opposed this for years,” Nader said about the repository being built 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. “It is geologically vulnerable.”

Nader, who ran for president in 2000, was in Las Vegas as part of a ten-state campaign swing. Nader said he expects to be on the ballot in 40 states. He managed in July to get the necessary signatures to be on the Nevada ballot.

Let me guess his future campaign plans:

* A visit to Florida to denounce the space program
* A trip to Iowa to criticize farming
* A visit to Maine to speak against fishing
* A stop in Philadelphia to criticize cheesesteaks and cream cheese

...and so on...
