“Faithfulness to ideas” is an ideal to strive for, and in truth, Nader exemplifies this ideal well. So did Reagan and Pope John Paul II. That’s why they are admired by many.

But speaking from the center – Statesmanship – not to be confused with political pragmatism – is what I believe is currently lacking on both sides of the aisle.

Statesmen listen – that’s why Reagan went to Reykjavík and John Paul prayed at the Wailing Wall.

On the other hand, Nader simply went to court.
