When Sam Donaldson suggested to Nader that Gore's views on the environment were much closer to his than Bush's were, Nader said that Gore could not "conform his deeds to his words," accused him of having only "linguistic differences" with Bush, and then asked: "Has Al Gore ever fought for any of these things, really?"
"He wrote a great book," Nader said of Gore, "but he can't put it in practice."

Differing opinions are allowed, or no?

All politicians are egotistic to some degree. It would be hard to survive in the political world without one. Name a President with out an ego. Jimmy Carter is probably the least egotistical and they skinned him alive because of that. Some like Bernie and Jimmy no how to control their ego and use it to help others.
