Reminder of why Podesta (both) are a problem:
Love and Nader wrote to Gore in April accusing him of using "an astonishing array of bullying tactics" to stop South Africa expanding access to AIDS drugs. Even members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS are challenging Gore. "He is wrong," said council member Debbie Runions, a former Gore campaign volunteer, speculating whether "he's in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies".
Critics allege that the vice-president, who has typically embraced liberal causes such as the fight against AIDS, is being swayed by ties to the drug industry. For instance, a key lobbyist for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (Pharma), Tony Podesta, is the brother of the president's chief of staff, John Podesta, and is also a Gore adviser and friend.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based public-interest group, Gore's political action committee received $56,000 from individuals connected to pharmaceutical companies in 1998.
