Nader has no monopoly on the idea that people should vote their conscience.

And representing one's actual beliefs in politics is some advice he could take:
Every other phrase out of his mouth is about the evils of corporations and the capitalist structure, yet he himself has several million dollars worth of stock and mutual funds in (gasp) corporations.
