Bobert , if you are lookin at me, no need to sell me on the Green Party. I am for any third party that can get on the ballot and offer a common-sense alternative . I don't agree with everything the green party puts out, and frankly, I don't disagree with all of the Republicans or Democrats. Many of them mean well, and some have done some pretty good things. But after living thru 10 or 11 presidents, I just don't see the difference anymore. I like the Green Party and hope they are able to get on the ballot again. I have no qualms about taking votes away from either of the biggies because I'm making my own statement and if it splits the vote, so be it. In the last election , Nader could not even get on the ballot in 7 or 8 states although he campaigned in all 50. Thats how hard the powers that be make it to run. I think we need more access to Washington and that includes the parties that I abhor... Communist, socialist, etc. In fact, I.m not that thrilled about any group calling themselves a party. If they get a REASONABLE number of signatures, let them on the ballot . down with the plutocracy! I don't consider myself a pacifist, lefty or righty, tree hugger, union sympathizer or any other label ... I just believe in common sense and integrity and Nader seems to have more of it than anybody else in Washington. He was squeezed out of the debates because big business sponsors them and he was ignored by the media (big bus. again). If enough people keep making their statement and vote for an alternative maybe in 16 more years we really will have a choice. Man I'm ashamed of myself for this diatribe. sorry.

Well said, uncle bill. Twiddle-de-twiddle-dum, them dems and republi-cuns!

Now Nader. Different story. Remember my Department of Peace thread? Remember the Middle East Peace Summit that we jsut finished talking about a couple of weeks ago? Green thinking is not like business-as-usual. It's about doing things that move manking further down the road toward justice, fairness, comapssion, conservation, inclusion and betterment of the quality of life for everyone... We're going to just have to let it go at that for now. But, you have been exposed to Green philosophy here in this thread and in other threads. You call it liberal, which it is not. It's really conservative in many ways, in that it colors in the concepts of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...

Okay, no hugs today, Big Guy, if it makes you squirmish, but I'll keep workin' on ya'... Fair 'nuff?

Nope, Gore would prob do the same thing. There is no longer any difference between the GOP and Demos since they're both owned by corporate America. You haven't heard from Gore because his mouth is still full of the pharmaceutical lobby's teat. Gore doesn't know what to be for or against until he figures out what the Republicans are for or against.

Geeze, Bobert, you're going to start talk here on the Mudcat. Control yourself! :>)

I knew if you listened to me long enough you'd start thinking my way. :>)

Now as to Nader. What would he do?

DougR: I gotta agree with you on this one, my friend. Like. Gore has spent the last two years speaking like a man with no tongue. I started checkin' the obits a year ago thinkin' that maybe he had died.

Yeah, here Junior goes out and flat out steals an election from him. Greg Palast sends Gore all the evidence and what does Gore do? Well, I'll tell ya what he did. He went off, grew a beard and became Max Bikford teachin' at the local college. Hmmmmmm?

Then Junior does abunch of other stupid stuff like pushing thru a tax cut in the name of, well, danged if I know... but he had to have it. And then the economy goes down the tubes because of the same reasons the last time it went down the tubes during Reagan and his daddy's administration and where the heck was Gore?

And then Junior turns his back on the Middle East and creates a ripe situation for 9-11 and where was Gore?

And even last month, Junior is off giving up the forests to the loggers. Now this should have made Gore real mad since his beloved spotted owl and snail darter's would, well... ahhh... just have to go and where was Gore?

So, he looks at the calendar and on it yesterday's date is circled with a notation "Begin Campaign for '04". Hahahahahah......

Okay, okay. Gore probably ain't that bad. And if he had thought about it he *probably* would have tried to invent the internet.

So there, Dougie. Looks like we agree on lots of stuff here.

Come on over a get a hug there, Big Guy.

Amos, McGrath: you are absolutely correct. My original post about Al's speech yesterday is confusing and incorrect. My second posting of the situation is correct. It can be verified by anyone interested enough to check it out.

Gore is using the current situation, which most reasonable folks agree is a dangerous one between Saddam and the rest of the world, to make what he considers to be political hay. No surprise there.
