Thread Name: BS: Can Nader pull off a Ventura?
Subject: RE: BS: Can Nader pull off a Ventura?
Well, still being more than angry about the DNC/RNC hatchet job that they conspired on to get Howard Dean, an outsider, ahhhh, outside their little ball game, I'm not ready to be told by the Dems that "I'm either with 'um or aginst 'um". I didn't like it when Bush did it to go to war and I don't like it any more for Dems, who are not so much as throwing thr progressives a bone, doing it to us.

If they want to have a party that isn't RepubLite then they are gonna have quit catering to rednecks and fundamentalists.

Can Nadar pull a Venura? Of course he can't. But he might just get the Dems to being scared to be an "opposition" party rather than a rival fraternity on campus.

The US is totally screwed up. It has a political system that is broken. It has corporations running everything. It has a terribly flawed foriegn policy. It has the highest infant mortality rat of any industrialized vountry. It's working class gets scrwed daily by Boss Hog. It is steeped in racism and stereotyping people. Its governemnt lies thru their teeth on just about every issue. And this is Repubs and Dems alike.

Maybe the Dems just need another dose of Nadar, and maybe another next time and the time afterwards until they figure out how to be an opposition party that is based on pro-human and pro earth values... It ain't all that hear to know what is right and wrong once you get the money out of the equation...

Plus, another 4 years of Bush's crapolla might create a more receptive scenerio for the Dems to step up to the plate with some real alternatives.

Until then, sorry to my Dem frineds, but this Greenie is having one heck of a hard time trying to think of any reason to vote for BushLite (Kerry).
