Subject: RE: BS: Can We Do Better than 'Anybody But Bush'
Sorry, I also wanted to give a link to this article from CounterPunch, which illustrates so well the Democratic Party's corrupt the Greens strategy.

It is the drive to appease the Democrats that was behind the nomination of David Cobb.

Yet, I am voting for David Cobb. Why? To strengthen the Green Party in my state, and because I think as a candidate he reflects my interests and the nation's interest as well as the Nader/Camejo ticket. Nader isn't as committed to party building, which is something I do support, and why I supported the Nader/La Duke 2000 campaign. Neither Nader nor La Duke were committed to the Green Party in 2000, and I knew that too. So I'm glad to see Nader wasn't renominated by the Green Party this year.

But I am pushing my local Green Party leadership to work a whole lot harder to move the national party leadership away from this ludicrous "appease the Democrats" strategy discussed in the article I link to above.
