Jill Stein claims Obama is "Bush on steroids." IOW, much worse than George W.

[pnwmom]

One more reason no real progressive should consider supporting her.

"We had Bush and all the terrible things under Bush. Then we had Obama, even with the Democratic Congress in both houses for two years. And what did we get under Obama? It was Bush on steroids."

[CrowCityDem]

1. Not that she was ever serious, but the minute she questioned Hillary as a mother, she was a joke.

[obamanut2012]

22. And on Mother's Day, to boot

[synergie]

55. What was that? She's that desperate for attention that she'll basically say any stupid thing?

[Wilms]

2. Whistleblowers

That would be an arguable case.

Let's keep it real.

[riderinthestorm]

29. The context was Obama letting the banks and big banksters get off without punishment

This was during an interview with truthout last year. I'd link it but nobody will read it anyway. I've discovered that once a meme is set, it's impossible to break through.

But yeah, whistleblower prosecution is another area.

Drones too I'd guess.

Deportations unquestionably.

I really like Obama and would vote for him again if I could but I've never been one to put any politician on a pedestal, blind to flaws.

[artyteacher]

3. she's insane or a GOP operative. eom

[The Second Stone]

47. Why not both?

Like Earl Warren.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. WTF???

[bettyellen]

14. We had both house for two years? I thought it was five randomly distributed months within a two year

Period! People were sick, elections contested for many months to prevent him having majorities.
Liar.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. It was as you say.

Stein is full of it.

[bettyellen]

19. im over the bullshit! I saw posts hoping and praying for HRCs death today.....

Thank god those asses have followed the piper into the river. They breathe lies.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. It's unbelievable.

This is not what Sanders wants. He knows the stakes of a Trump presidency.

[brush]

30. You are right, and if Stein doesn't know this she's not very well informed . . .

to be running for president.

Either that or she's working with the repugs as that's one of their inaccurate talking points.

And what is with this Green Party hubris that makes them think that they should run for the highest office in the land without beginning with local, statewide and Congressional offices?

You only hear about them ever 4 years, and when you do, all you hear is them attacking the Democrats, not the repugs.

[bettyellen]

38. Every week I see an "informed voter" somewhere repeat that complaint about Obama....

I'm just so tired of the lies- from a candidate no less? Please.

[cheapdate]

41. Correct.

Like, the period after Al Franken was finally seated but before Ted Kennedy died and Scott Brown replaced him.

[bettyellen]

42. And wasn't someone else hospitalized for a period too? So much misfortune...

As well as GOP plotting, really put the screws to poor Obama.

[Squinch]

5. What an ass. And no real progressive IS supporting her. By definition, if

they are supporting her, they are not progressive.

[brer cat]

27. +1

[geek tragedy]

6. She's Nader on Valium, nt

[BobbyDrake]

35. Bwuhaha. nt

[BlueMTexpat]

51. Nader did a lot of good work

for consumer protection generally before enabling Bush II's selection. See, e.g., Nader's Raiders http://www.pophistorydig.com/topics/naders-raiders-1968-1974/

It is a tragedy that he tarnished that legacy.

So far as I know, Jill Stein has never done anything for anyone except herself. On Valium she may be, but not as Nader.

[geek tragedy]

56. True dat. She's HA Goodman on steroids, nt

[apcalc]

7. Well, she is certainly "out there" on some things, and not in a good way.

She seems too harsh and unforgiving for me.....

[mcar]

8. Oh FFS!

[ismnotwasm]

9. She's another CT lunatic

Good at getting attention though

[NCTraveler]

10. I'll go out on a limb and say 1 to 3 percent...

Of people are stupid enough to believe her. All of them will show up to vote for her. That is some crazy shit she is saying.

[rhett o rick]

45. So you believe the source is reputable? Or does it matter?

[NCTraveler]

54. That's funny.

I'm glad we agree as to how far out there the comment is. Common ground.

[zappaman]

11. An idiot.

She should run with Trump for the all idiot ticket.

[MADem]

12. She's on "the twitter" more than Donald Trump, these days.

If the Greens want to ever be taken seriously, they need to get rid of that Lexingtonian dilettante. She treats the party like her personal soap box and has for years.

The growth of the Green party--for those who really want to see a viable 3rd party come to the fore--has been horribly stunted by her iron-fisted control over it. She runs it like a fiefdom, and she's the queen. She controls access and agenda and serves as the spokesmodel for the franchise. Everything goes through her, and everyone else had best shut up.

I think a knock-down, drag-out fight for the leadership of that entity would do wonders for its viability. As long as she's in charge, it's a joke, basically. That may sound harsh, but it's also accurate.

[BobbyDrake]

36. I wonder why nobody ever calls for Jill Stein to be primaried... nt

[Spazito]

13. Geez...

She thinks saying crap like that will make her relevant, major fail.

[Downtown Hound]

15. Another Green Party idiot

Another reason why I closed the book on that party more than 14 years ago.

[LenaBaby61]

16. Jill Stein claims Obama is "Bush on steroids." IOW, much worse than George W.

....

[ram2008]

18. Is this the same whack job that has holistic medicine as part of her platform?

No thanks.

[revmclaren]

20. And she's Nader on METH!!!!

WOW!!!!



I really hope that that level of delusion is the result of being altered and not her true belief. Thats some scary sad S@#T!

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. Jill Stein is a fucking idiot

[Hekate]

23. "When somebody tells you who they are, believe them." Jill Stein is toxic.

[840high]

37. I feel the same way.

[lunamagica]

26. If anyone had any doubts, here's anough proof that she's a lunatic moron

Jill,

[Mz Pip]

28. Not 2 years

59 days. That's the number of days the democrats controlled the Senate from the time the Franken seat was resolved and Kennedy died.

If she were so smart and savvy she would know that. How Bernie supports can consider voting for this hyperbole driven person is beyond me.

[pnwmom]

31. And not even 59 days since Indie Lieberman was one of the 60,

and his vote couldn't be counted on.

[TwilightZone]

44. And Ben Nelson

Ditto.

[tonyt53]

32. "Green" usually means spoiled or rotten. Either way it is useless.

[BlueCaliDem]

53. And it's why I turned away from the Green Party and returned to the Democratic Party.

Too many nutcases in the Green Party for my taste. That's just my opinion.

[JoePhilly]

33. Crackpot. Nt.

[RBInMaine]

34. She is a lunatic on steroids.

[tallahasseedem]

39. FFS

Can we just agree she's a crackpot and move on?

[book_worm]

40. I mean, really, couldn't the Green party have come up with somebody better than Stein?

[rbrnmw]

43. Crazy

[rhett o rick]

46. Are you saying you support that source? They have some very interesting

posts there.

[nolawarlock]

48. Anyone who supports her should be institutionalized.

I notice a ton of people at JPR do. Heck, I counted at least seven former DUers over there pushing for Trump. It's like a combination of Romper Room and a Rubber Room over there.

[Yukari Yakumo]

49. I think I speak for a lot of us here

Who?

[Night Watchman]

50. Idiot

A beer stein has more sense!

[still_one]

52. Is this the face of the Green Party? If so it is like a cult
