Really? I'm sure with the help of Ralph Nader's old GOP infrastructure, Jill Stein will give them exactly what they're willing to pay for. Greens? WTF are these assholes between presidential elections? As she was asked by a caller on NPR, "seeing that Pres. Obama has faced unprecedented obstruction, who the hell is gonna caucus with you"? And why aren't they about the real business of building an actual ground-up party infrastructure, electing House Reps and Senators, and local officials? Her talking points didn't include a very good answer to that, except to blame the two major parties. Once elected, apparently she will depend on Tahrir style occupations to push through her agenda.
Uh, excuse me, but hasn't that strategy already bottomed out?
On NPR (forget the name of the show, 1 pm Eastern), and I'm gonna say 5 out of 8 callers handed her, her hat. The other two sounded like plants, and out of respect, I won't comment on the "active duty" military officer who called in.
Considering she has to get to 15% approval, I don't fancy her chances at being included in the debates, but apparently she has qualified for more than 20 state ballots. I loved the callers, who were mostly respectful, but in a sarcastic way.
Honestly, she's Roseanne Barr, with a medical degree. Talking Points City.
