| Next election, I'm voting a straight Green ticket. |

Cobb has integrity, balls, and vision. He's spearheading the recount. He understands the crises heading our way on the energy and debt fronts. He won't dismantle a perfectly healthy Social Security system. He's anti-war and not afraid to say it.
Let that pussy Kerry dangle in the wind along with all the other Dems who are just shills for corporate interests. Why vote against your own best interests? No more! I won't do it again!
It was a huge mistake for me to back that spineless wimp Kerry when Cobb shared my views, was on the ballot for me, and would have taken a stand like a man. Kerry couldn't rip that white flag out fast enough, you know? Senator Kerry still has his job.
Come on, DU! Vote your conscience. Make the Dems wheel around to some minimum amount of truthfulness. Make them at least stop giving Bush a fucking STANDING OVATION the next time he bombs a city full of innocent human beings into submission. This is 100% outrageous, and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
Bush is a fucking war criminal, currently shielding Rummy from an international criminal court for what he's done! We're shielding the new Nazis from justice! For the Blood of the Lamb, at least TRY to tell the truth for once and STOP SUPPORTING THIS IMMORAL WAR!!!!!
I think my fucking HEAD is going to explode!

We should strive to reform the Democratic party into one that fights and has the ideals you speak of. The Green Party will never win. They have no chance whatsoever.

| 2. Fat chance... I find it interesting that everyone says that Greens have no |

chance... If everyone who didn't vote for them because they "had no chance" actually voted for them, they might actually get some votes.
Something to think about.

Not all Democrats would vote Green. The Democratic Party is home to a lot of moderates, including myself. So, if the liberals of the Dem base left and voted Green, we would have a huge split, enabling the Republicans to win every single election.

| 5. Or maybe the Dems will come back from the right ... |

When they realize their base is gone. We won't win elections with Dems who won't even do anything about fraud that steals their positions!

| 6. Yawn about this, Shane. |

I live in California. How many electoral votes in CA? Enough to swing a Presidential race one way or the other? You can bet your bored ass that it is. Since becoming politically aware I immediately joined the ranks of the grassroots political activist scene. How could I not? This is life and death to me. I had no idea what I was supporting.
I will do my best to yank CA away from the Democratic party by registering black voters and educating them about the Greens. That's the unspoken strength of the CA democratic party. I'm out for blood big guy. Come get me.
Go ahead and wave your donkey flag for that blowhard Kerry and his ridiculous support for the War on Terra. Dean's the only Democrat with the balls to say anything worth listening to since Wellstone's plane went down. I will be actively undermining the Democratic lock on CA to the fullest extent of my will for four solid years. I have time on my hands, too. I'm headed back to school to retool for our New NAFTA Economy that St. Bill passed. Wake up, foo! Unless you personally own $2 million in invested capital or pull down $200K+ in salary/commissions, you are voting against your own best interests by supporting either D or R. And you know it.
There's virtually no difference between Bush and Kerry. Prove me wrong and get a half-decent Democratic candidate for some office up for a vote and I might change my mind. Or maybe you're so used to losing that you'll just shake your head and trudge on in the rain with the other remnants of the populist party the Dems used to be way back in ancient history.
