1. I not voting Green nomatter what.

It is straight Democratic for me (even Leiberman, uck). Nader would make a terrible president. Oh, let me revise that straight Democratic statement. Were there a local Green candidate (city council or such), I very well might vote Green.

[Terwilliger]

17. so you're schizophrenic

you'd vote Green locally but its Dems all the way? That doesnt make sense. It suggests you agree with Green party positions but cant support them. What kind of sense is that?

[Forkboy]

2. flame bait

[ulysses]

11. not particularly successful either, so far

All the other extremists must be out throwing bricks through McDonalds' windows in fringe neighborhoods tonight...

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. What's funny?

You wouldn't be making fun of another poster, would you? Good lord, I suppose a commensurate punishment would be to have you stand in a corner or miss recess or something. Too bad there's no Second Grade teacher around to referee.

4. Minnesota Greens

Although I am not a member of the MN Green Party, I do support many of their policies and issues.

Here is an email I got from the MN Green Party and I thought I would share it with everyone.

-----

Hello,

Greens in Minnesota and around the nation have been debating what to do for the next presidential campaign in 2004. Some Greens have suggested running another presidential campaign, either Ralph Nader again or someone new. Others have recommended we stay out of the race, to present a united front against presumed Republican candidate George W. Bush and to concentrate resources on winnable races. Still others have suggested the Greens run only in 'safe states,' or should run to spread awareness of issues and then stand down before the election.

What should Greens strategy be? Are we a protest vote? A social movement? An independent political movement? What is the most effective way for us to make the world a better place?

If you do have an opinion, donít keep it to yourself! We want the decision to be made as democratically as possible, with everyone sharing their thoughts in a healthy debate. We invite you to send your thoughts to us for publication in our statewide newspaper, the Sunflower. Send your position and argument to [e-mail], or write to us at:

Green Party of Minnesota
621 W. Lake St., #205
Minneapolis, MN

Articles and essays should be between 200 and 500 words long, and should be written in a professional newspaper style, making a logical argument. A few ranting sentences will not be published.

All e-mails will be assumed to be for publication unless you say otherwise. We will include a balanced variety of perspectives, but reserve the right to reject or edit letters for space. Please also include your home town or neighborhood, and some personal information about yourself ñ your profession, background, how long you have been voting Green, and so on. Finally, please tell us whether you are a member of the Green Party.

If you know of people in your area who are making the world a better place -- setting up solar power, speaking at schools, cleaning up the neighborhood -- write about it and we might publish it.

IMPORTANT: If you have friends who sympathize with or have voted for the Green Party and have opinions about it, send this to them, and have them send their responses to [e-mail]. If this e-mail is unwanted, tell us never to contact you again, and we wonít.

It is nice to see that they realize that this is going to be a tough election and getting rid of Bush is near the top of their minds.

[oostevo]

6. I doubt I'll vote for them

if they run a candidate, but I like their idea of party building in states where either Democrats or Republicans are definately going to win, to build a party base.

[Clete]

8. Actually this how the Greens should build their base

on the local level. We have Green on our city council. Once you start making your mark locally, then you can aspire to higher offices and even President when your numbers grow. But to vote for a Green for President right now would be disasterous to our country because there aren't enough of you.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. I reserve the right to vote Green

No matter what.

It so happens that I have every intention of voting Democratic, but it is important to me to have the freedom to vote any way I want, no matter how often some folks repeat the mantra that a vote for a Green is a vote for Bush.

[Clete]

12. It won't make a big difference anyway.

Nader only got 2% last time. It would be better though if your party grew in numbers before you ran Presidential candidates. I don't think Nader did anything for you since he's really a Republican anyway. I don't know what his motive was, but I don't think it was to advance the Green party.

[Terwilliger]

15. hahahahahaha

same old crap

maybe he's trying to sabotage Green party chances as a favor to the Democratic party! THAT way he'd be a traitor.

[Terwilliger]

14. I will be voting...

what about you?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. Who here is flaming GD, no matter what?

[TheYellowDog]

18. this isn't a flame war

it's been a very mild thread.

[Pastiche423]

19. Only because

the poster din't get what he wanted.
