But there aren't, so I'm an independent.

1. You mean non-partisan?
Independent American Party is right-wing.

I liked Kucinich too. Dem party leaders don't tend to support progressives. Hopefully we can change that.

protest the current Nazi occupation as a kind of ribbon identifier?

Thought you'd get a charge from it. I posted some links to the post-WWII Project Paperclip to reinforce the idea for those who didn't know the US took in Nazis by the hundreds.

(I met Dennis Kucinich in Chicago at Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/Push Coalition this year. Dennis is IT. Total Integrity. My frail mother stood in the rain with a highway banner while she was recovering from breast cancer in support of Kucinich during the primaries.)

We're there, alright. Just because we don't get covered by the media as much as the DLC moderates doesn't mean we're not here.

9. The neo-cons wouldn't mind if the progressives died tragically
sometimes I believe they've employed folks in domestic wetwork.

Be that as it may, Kucinich is truly progressive, Feingold is actually a moderate-but ethical.

It's too bad that the campaign reform law was watered down, but it was a move in the right direction-perhaps too late to stem the rampant corruption fostered by this administration.:mad:

13. Fair enough,

provided that you're not going to complain if the Republicans win in 2008.
