1. True
but being so afraid of losing that one has no guts to stand for anything isn't all that either.

3. And what is Kerry standing for at the moment?
He promised to "count all the votes", and yet is apparently doing squat in Ohio.

5. he's been involved in some lawsuits
I don't think this is the time to step up yet... the republicans are already spinning and discrediting the fraud allegations left and right...

9. It's way past time for at least ponying up $$$$
letting one's name be place on various and sundry lawsuits is the bare minimum....Kerry needs to be funneling money to the Glibs fighting the good fight. It's just ridiculous for workers to be begging for gas money.

7. the good politicians stand for the people until they become
corrupted by the power and the money. Then, to keep it they must become sell outs. The greens are still for the people. I hope it stays that way. When they start getting too big they may change, power corrupts, absolute power yada yada yada.

8. I ran for president this election...
Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 04:47 PM by LoZoccolo
...under my own Most Progressive Party with the promise of full employment, complete independance from oil within 18 months, pullout from Iraq, and a number of other things. Basically there was no reason to vote for Nader if I was running, and if you voted for Nader rather than me, that meant that you were against the things that I promised and Nader didn't (like you were against oil independance). I could go find the posts if I could do an author search that far back!

10. Cobb is legit, hard working and very caring.
I gave him a ride from a meeting in Norfolk Va to a hotel. We talked and I found him to be very intelligent, a good speaker and hard worker. He was very thoughtful in talking about the goals of the Greens.

12. That's not true
Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 04:52 PM by Carolab
they have a reputation and legitimate political capitol to protect. I have the distinct impression that David Cobb is very compassionate.
