i don't follow b-ball so i don't really have any good context for it, but i'm a huge nader supporter so it's kinda odd to see he's wasting his time protesting nba calls, but then again that's what he does for fun.. protest |

i hope nader runs for president again, but i heard a couple years ago that the green party is running jesse jackson, jr., who i would vote for in a heartbeat. he is very different from his father, personally and politically. anyone know if the green party's picked a candidate yet? |

blast from the past this thread |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Either David Cobb, Carol Miller or Lorna Salzman |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who would you pick? do you know what happened w/ jackson? maybe that was just a rumor and never had much substance to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..don't know enough about any of them yet. Hadn't heard about the JJjr.. I know the green party is in the midst of organizing an african american outreach pgm, maybe he will be a player in that. :\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe.. i wouldn't think he'd confine himself to just race politics tho, he's a lot smarter and more dynamic than his Slutty Dad! |

I voted for the Swedish equiv. of the Green Party - and I'll do it again in a heartbeat. They're so much more fresh than others and they have a sound policy towards every issue I've seen. |

MoG: this is an old thread, hence the dead link nigel, stranger things have happened.. the sex pistols' manager has run for office and now the singer of T.S.O.L. is running for california governor.. those punks got it right |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
jello is a member of the green party tho, right? i mean i would vote for him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea he is a member, i forget what offices he's run for.. very outspoken, i always agree with what he has to say |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i have a disc of him and the no wto combo at the battle in seattle, back when all those riots were going on. really good stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jello is the man, i love his letter to tipper gore. and his urinalysis. i still think i'd vote dem, not green. seems so risky to me. |

depends what state you live in. do something that young people seem to have a lot of trouble with and spend a few minutes researching before voting. many states, mine included (maryland), are historically democrat, making your vote really only symbolic. if your state always goes one party or the other, you can afford to vote for a 3rd party. not only will you feel better for voting with your conscience, the green party still needs a 5% or more pull in votes to qualify for federal funding (ie: get money from the government like the GOP and democrats). nader would've brought them that in 2000 but the democrats scared away the votes he would've gotten (at one point he had an 8 or 9% in a summer poll). |

I aslo heard that as soon as the G.P. hit the 5% mark they raised the procentage to get into the televised debates to 15% - to sort of block out the greens... Was that last election? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the greens didn't get their 5% because of gore's anti-green propogandha spreading.. i don't know if there's a way to automatically appear on televised debates, i think that's up to the tv networks and organizers, who obviously don't want someone telling the truth to hundreds of millions of people |

i live in a risky state. anyhow something about nader never sat right with me anyhow. (not that gore or bush ever sat right with me, but..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what, his eyebrows? don't be shallow.. have you ever read about what nader's done for you and the nation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, you're right, it's only a beauty contest. give me a fucking break. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well what didn't sit right with you if not his platform? i can't imagine it being his personality, he's incredibly noble, passionate, understanding, polite, and humble. not only are all his politics right, he's a very good man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all politicians are creepy.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
something he said about how it didn't really matter who was president didnt sit right with me. i thought it was an incredible overstatement, and since i heard it, i really haven't felt great about the guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an overstatement but only a comment on the similarities of the platforms/opinions of the two leading candidates and, most importantly, how both parties are corporate whores |

I remember there was this game for the sega that had bill clinton playin basketball. I think it was called USA Team Gold or sumthin. It was mildly amusing for myself |
