check it out...

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?

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.

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..)

about what nader's done for you and the nation?

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.

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
