beg to disagree and I think y'all were steamrolled
what was the turnout of the electorate 60%? if the remianing hate the dems and repos voted for Jill Stein she would be the president today. If everyone who held their nose and voted for Obama voted for Jill it would be a landslide. The sheeple have been well trained. PZ wrote a blog entry about why he didnt vote green because they didnt have local organization. That just mean americans are lazy. You dont like the local machine fuckem, start a new machine.

Hmm...
I'm generally nervous of candidates for national office that have not held important elective office before.
According to Wikipedia, Stein's elective office background consists of 2 terms on the Lexington Town Meeting board for Precinct 2. The Lexington Town Meeting consists of lots and lots of people - http://ci.lexington....ctedofficials.cfm Just Precinct 2 has 21 members. It looks like a community association to me, though with members who have more responsibilities than your usual subdivision association. She may be a fine person, but she has nothing in her background that indicates she can function effectively heading a multi-trillion dollar organization. A president isn't a king and can't do anything without allies in Congress. She has none. It's fine to say that "Americans are lazy". But it's also fine to say, "Why should I vote for her for President when she can't even win a state-wide race in her home state?" Her job is convince the voters, not the other way around. Cheers, Scott. |

HA!
Now being a community organizer isn't fitting background for a President?

Apparently, there was nothing he was willing to fight or argue for. This is a surprise?
