>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/27/04 10:32 AM >>> My old friend Peter Camejo was quite insistent that Bush will steamroller over Kerry since all the big money and the media likes what he is doing. Check out the debate between him and Norman Solomon if you haven't done so already. It is highly entertaining, nearly as much so as "Sex and the City". <<<<<>>>>>
re. pc - whom i voted for in 76 when he was, according to 2004 green party prez candidate guide, Presidential nominee of Socialist Workers Party -- a militant, Trotskyist communist party. Since then, his strident leftist views have evolved into the democratic socialism of the Green Party that he now espouses - why doesn't he run for city council or mayor of where ever he lives instead of wasting time, money, and effort on go nowhere campaign for prez, green party website lists 'goodly' number of green elected officials (probably most in nonpartisan elections but hey...) ... michael hoover
I have it on good authority that Peter Camejo actually doesn't intend to run for president -- he (probably along with several other candidates currently running in the Green primaries) is a "placeholder" for Ralph Nader.
The Green Party needs to run a presidential candidate, especially in war times, since it is the executive branch of the federal government that determines foreign policy, making life-and-death decisions on matters of war and peace. Running candidates in winnable local elections alone doesn't allow the Green Party to publicize its foreign policy. Besides, on issues of local governance, there are much fewer differences between the Green and Democratic Parties than at higher levels anyway. -- Yoshie
