Reply #77: Most people don't know the Green agenda

They simply mouth the mindless mush propaganda that both the 'Pugs and Dems feed them. Hell, talk about colusion, the Dems and 'Pugs team up every four years to keep the Greens and others out of the debates. What the hell are they afraid of, somebody who is willing to make a real difference?

And speaking of cutting of your nose, etc., what do you think the Dems are doing as they drift ever rightward in search of that 'Pug lite vote? Hell, do you realize that the largest group of liberals and progressives in this country don't vote? They see no real answer in the Dems, but interestingly enough, now that the Greens have got a little momentum going, they're becoming active again.

Hell, I'd even be happy if the Greens get the same kind of insluence that the Socialists had in the thirties. During FDR's first re-election run, he was scared of the Socialists nicking off enough voters to cost him the election. So what did he do? He went out and stole a couple of Socialist planks, unemployment insurance and Social Security. Two of the most popular programs ever. So gee, third parties can have a major influence, who'da thunk.
