Green Party to run candidate in 2004From the Washington Post: The Green Party emerged from a national meeting over the weekend increasingly certain that it will run a presidential candidate in next year's election, all but settling a debate within the group over how it should approach the 2004 contest.On the one hand, I guess it's good that these people are standing by their principles. But don't any of these people care about winning? Despite their rhetoric, they can't really believe that the two major parites are the same, can they? I volunteered for Carla Howell, the Libertarian candidate in the Massachusetts gubernatorial race, last fall, and to hear it from the Libertarians, Republican Mitt Romney is just another big spender who wants to raise your taxes. I understand that this kind of rhetoric keeps the party base loyal, but do they really think that they're adding anything to the table? And don't they realize that all they're doing is making the major party closer to their positions less likely will win? |
