This presidental campaign has been souring me on politics and specificaly democratic politics, (Hillary please quit before the democrats lose an entire generation of voters)
But then I read about sweatshop Bob and listen to some of the rightwingers that try to defend him and I realize that the volunteer work that I do for the democratic party helps keep people like Bob Schaffer out of office . Even though a certain presidential candidate might annoy the crap out of me, overall liberal values are still much better than the nothing but dollars, values of the republican party.
Liberal values are certainly better than “the nothing but dollars values of the republican party,” but I would say Democrats tend to hold the exact same “the nothing but dollars, values of the republican party.”
Democrats are merely a different arm of the same corporate puppet. True liberals would be well advised to support third parties, however nonviable they might seem.
A compelling third part candidate might even have a chance, Ross Perot in 92 might have been able to do it had he not dropped out and then got back into the race.
Jesse Ventura would probably be a viable third party candidate and yeah I could see supporting Ventura. Hopefully Obama will be the democratic nominee and it wont be necessary to hold ones nose while voting.
