www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=5624140Here in Washington State the Greens have just been scewered by an administrative error in which they failed to publish the date of their convention within the legal time allowed by the State. Nader, Greens, etc. are all held rigidly to these standards. It's nice to see that the Dems of Illinois are so warm and fuzzy about fairness when it comes to their arch rival and hated nemisis King George .

Yeah. This is why I figure the Democrats are dead in the water and don't even know it. They keep playing nice while the whole time they get kicked in the teeth for their efforts. I had the crazy thought there for a moment to copy/paste your post to two Dem/progressive yahoo groups I belong to. Then I realized it would be a wasted effort. I would merely be branded as "negative" and ignored.
In the meantime, I have a minor dilemma. The county dems group I (formerly?) belonged to wants my help in signing up new voters. The dilemma is this: a) I no longer consider myself a democrat, b) though I may vote for Kerry, I can NOT bring myself to actively work for him c) while they are acting on a suggestion that I, myself, originally made to them last year, I can NOT trust myself to work that closely with rabid ABBers.
As much as I want bu$h out, I am not crazy about Kerry. I dont' believe he will be as bad or worse than bu$h, but he's still a far, far cry from what this nation needs. Then there's the "silver lining" that I keep reminding myself of: I worry for nought. Kerry will not be allowed to ascend his throne no matter how many people vote.

I recieved word today that the whole matter here in Wa. was just a glitch in the administration of documents pertaining to the etc.etc.etc.
So the Green candidates are on the ballot here.
BFD.
I resigned from the Greens yesterday when I found out about their ABB deal to not run in "swing" states.
What a bunch of gutless brown nosers. "were sorry massa, we won't rock the boat agin,massa!
If I were still a man that drank, I would.
