Jill Stein Arrested: Green Party Nominee Faces Charges After Bank Protest

The Green Party and Ms. Stein are definitely on the right road, but I have to advocate this position: this time around, reelect President Obama

============================

No, 2008 was the last straw for me.

I and many other liberal Democrats have been warning about and fighting the DLC-Democrats (corporate Democrats) for 25 years.  We predicted this outcome, but Democratic voters like you have bought into the fear tactics until what you've gotten is exactly what you're terrified of: Republican legislation and policies.  It doesn't seem to make a dent in your thinking that you're getting Republican policies and legislation from Democratic politicians.  

What is necessary is breaking the lock that both parties have on the process, breaking their control over the discussion and the solutions.  That's only going to happen when third parties are included in the debate, and that is only going to happen when third parties get 5% of the vote.  That's all that's needed.  To be perfectly candid with you, I think it's already too late, but voting third party is really the last best effort and really the least we owe ourselves.

If you fear that that would put Romney in and he's the anti-Chr!st, you probably also believed John McCain would have governed differently than Obama.  There's been analysis of a possible McCain administration and there's really little difference from what we got with Obama.  Obama is Bush-Cheney's third term.  And, in fact, Romney's record as governor isn't much different than Obama's as president. There were even moments of liberalism to Romney's record (gun control, state co-pays for abortion, etc.) - Certainly more progressive than Obama.  

But as I said, I'm going with the longer term plan instead of reacting as frightened voters have for the past 20 years that the DLC has been pushing our buttons: Breaking the chains, the fix, the lock, that the two parties have on our system of elections and government.
