Electronic voting is the bane of our democracy. In 2004-2005 it was the Green Party that took the lead in demanding a recount of the ballots in Ohio.

The Democrats gave up and went home, conceding questionable results and allowing Bush to retain the White House. Thankfully for the citizens of Ohio the lowly Greens decided to stand for the principle that ALL votes count, and that ANY hint of fraud should be investigated.

Now, it's two years later, and what are we beginning to hear again? Read More

I was called a troll on Aug 24th for saying it, and now a number of the good old gang here are repeating it, including Kos himself.

Green candidates call single-payer national health insurance as the lone solution to 45 million Americans without coverage

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green candidates across the U.S. have made health care for all a top campaign issue, demanding single-payer national health insurance, and accusing Democrats and Republicans alike of sweeping the health care crisis under the rug while accepting major insurance company contributions.

"Greens are calling health care a national emergency, while many Democratic and Republican candidates are talking about it as little as possible," said Bob Levis, Wisconsin Green candidate for the U.S. House (5th District) http://www.boblevis.org.

Mr. Levis is running against incumbent F. James Sensenbrenner, who owns over three million in pharmaceutical stock and has voted against reforms such as the patients' bill of rights. "More than 45 million Americans, including 9 million children, have no health coverage. Millions of other Americans have inadequate coverage. The U.S. leads in medical technology, but the worst access to health care among industrial nations." Read More

Here you have one of the shining stars of the Democratic party getting in bed with the Godfather of FOX News, Rupert Murdoch.

The mating ritual of the unlikely allies has been under way for months. Clinton set political tongues to wagging last month by attending a Washington party celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fox News, the cable news channel owned by Murdoch.
The Financial Times quoted one unnamed source as describing the Clinton-Murdoch connection in this way: "They have a respectful and cordial relationship. He has respect for the work she has done on behalf of New York. I wouldn't say it was illustrative of a close ongoing relationship. It is not like they are dining out together."

It's pretty clear that the DSCC and the DLC dominated leadership of the party has decided that Joltin' Joe is their man, and they will do nothing to sanction him or hinder him as he opposes Lamont. Read More

Quite a bit of searching through Google today has revealed nothing concerning the challenge of Joe Lieberman's petitions by the CT Democrats. I'm at a loss as to why the media has not covered this challenge, given all the attention that the challenge of Green petitions in Illinois and Pennsylvania have received. Read More

Strange how the DSCC, a committee supposedly created to support the Democratic Party's candidates for Senate, lists Joe Lieberman as a Democrat who is running as an independent. Shouldn't he be listed as simply an independent?

And to top that off, why are so many of the press releases on this page highlighting Lieberman? Only one highlights Lamont's campaign, and that only after the primary election. There appears to be nothing regarding him prior to the primary.

It's almost as if he didn't exist until after the primary.

Democrats...get your folks in line!

Progressives, take note...as goes Lamont, so goes any other Progressive candidate who dares to take on the DLC "centrists."

Greens call for U.N. General Assembly to invoke 'Uniting for Peace' resolution for immediate ceasefire in Lebanon.
---
The U.S. veto in the U.N. is the major obstacle to peace, say Greens, who note that Bush ideologues favor attacks on Iran and a wider Middle East conflict.
---
Israel must withdraw troops from Lebanon immediately.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Green Party of the United States today called on the General Assembly of the United Nations to invoke Resolution 377 'Uniting for Peace' in the face of the U.N. Security Council's inability to stop the violence the Middle East.
