Nader's Barnacles. Safe State Greens?

[Solitaire]

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader today urged
the Democratic and Republican Parties to "stop maliciously trying
to entangle our campaign with their own desperate maneuvers."

Nader was critical of the Democratic Party for the anti-democratic
efforts to keep Nader off the ballot and of the Republican Party
for seemingly using the campaign for their own misperceived purposes.

"We want them to get off our back, leave us alone, stop trying
to infiltrate our campaign and let us compete in an already rigged
two party political system," said Nader.

Nader's Barnacles

And yet, a few people will vote for the Democrats and the Republicans.

There is no greater political imperative this year than to retire
the Bush regime, one of the most dangerous and extremist in
U.S. history. As people dedicated to peace, economic justice,
equality, sustainability and constitutional freedoms, we are
committed to defeating Bush.

The only candidate who can win instead of Bush in November
is John Kerry. We want Kerry to replace Bush, because a Kerry
administration would be less dangerous in many crucial areas,
including militarism, civil liberties, civil rights, judicial appointments,
reproductive rights and environmental protection.

But while helping Kerry-Edwards defeat Bush-Cheney, we don't
want to endorse Kerry positions that are an insult to various causes
we support, including movements for global justice and peace that
have burgeoned in recent years. Indeed, we want to communicate
to Kerry and the world that we oppose many of his policies, including
some that are barely distinguishable from Bush policies.

Safe State Greens

I do like Cobb, but this 'safe state stategy' is not a 'sane state stategy'.
Sigh.
