What the fuck?

So, let me just make sure I'm understanding you here.

You spend seven years bitching about everyone who voted for Nader, all the while complaining bitterly about Republicans.

When Democrats take over the Congress you complain bitterly about them.

Your solution is a third party. But that's not grossly inconsistent because the Green Party that supported Nader in 2000 wasn't a "real" third party.

Dude, stick to sex advice. When it comes to politics you're just another soccer mom.

I don't understand it anymore. Focus on local politics--that'll make you sane. Oh wait. . .

The Green Party is a real party? Really?

The true solution is a left-wing party that is both progressive *and* realistic.

We need a third party like we need a balanced budget. That said, it's not gonna happen.

I'd settle for a second party.

"So bullshit, religious-indoctination masquerading as sex-ed doesn't stop or slow teenage sexual activity. But comprehensive, realistic sex-ed does--and it increases the use of contraceptives, which means fewer abortions."

Dan, I think you're overlooking something: to these nutjobs, contraception IS abortion.

Dan,

It's called the Green Party. Most of the crazies went off with Nader in 2004.

The next real party is going to be conservative. There is a real chance that the Republican party will implode. If that happens, something will arise to take its place.
