Vote Green Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Election Day. Recent polls show the Republican ‘s getting out the vote strategy to be tightening the race. Add that to the Diebold machines and the lack of security in the voting machines and, well, you know where this is going. You already saw it in 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio. For the l;ast several months the lefty bloggers have been analyzing any positive trend in the polls as if they were atomic scientists trying to prove string theory, but to no avail I suspect. It is impossible to win a rigged game, as any tourist whose ever been taken in a game of three card monte will attest to. The current crop of democrats have tacked so far to the right that voting for them is almost like voting for a Republican as the term was understood in the 1970s. I’m not sure what Webb is doing in the democratic party, for example.

If the Republicans win this election then the evangelicals will have achieved their goal of completely taking over the government and we’ll all be praying under the Ten Commandments in the Courthouse before the end of the decade.

So, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, The Patriot’s endorsements for select New York Statewide races :

Governer:
By voting for Malachy McCourt, the Green Party candidate for governor, you will help the party regain official ballot status in New York and insure that there are progressive candidates on the ballot for the next four years who do not take corporate money.

Senate:
Howie Hawkins is the Green Party candidate for US Senate. Hawkins, former Marine, long-time anti-nuclear activist and working teamster, opposes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinton stands by her vote to invade. Enough said.

Attorney General:
Rachel Treichler, attorney general candidate, is committed to protecting the rights of all New Yorkers by protecting civil liberties, ensuring fair elections, and stopping greedy developers from demolishing our communities.

Comptroller:
Comptroller candidate Julia Willebrand will make sure that the $140 billion in state pension funds is invested in companies that protect the environment, will deal honestly with consumers, and give working people a fair shake.

When all is said and done, if you oppose the war in Iraq there is only one way to vote this on Tuesday - Vote Green. More information on the candidates can be found on the Green Party’s New York website. The link is over on the left side of this page.
