It looks like control of the Senate will come down to Virginia. And, ironically enough, once again, the green party may well be the difference between electing an enviromentally friendly democratic majority and a kill the trees and drill for oil Republican majority. 25,000 people voted green instead of Democrat, which may well swing the Virginia Senate election, and thus the entire U.S. Senate to the Republicans, and cause just the opposite effect of what they thought they were voting for. These are the same people who voted for Ralph Nader in the last presidential election and swung Ohio and Florida to the Replubicans. So, how's that working out for you folks?
When will the Green party realize that their biggest political donors are all hard core right wing activists? In PA, the Republicans tried desparately to get the green party candidate on the Senate ballot. They contributed to his campaign, collected signatures for him, and filled out all his paper work. Unfortunately, they were a little too enthusiastic and managed to get the same people to sign over and over again, so it got thrown out. Then, the Republican party -- not the green party -- challeneged it in court. How obvious is that? For people who try to pretend they are so politically savvy, green party people are some of the dumbest people in American politics.
