Activist says Obama could do more 28-Aug-08

[Y2ANJ]

they interviewed the single most ghetto person they possibly could in the field of third party candidates lol. youtube her name and you'll find some hilarious videos. also it is incredible that the greens went from having a huge impact in 2000 with nader to running a truther and a "hip hop activist" in 2008.

I'm a registered Green who will be voting for Obama in November. At this point in time, third party candidates are not viable at the state and national level. I would be "throwing my vote away" if I voted for Cynthia McKinney this fall. The stakes are too high--the country cannot afford another Bush (i.e. McCain) administration. Obama/Biden '08!

[RunCynthiaRun]

40 out of 50 states votes for the major party candidate will be wasted. All votes for Obama in states that McCain wins are wasted. All votes over the winning total in states where Obama wins are wasted. They have no impact on Electoral College.

5% of the vote for McKinney/Clmente means MILLIONS of DOLLARS in funding for the candidate, Green Party, 2012 presidential election. KNOW YOUR FEDERAL ELECTION LAW. 5% is how Green Party becomes viable and 2012 becomes viable.

I'm glad they're interviewing someone who doesn't know anything about this campaign and makes glaringly innacurate statements like "nobody in this campaign has said working class" which is bullshit. I've heard barack talk about working class families all the time. And of course just being a community organizer doesnt qualify you for president, nor does it qualify you to be a commentator on it. But being a senator for a state does and drafting legislation and being a lawyer and being welleducated

[insylogo]

And to say that the "working class" isn't educated enough to understand that you are the best party to represent their interests is a LITTLE more than disparaging to the people of America who know more than miss polly prissy pants here thinks. They know that if they vote green, their vote is thrown away unless the green party gets 5% of the vote in the country, which everyone knows they wont. So even if they believe in their policies, if they're intelligent they will vote for the "lesser evil".

The green party has great ideas, but really they are a joke!

[travelphotographer]

laborgrunt) Do you know what really is a joke? Your mother's big farts.

[laborgrunt]

wow that was smart of you. But seriously how do you see the Green Party being successful in America's winner takes all system. I was we had a parliamentary system so that parties other than the Dems and Repubs could be competitive. In the mean time the green party is a joke, and you sir are a joke too!

[diegoscp]

@laborgrunt how are they a joke? you can't fail to recognize that we live in a two party system which gives no hope to others either from the so called left and right.

Choose your words wisely man.

If you vote green party you will end up paying a carbon tax which will probably give you a warm fuzzy feeling that you are saving the planet but will make no difference as long as 6 plus billion people continue to do nothing.

[EyesoreII]

What?  Totally baseless statement. How are they doing nothing if they are paying for a carbon tax?

[crazycatfguy]

Jesus H Christ I am thinking about not posting comments just because of people like you. 300 million Americans will pay the tax but there are 6.5 billion people on the planet.

[EyesoreII]

America isn't the only place that would implement a carbon tax, besides it pollutes the most so your point is entirely null and you're just being a blubbering idiot

[crazycatfguy]

I happen to be very well informed on the matter thank you very much and your point seems to have missed my point.

Workers of the world UNITE!

Go, sista.

[LetusbFree]

obama is not running for president if black america.

[MicrosoftsourceCode]

This is a stupid and dumb video. I do not see the point. Obama is mixed race and not black.

[GuyInvincible111]

she's right. 5 stars Al Jazeera!

[rodneykingman]

Wow, she is remarkably well spoken and lucid. Very rare for an American.

Great video.

[ArtypNk]

Oh yes, being helpful doesn't make you worth. What makes you worth? Crashing 5 planes during war being worst student in academy, and of course, being captured and held by enemy in camp. That makes you a real smart guy, right?

[WimmyRoad]

No shit!
