very eloquent, i am impressed. i am glad there are people like you who truly care about what is happening to this country. read Chomsky to stay objective and grounded and understand the dynamics of how countries get into these messes.

@NaterMcTots I am a white American and I voted for this man. I agree with everything he and La Riva says. The USA is controlled by bankers and the people are kept in thrall. Obama is a Kenyan aristocrat. I will vote for PSL again, no matter who they run, because of my true belief in Chavez, Morales, Correa, and all the Latin American leaders whom the PSL approves of. To me, this PSL is not just about USA, but bringing justice to so many years of continued abuse of Latin American land resources

This guy and La Riva are fucking jokes. Socialism will NEVER make it to the U.S. The people (yes, that includes the "workers") are far too smart for it. Seriously, what percentage of the vote do all of the socialist political parties (I'm talking the PSL, Workers World, SPUSA, Socialist Workers, and the rest of the legions of them) get each year? 2%, tops? Just goes to show that the people of this country do NOT want socialism. It's also worth noting that Puryear is only 22 and thus can't run.

keep on speaking truth to power!

We will end this war! (hey, I remember 17 friggin' years that Vietnam lasted and it simply is not an option to let Iraq/Aghanistan drag on as long as Vietnam)

Impeachment is the Cure for Mad Cowboy Disease!

End the Warfare State - $174 million a day in taxes wasted in Iraq.

Keep Hope Alive,
