Here is a sample from DUmmyland of how pissed the Greens are at the Dems(re:the same article). Imagine how pissed the DUmmies are at the greens. Get ready for a big laugh!

deal with it..
You know I came back to the fold hoping something had changed. That maybe the dems had learned the hard way you can't ignore labor and environmentalists forever and expect left support. Faux DLC "liberalism" might have worked in the early 90's but if you go around in camoflague long enough don't be suprised when you get mistaken for well...a Bush.

The Greens have to take certain percentages in different states to stay alive and keep party status. There is a more complex game plan here than ousting Waxman or Wellstone, but I'm sick of trying to explain real world politics, staying on ballots, securing matching funds and another of other real considerations of which minor party effects will not go away no matter how much you chant "Nader bahhhhhhhhhhd" to a bunch of mouthbreathing fools that hold beliefs absolutely 180 from what their political party supports and I could give a damn what mod dems think.

Get pissed, prepare to keep getting pissed. The green party was nothing when the Dems stood for something, now it's just the party that doesn't want to ban abortion and only kowtows to the religious right for presidential elections where the dems get to act like the moral strongarm on Hollywood.

Throw ANWR in my face, I dare you. There was an administration that opened up large areas of northern Alaska for drilling and it's not the one that just tried and failed.

I always figured that most democrats weren't horribly happy with the leadership and it's DLC strategy. That maybe 2k was a wake up call. I was wrong, it's swing voters that are the audience. The disaffected Perotistas, (of which Nader did one hell of alot better than Buchanan at scraping up even though Buchanan was reform party)

You say "Nader makes you sick"? Fu*king Al Gore makes me want to vomit and watching supposedly progressive people stump for him makes me feel like slitting my wrists. I've about hit the point where helping throw elections until the dems are a footnote in history like the bull-moose party, sounds pretty damn good. I didn't get that way listening to Nader, I got it by listening to the Gorestapo until I have come to hate you people worse than republicans. At least republicans don't bitch about people who actually want change, instead of just talking about it and then voting for the party that will take them for granted while courting the right with compromise.

When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved

Yup! It sounds pretty damn good to me too.

From the above rant you posted from a Dem site: "I have come to hate you people worse than republicans. At least republicans don't bitch about people who actually want change..."

I have often read that same sentiment on the Dem sites -- the Greens hate the Dems more the the GOP, and some Greens will vote GOP over the Dem Party every single time. The Dems are in total disarray, with no leadership and no real vision whatsoever. Still, that doesn't stop some Dems from supporting a candidate like JANET RENO for GOVERNOR of FL. I mean, HELLOOOOOO!!!!
