The first, and only, live debate between candidates on the Green Party's California ballot for President of the United States featuring a former Democratic Party member of Congress, consumer protection icon, professor and environmental engineer is scheduled here January 13, said John Morton of the Green Party Presidential Debate Committee. The debate is sponsored by the Green Party of Alameda County, the San Francisco Green Party, the Sacramento County Green Party and endorsed by the Green Party of San Mateo County.
The debate will be held Sunday, January 13 at 2 p.m. at the Herbst Theater/Veterans Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco.
"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan, a former Democrat - will co-moderate the debate.
Six-time Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader who is not yet an announced candidate, university professor Jared Ball and environmental engineer Kent Mesplay will participate in "Campaign 2008: A Presidential Debate that Matters." Sheehan, running as an independent Congressional candidate against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, will be joined by other prominent progressive elected officials, to be announced later.
The event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10-25. For more information go to http://www.acgreens.org/debate.
Nader and McKinney debating with Sheehan moderating?! I thought this was The Onion at first glance...
~Suggested donation....I think that’s how I’ll start viewing my taxes...mere suggested donations to help the government run....hahaha
I can think of few things as mind-numbingly horrifying as listening to Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader debate each other.
All the more so when Cindy Sheehan is the moderator.
(Slapping hand on forehead)
Will it be carried by Comedy Central?
“The event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10-25”
I was going to a comedy night club that evening, but WTH, this is funnier AND cheaper.
Sign me up!
Put it on the DUFU schedule!
You have got to be kidding?
I mean really this maybe the funniest thing I have read in many moons.
Hey, don’t insult the Stooges!
A couple of beers before hand...a friend or two. And I bet we could have some great laughs
“Nadir in ‘08!”
That Scott Ott sure is funny! Wait, this isn’t from Scrappleface?
YGBSM!
Green is the new Red.
“A couple of beers before hand...a friend or two. And I bet we could have some great laughs”
Why does the phrase: “Don’t Tase me Bro!” come to mind?
The real question is whether any of them, cindy included, will ever shut up long enough for there to be a debate. All of them are way too much in love with the sounds of their voices.
But on the plus side, maybe cindy and cindy can have a buggy-eyed contest.
Please, this has to be on national television.
