Withdraw from Iraq immediately. Eliminate the No Child Left Behind law. Legalize marijuana.
Those were just some of the goals stated by candidates at the Green Party presidential debate Sunday in San Francisco.
About 800 people of varying ages, economic backgrounds and political parties attended the "Presidential Debate that Matters" at the Herbst Theatre, where the five Green presidential hopefuls spent more time agreeing with one another than actually debating.
"We're not so much against each other as we are for each other," said one of the candidates, Kent Mesplay, an environmental engineer who also ran for the Green Party nomination in 2004. "We have to be because by no means is (the two-party system) a level playing field."
The nearly three-hour event was co-moderated by "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan and KPFA radio host Aimee Allison, who allowed the candidates timed answers to questions about the war in Iraq, illegal immigration, the farm bill and health care, among other subjects.
Nearly every answer was greeted with nods of agreement from the other candidates waiting their turns and by roars of applause from the audience, giving the forum a pep rally feeling.
Bay Area elected officials who are Green Party members - including Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi and San Francisco Board of Education member Mark Sanchez - also took the lecturn, urging the crowd to see the Green Party as the most progressive political option and not as a wasted vote.
"Please. This is serious. This is not a joke. This is about starting a real movement in this country," said candidate Cynthia McKinney to a standing ovation.

Fringy Green Party is unlikely to get even as much support as Duncan Hunter.
The mayor here in Minneapolis is a Greenie. The sad thing is he’s probably to the right of some of the Dem councilmen.
It was with great pleasure that I pulled in front of him with my Hunter 08 bumper sticker!
I hope he was squirming. =o)
With Dunc it’s not instant recognition in the populace.
He probably thought you were out to shoot eight deer.

Where was Cynthia McKinney? She was here in Madison WI talking about 9-11 Truthers! Aw, c’mon, the people of SanFran were ripped off!
Oh please wrap this around Hillarys “Green Collar” neck.
Where’s Cindy Mckinney? I thought she was on the Green ticket?
I just noticed she is in the middle of the fray.
Go Cindahh! Go!
"I'm not familiar with the details of the farm bill. From what I've heard from farmers is that it doesn't work. I would get farmers together and ask them for the answers."Or better yet, go on a listening tour.

Moderator - The question was “What makes you qualified to be President of the United States?”
C # 1 - I thought I answered that. I answered something, didn’t I.
C # 2 - Was that a trick question?
C # 1 - Yeah, what he said. Make weed legal. Lots of it.

Slogans...
A tofu chicken in every pot...
A hybrid in every garage...
Bush lied, let’s get high...
Actually, I'd be in favor of that. It's a bad law designed to nationalize education, er, indoctrination.
Crazy Cynthia seems to have forgotten Rule #1:
If you have to tell us you're (insert adjective)...you're NOT.
