Anti-war people, are you going to support the only democrat who'll end the war, or the green party?

Question

Or something else?

I think Dennis Kucinich and the Green Party are the only alternatives to ending the war immediately. Are there others?

Answer 1

I don't think Ron Paul will actually end the war. The man is against regulation, and that means the semi-privatized war created by Bush will remain outside his scope of conception.

He talks a mean game of peace, but I think he doesn't quite grasp the fact that this is not the standard war, and is probably unstoppable unless we literally admit that the corporations are in charge of our country, and we're fighting in their interest alone.

Green party? They won't survive the onslaught of neanderthal republican propaganda.

Personally, I think we need a bloody violent revolution to change the situation, and that's just not gonna happen, given America's notorious political apathy.

I'll put a hundred devalued US dollars on the table saying we'll still be in Iraq in significant troop numbers, ten years from now.

This is not ending any time soon.

Answer 2

I expect that this year, the neo-cons will once again be pouring money into the Greens, hoping to divide the Democrats and sneak another neo-con into the White House.

After doing this with the Greens and Mr. Nader once before, very few of us will fall for it again, and I rather doubt that Mr. Nader will go along this time either.

Since the President certainly will leave this mess as his legacy to whomever takes over for him, it will fall on us to find a way out that does not simply leave total chaos behind, and this will have the most strident and rabid of the neo-cons shouting about how the Democrats didn't end the war right away.

Much as those same folks do today when they point at Congress and claim that since the Democrats didn't simply cut off all funds and leave our troops without food, water or ammunition, we must really support the war.

Fortunately, no matter how many times the Republicans challenge legitimate military votes (as they did with their caging scheme in Florida) or how many times they put in paperless, untraceable voting machines pre-loaded with Republican votes (New Mexico and Ohio) or even when they try to divide the electoral votes in Democratic states while keeping the "winner takes all" system in Republican states (as they are trying to do in California), the country is so sick of the repeated lies and cheating and hypocrisy of the current batch of neo-cons that the only way they could stay in power is to stage a coup.

And since the military primarily consists of people of honor, who realize that their sworn oath is first to the Constitution (and are pretty sick of the neo-cons too), that's not very likely.

Of course, Blackwater would probably be happy to help them here, but I doubt that they want to take on the entire US military just to keep a bunch of corrupt neo-cons in office.

I sure do wish that the conservatives would take back control of the Republican party. It would be nice to have honest conservatives to debate with.

Of course, honest conservatives would never have gotten us into this mess in the first place.

Answer 3

Yes. By all means. Let us end our military involvement in Iraq and withdraw all of the troops from there. Let's not even give them a parade. In fact, we can probably just summarily discharge most of them. But, in the future, if some crazed SOBs decide to attack this nation, one of our war ships, or fire on one of our aircraft, don't look around for "hired help" in uniform to come to the rescue. They won't be there. Nor will the next generation of warriors be lining up at the doors of the recruiting offices. And don't come crying to the thousands of veterans of that conflict and express your regrets at your actions. They won't help out either. Maybe Kucinich can invite Al Queda, Ansar Al Islam and the rest of the Jihadists to the Kumbaya table. But, I guarantee they will just enter the room and start shooting people in the head.
I have a better idea. Kucinich and Ron Paul running together on the Ostrich Party ballot. If they lose, we'll move the Navy Finance Center out of Kucinich's district and the hypocritical idiot can go back to the "mistake on the lake" to ponder his hypocrisy.
