Van Jones considered for Green Party nomination

exactly a guy who thinks money is the root of all evil get the cross get the guacamole

Obama is not a socialist. Either you are pretending to be stupid or you are simply stupid.
It's your call.
"worst care in the world.

thats why people come from around the world to recieve our specialized medical care."

The US has very good, even excellent health technology. However, the worst delivery system in the free world. If you get cancer, you will not be able to afford the treatment unless you are a billionaire and you pay out of pocket because you *will* be denied coverage. What good is 'high-quality health care' when you can't have any?
Sorry, that cancer thing? It appears to be a pre-existing condition.
But, hey, don't let the facts get in your way, jingo-bells.

Van Jones is a Democratic Socialist, and Ron Paul is a Republican with Libertarian views.. I don't think they'd do well together, considering they're on complete opposite sides of the political spectrum.

Where is Ron Paul, 'he is still running'. Running for what? The campaign is over! I sure hope we end campaign mode and govern for a while. Ron Paul is a Senator, he should be working, not campaigning.

We can't follow the leader we have today. What makes anyone think we should listen to people today, telling us what they will do tomorrow? It's never tomorrow, it's always today!

Your house was bugged? And you have proof of this?

Smart Grid just means that the grid will have capacitors and transformers placed differently, so that small-time power generators like solar and wind can be fed back into the system, and so that channels can be shut down when they aren't being used during non-peak hours.

Man, was she done dirty!

no but the bias is clear

"they advocate the non-violent dismantling of capitalism and the state, focusing on collective ownership of the means of production by freely associated producers and restoration of the Commons"

Just keep throwing dirt on yourself...
Eventually you'll be covered in that compost you call "logic".

Obama isn't even Progressive. He's a Middle-Of-The-Road, Conservative, Please-All Democrock. Please, stop trying to incorrectly place him in a political spectrum with wild guess and red herring logic from FAXED NEWS.

Please do some research on who obama sorrounds himself with, then do some research on eco-socialism, and tell they dont look alike before you accuse me of.

"incorrectly place him in a political spectrum with wild guess and red herring logic from FAXED NEWS."

and tell me they dont look alike before you accuse me of***

Who he surrounds himself with does not have anything to do with his policies or how he conducts himself in office.

He's trying to reach across party lines and desperately trying to get everyone to get along. He's not a Marxist, he's a Democratic Centrist. A fence-sitter. He's not even a Progressive or a Liberal. He's one push away from a Blue-Dog Democrat.

I'm willing to bet you don't have a clue as to why Obama is an Eco-Marxist... How about you give an example. I have plenty of examples to the contrary. He certainly hasn't dismantled anything capitalistic or from the state.

He just wants to control it.

Lincoln surrounded himself with people he hated as to better understand the view of America as a whole. Only people who are unsure of thier decisions need people around them who agree with them.Compare Dick Cheney and Bush's similarities with Obama and Liberman's diffrences.

look at whats happening in california, theyre keeping water from farmers to save some stupid fish. theres 40 percent unemployment, is that acceptable in this type of economy? and all because of these envoirnmentalist groups

'He wasnt single payer insurance, more taxes, supports abortion, big government.'

Not sure what that sentence means but I'll guess...
He (Obama?) wants(?) single payer? No he does not. When did he say that? Show me.
However Canada *does* have single payer health insurance. The extreme right-wing theocratic prime minister of Canada is in Washington today, in fact, and I don't here him complaining about it.
More taxes? Boo hoo. How the fuck do you think America is going to pay off Bush's debt? Wish it away? Sell Alaska?

Let's be clear. 82% of the current national debt was imposed by Bush. That is simply a fact.

Big government? No president in the history of the USA has expanded gov't more than Bush and Reagan.
I directly challenge you to prove otherwise and I am waiting for your response.
BTW, I expect you to back up your claims with documentation.

"The House voted Thursday to deny all federal funds for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the scandal-tainted community organizing group that comes just three days after the Senate took similar action."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090917/ap_on_go_co/us_congress_acorn_24

Obama is corrupt as well for supporting Acorn, and not severing ties with the organization, how could there not be oversight? the united states census burau servered ties with ACORN, the US government should as well

A change in title will stir up alot more dirt than one might think.

Unfortunately that is the BIGGEST challenge here in the good ol US of A, intelligence! And I'm not talking about the CIA either.

Hey hey hey, not all of us man

He's not a communist. -_-

Obama's not even a liberal..

He is not an avid communist. Learn more about him. He is a Democratic Socialist...........like in the EU .

And you are a moron who does not know what a 'communist' is. Work on that.

He is not an avid communist. Learn more about him. He is a Democratic Socialist...........like in the EU .

* carmalite

Not even. Obama is not even left of center. Please.
Is preventive detention a 'liberal' thing? Really?

@RFIDemocracy OK explain to me what it is, and i can tell you wat van jones is like.

"OK explain to me what it is, and i can tell you wat van jones is like."

Did you want to make another attempt at a complete sentence?

@RFIDemocracy, lol your mean. True though, Obama is much more conservative then one would be lead to believe by American media. His actions support conservative ideas while his speaks liberally. I don't like nor dislike him but he is damn far from a communist.

how can he be far from communism when he is surrounding himself with van jones a self avowed communist!

'how can he be far from communism when he is surrounding himself with van jones a self avowed communist!'

OK, lets clear this up. 'Van Jones is a self-avowed communist'.
In otherwords, you can now link to me to Van Jones saying 'I am a Communist'. Is that correct?

You said it. Now, please back up your claim with the evidence. I am pretty sure you cannot because you haven't yet finished pulling it out of your ass.

Here's a form to fill out to make it easy:
I, Van Jones, am an a self-avowed communist and the link to support this contention can be found @_________________________.

Listened to his every word. Van Jones did not say 'I am a communist'
FAIL

you mustve not watched the whole video

Even though they have conflicting ideologies.

buzz kill lol i just dig the third party power houses

BirdBrainBob tries to spell once again. LOL

And you want to be vicious and cruel, once again.

Soon it'll just be your MO.

I don't suffer fools gladly.

It's a wonder how you deal with yourself.

Oh honey, you should know better than use your nickname for someone else! But it was sure nice of you to share DOUCHEBAG!!!

It's a good thing what you did isn't called wit...that would hurt wit's feelings.

I see. I guess you voted for bush.

No one gets my vote. I'm not backing anyone who I don't have full trust in.

I'm not going to back someone who'll end up in some sort of stupid controversy.

Why is it the people who really show the most racist sentiment, are always the ones shouting from the rooftops what they think the NON-racists will consider racist?

Do you even know any minorities? I mean outside of work and school and other settings you are forced to interact in.

:::awaits the "my best friend is..." response:::

jjammer continually defends himself and yet when i call him a loser with no life he avoids it why because he has no freinds and acts like hes five in order to prove my point

Jammer wants you to believe he never voted for Bush. Ever. LOL

I don't have to state my best friend is anything, because it doesn't matter whose your best friend. It proves nothing.

I'm Japanese....that doesn't matter.

I'm half and half like Obama is half and half....a mutt. But that doesn't matter either.

And I did not vote for Bush because it is as I said.

But that doens't matter either.

What matters is what i said not who said it. And Hillary said it best.....she knew what was the most important thing to focus on.

Do you know that quote? No you don't, because you don't follow it.

Damn, I really wish we didn't feel it so necessary to demonize the people we disagree with. I don't always agree with JJammer, but I can see the point: don't vote for people you don't fully feel you trust. The problem is we don't really know what it is that makes us trust someone and it takes more time than we're given in any campaign to know how we really feel about a candidate. Then there is the marketing... He/She that has the most coins is seen the most; the one most seen is the most heard; the most consistently heard with the most consistent words is seen to be most consistently trustworthy, all of which can be manufactured. Good thing none of it truly matters in the end, though it will take eons before we in the west realize that the individual (and the life an individual leads) can make a much larger impact in the end; it's a chain reaction that continues with those positive parents raising positive kids.

I think we really need the Green party. The other two are owned by the paracites who are destroying the American dream by outsourcing our jobs and insourcing tech workers while we have unemployed tech workers.

exactly poor people values birdman stupid comment...go!!!!!

Yea our Capitalist valules of outsource all the jobs, steal all the 401 K plans by creating securitized instruments, and credit default swamps that break the economic system and create not only unemployment but loss of health care is the best.system.
We can steal from the middle class and poor with impunity and support family values and Christianity at the same time. And out politicians get millions from the very bankers who hurt the economy. Capitalism without regulations is working so well for the very rich.

It will take a while for the comfortable but not rich to feel the pinch, but our politicians will have a few years to stack up the money so they can leave when it really gets bad here.

yea protecting the ENVIRONMENT is such a Socialist and Communist thing. Learn how to spell by the way.

you cant even spell it. Come out of the hills for a few, take a class or something.

As one hillbilly said not too long ago.

He's your sign

Stupid fuck.

Second that, BirdBrainBob

Bwahahahahaha!!

You're never funny. Go head Joe Wilson's campaign, since he won't be re-elected to Congress.

'I hear he's tapping Kanye for VP.'

Uh, no. Too Repug-like

Perhaps we need to stop feeding the pigs who are being fed by the corporations and outsourcing all that was good about America.
I am ready to quit voting for people like Baucus who are just paracites.

Unless you punish the Democrats for one election cycle by voting for people who aren't trying to screw you over, they will never get better.

They'll just get more and more Baucus-y.

With his name still fresh this nomination can only lead in a postive direction. More people will know of the green party and some of them will join.

that's positive thinking for ya!

I will vote for another Black candidate just to spite comments like this.

I like Obama. I don't think he is a bad president. I do however think he could stand up for what be believes in more. I do think if he doesn't show courage of his convictions he won't get a second term. He has to get mad.
