So again, I ask, how far are you willing to go?
Are you willing to acknowledge the tradition of third parties and give them their due? Are you willing to recognize that they must be included in debates that the Democratic nominee and Republican nominee will be in this fall and must be granted the same ballot access as Democrats and Republicans have? Are you willing to organize for debate inclusion and ballot access?
Are you willing to campaign for one of these candidates because they put issues on the table that Democrats and Republicans are refusing to touch? Are you willing to support any of these candidacies which advocate for a visionary approach to improving our democracy and repairing our standing in the world?
Are you willing to admit that you have been ignored and dismissed by a party who is running a candidate you are considering or forcing yourself to vote for in November because of the fear of what the other candidate might do? Are you willing to admit that this party which has ignored and dismissed you is counting on your fear of what the other party might do in order to win? Are you willing to admit that they don’t need your help to win and if they did, they would have accepted your input on issues like impeachment?
Are you willing to admit that the Democratic Party should not own a monopoly on progressive values in America anymore because they have failed to uphold the Constitution and support impeachment?
Consider that Democrats have been preparing a 2008 victory for about two years. Consider that they don’t care about the American people except if caring about the American people means they can achieve victory in 2008. Consider how if they lose in 2008 it will be proof that they are more interested in advancing their own party agenda (which is out of touch with what the American people want) than serving the American people.
And consider how we are once again faced with a lesser of two evils situation.
As you by now know, if you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting evil. This election season the evil that you are considering voting for is an evil that refused and continues to refuse to prosecute high crimes and misdemeanors which have been committed in our nation’s name.
I do not wish to live in a country that continues to run like a mafia racket. Neither should you.
Our toleration of politicians' refusals to uphold impeachment has gone on for far too long. We must refuse to support politicians who still find impeachment to be taboo and that most definitely includes prospective Democratic candidates for president.
How far we are willing to go in 2008's election will determine whether the Bush program continues unrepudiated after January 2009 or not. Our success or failure in refusing to engage in politics as usual like the powers that be hope us to do will also bring out the truth by showing if we Americans have learned anything from seven years of a tyrant-run two-party dictatorship.
