Cool video, JP. However, if we vote Green or some other party, we will get the Teabaggers and GOP. And while I agree Obama hasn't done all that we hoped he would do, when you look at what THEY want to do, it would be infinitely worse. The problem is our system makes it impossible to send a message by voting Green or Socialist without giving away the election to the other side. We need to have runoff voting in the United States as they do in some other Western countries, so that one can vote one's conscience the first time. Then we'd see how strongly people REALLY feel about a third party and the Dems and GOP would get the message - in fact, the third party might even win in a runoff!
