This is something I wrote a week ago in response to a local Democratic Party Apparatchik Political Consultant who endorsed Huffman:

I'm going to vote for Marsha Feinland, P&F, because there is no Green Party candidate. Besides, Feinstein, for all her financial and war mongering shenanigans, has a lock, her re-nomination and...

Gus, Jim,

The Green Party of the U.S.A. has advocated and worked for Electoral Law Reform in terms of IRV and other changes that would make Third Party efforts more likely to bear electoral...

Larry,

I rarely, pretty much never, intrude on this thread of yours. And I prefer that others resist the urge as well (with the proximate exception of Attic who provided very informative...

Patchen,

At no point was I quoting anyone, those are my words, I was summarizing a take on why the protests have taken off in such a massive and relatively unprecedented way, based on my reading...

The protests are in response to the Provincial Debt of Quebec, affecting the services and future of the Quebecois. Including education, but all social services and economic development.

Ubaru,

Census data by name, address and ethnicity will still be collected in the regular Census. That is not under threat of defunding by the Teabaggers in the House.

I too think the reaction to this long exiting sociological research practice, which is done for good and necessary reasons, is, uh, unfounded and irrational.

But, how's this for consolation? Once...

Beverly revived an old thread. It pays to check the dates.

Addendum:

This is just a statement of fact. In response to the queries about whether Rue Furch is running in the upcoming primary, or...

Meherc,

Thanks for your professional opinion about the 990. Good info. I worked as top administrative staff for a local non-profit, a major one, the ARC, back in the day. For three years. Don't...

Upon further research I sit corrected. The proper name of this country is, "United States of America", although in proper English it is always referred to as the United States of America. There are...

Technically "U.S.A." does not qualify, since the full name of this country is:

The United States of America.

If you listen to what Carrillo is saying before Carpenter stands up and does his taking off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves act, it's pretty clear why he did it. And given the way Carrillo was...

The comments are worth a look as well.

I've withheld comment on this thread recently because I get tired of bursting bubbles of delusion and illusion all of the time. I'm glad others have weighed in with additional critical information. ...

Patrick,

I agree that Toxic Reverend's slander of you is unfounded and absurd.

One quibble, I didn't look before you stated that he does not use his actual name in his profile, so I don't...

I have it upon close and personal authority, that the SPD have referred to themselves as, "May Berry RFD", because basically, they have nothing to do. This happened during one of their, Ride-Along's....

Dusty,

Sonic.net's Fusion package provides DSL, landline and free long distance calling. I'm happy with it. Some of my money goes to AT&T indirectly, because Sonic.net buys access from them. But I...

Glia,

You're being obtuse. And presumptuous. And jumping to conclusions without any evidence for those conclusions.

Podfish,

I was acquainted with Ward Reilly in the political scene in Chicago in the nineties! And that thread is oh so typical.

You start off great making cogent summaries of the relevant concerns. Then as is your "occasional" habit you go over the top and off the rails.
